I call him "the hollow man"

No apologies necessary $6m. Absolutely spot on.

WIJG - I often wonder why you support AFCW. You don't subscribe to anything it stands for. You carried on supporting WFC after they moved to Milton Keynes, as you put it, out of a sense of loyalty but a loyalty to what? You probably thought it was a sound business decision and believed all the bullshit about big new stadium, huge catchment area, more support, more investment, etc. You openly admit not to care if existing AFCW supporters are priced out as the club should charge as much as it can get away with. If older fans get replaced by new ones, who cares as long as they pay, eh? You would abandon all discounts. You moan that tickets are too cheap yet you sit in the cheaper east stand while you lecture me about enquiring about pricing in the west stand. Your memory and attention to detail is shocking. If it wasn't the case you would have known I have long been an advocate of removing all discounts from central west stand seats. You wrongly assumed I was trying to find out if I could qualify for a concession price. Unless things have changed away clubs get a fee from host clubs for selling away tickets, so £3 is OTT. My issue was not the surcharge but the poor postal service I receive and the risk to the ticket getting lost. Again, you missed this point with your myopic view of money. You talk about denying the club money, but money for what? What have you done, other than come on here and lecture people with you daft suggestions and then claim the club have taken some of them up? Did you buy shares in 2003? Did you take out a bond? Do you make optional donations? You'd do away with the academy and women's teams if they did not make a positive contribution as standalone revenue streams, without considering the wider impact of having them. You refer to DLAG as just handing out tins of soup, without thinking about the good they do for the less well off and the fantastic publicity it gives the club, as well as all the positive goodwill it generates.

Looking forward to finding out who these people are and the significance of it in tomorrow's OTD picture [Link]

My GP asked me recently if I thought I was suffering from long Covid. It hadn't occurred to me and I'm sure I'm not, but I had a feeling that she's finding it quite often.

Well you’re a generation or two out but yes that kinda thing 😊

Trigger-You mean you still love spandex trousers and velvet jackets and winklepicker shoes.

Same Meadow. Sense of smell is only just starting to show signs of recovery (smoke smells like smoke again) but luckily it hasn’t affected my sense of taste.

Timmy, not a long covid sufferer as such, but my sense of smell hasn't returned that much. Luckily my sense of taste is almost back to what it was.

Spit, should have had the vaccine ;-/

Timmy yes, there are a lot of people who still suffer from it but the support is declining, few clinics any longer.

But you are allowed to moan about it Spit so cheer up.

Quote of the year so far : WIJG... 'You don't half moan'

WIJG - I find your repetitive, delusional, inane, ramblings about hiw rich you like to tell people you are and how we should price everyone out of going to games,, who were attending long before you pitched up, tedious beyond belief. I go to games, buy a programme when one is produced and that is it. So what? A football club is more than just making the players rich. It is about how supporters are treated too. That was why AFCW was created to start with but you were too busy supporting franchise in Milton Keynes to notice. I checked about the over 66 concession price in the central west stand because it was a discussion point on here. It will not impact me for a decade and who knows what will exist then.

rest up, spit! covid does have some weird symptoms

Opinions,

Some might say im not allowed any of my opions on here ;-)

Asked a Blackpool fan via Twitter what they thought of Plough Lane other than the match itself: “It was great. The ground has character and the stewards were the friendliest and happiest I’ve encountered at any match I’ve ever attended in 30 years of watching football.”

Agree with all of that Timmy.

Football fans moaning? Who'd have believed it? That is what we do, we each support in our way and moan when it is made difficult.

People are allowed to have different opinions. People are allowed to change their views. People are allowed to be frustrated by any side

I go back to the suggestion that more people would be happy and willing to let the club have the odd £3 here and there if there hadn’t been such an ongoing degradation in trust over the last 6 years or so.

Good for her btw Pads. I was going to put in my comment a note about whether train travel was more self policed back then. Maybe just rose tinted memories.

John Galt - some people support the team, some support the Club, and some support the DT, to varying degrees. These are three distinct parts of AFCW overall. I'd say that I'm 100% behind the team - whatever set of players go out on the pitch I'll support them if I can see that they're putting in the effort, which clearly they all are at the moment. I'm probably 80% behind the Club - I can see that there are financial challenges and by and large they seem to be doing a reasonable job in the circumstances, however I want more transparency about the costs and how the budget is allocated. I'll do my best to contribute however I can - for example I'm going to pay full price for my West Stand season ticket and not take up the early-bird discount that has been offered. I'm probably 50% on the DT - my belief in them has been waning over the last few years. I can see that there are good people there who are doing their best, but collectively it all seems to add up to less than the sum of its parts at times.
