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

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

[Link]

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.

Every now and then you drop the mask Timmy you should just keep it up you’re alter ego is much nicer.

If that's the little blonde lady we met at a match with you once there was a physical resemblance too.

“Show a little class mate” ho ho ho

Ah I remember Julia 😬

Trouble is if they charge £3 for postage and then do not post anything then that’s potentially damaging if someone takes them up on it. If I pay £3 for postage and nothing is posted then I should be due a refund of that £3. They can ask for £3 as a donation if they wish and I can donate if I wish. But that’s not what is going on.

Know what you mean, Trig. Every time we do a journey by train we vow to drive next time and vice versa.

Tell him to do one!

6MDM – you don’t half moan a lot. Is there anything that you think the Club do right?? Of course, it must cost £3 to post out a ticket (admin time, envelope and stamp), but even if the club was “skimming” a little bit, then that boosts our revenue and would be a good thing. You complained that the Club had deliberately decided not to publicise the late kick off for the Bradford game on the basis that they wanted us to spend more – which was somewhat conspiratorial but frankly would have been an excellent business decision; you checked that the over 66 concession would still be available to you for your Centre Block season ticket when you reached that age – they confirmed yes – but frankly why ask? and you openly admit that you spend nothing within the ground. I often wonder why you support the Club when you deny them any sense of financial hope.

The greatest trick Craig Cope ever pulled was convincing our strikers that Layton Stewart existed”

There used to be 2 options (box office collection or post). I always opted for box office collection. Then I'd either pop over one lunch time when I was in the general area or at the next home game. It all worked well. There's no need to tamper with the ticketing system to accommodate what used to be there. Now they have unilaterally removed this option and are trying to blame the host club, which is unfair and untrue. If there are really uncollected tickets that end up getting sent back to the host club, so be it. If it means supporters who opted to collect from Plough Lane then didn't, then tough luck on them. They had the option to have them posted out. The club want people to travel to away games but are making it more inconvenient to do so for no justification other than laziness or profiteering.

Can’t remember the last time I had an away trip without some sort of train disruption as well. The last few caused by “passenger behaviour” delaying connecting trains and the time I got that bloke nicked for assaulting a female member of train staff. I would blame the parents but this guy was older than me.
