It really is a superb stadium with great acoustics and for a stadium of that size I felt close enough to the pitch to be involved. Some of the seats in the uppermost tiers did seem quite a long way away though, but I suspect were most cost-effective.

Looks like there will be trouble when loads of pissed up scousers are heading to the new Everton stadium and can’t cross this bridge in numbers because otherwise it’ll break… 🤪🙄😂 [Link]

No RK and the mood from the stadium entertainment team last night was distinctively pro-Mexico and Mexicans.

Can you check then please Martin as I am sure you and others would not wish you to be spreading misinformation?

TBK - when pricing for next season, it has hopefully been borne in mind that, whatever division we are in, we could have an abysmal season and having (one of?) the highest admission prices in L1/L2 would likely see a steep fall in non-ST ticket sales.

Has Trump escorted all the mexican and panamanians back across the border?

OI, I wasn't involved in that discussion. I just assumed my increase was. I could be wrong.

Kite - we probably aren’t too far away from that price behind the South stand… 🤪😉

And to understand if there's been some form of miscommunication.

Imagine the outcry here if we charged the equivalent of $20 a pint of piss

Trigg - the $1 stuff sounds far better 😬🎉

I thought we were told last year that the price rise was not to pay for DT membership. If the claim now is that it was then it would be good to see the working of how prices were increased last year (and this).

JG - when you said “if your soup cans make you feel good and benevolent then thats great” in your illiterate rant from the ivory tower you’ve built on that canal boat, you’re saying they’re my soup cans? I don’t use or volunteer with the excellent DLAG, but you’ve decided (presumably without ever bothering to speak to a single DLAG volunteer on your way into the stadium) that DLAG can fuck right off with its virtue signalling self righteousness - have I got that about right, because that’s certainly how it came across to me…? You’ve come up with a couple of half decent suggestions in recent months, but simultaneously you appear to be on some personal journey that involves despising those in society least able to cope on their own (not everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps when the chips are down in the way that maybe you and/or others have managed to do) AND those willing to give up some of their own time to give a small amount of support to these folk. Maybe you’ve never met someone who has been abused by a partner and is suffering the lowest self esteem imaginable; maybe you’ve never met someone who has served in the armed forces and suffers from severe PTSD and finds even a trip to the local shops to be a traumatic experience; maybe you’ve never met someone who is suicidal following multiple bereavements in a short period of time... Well whoop de do to you if that’s the case, but the fact is there ARE people for whom organisations such as DLAG are a temporary lifeline that can help to lead them towards a more positive future, albeit not necessarily the jet setting boat owning lifestyle that some achieve…. If that all makes me some kind of liberal woke snowflake for not being mercilessly hateful towards these people, then I’m guilty as charged 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

To balance out the $20 a pint the hawkers outside the stadium had a decent selection of Mexican lagers in ice buckets all around the stadium. Went to grab a large Modelo and realised I'd used all but my last dollar bill on buying some other tat, but the lady said that was fine so I bought a pint-can of Modelo for $1 and drank it in the evening sunshine.

Good question DO. I don't have direct access to such things obviously but I expect it was analysed. A huge amount of thought has gone into the new prices for next season which should be announced this week.

They want numbers not actual people. Numbers don't have opinions.

Big game in the CCL Tom night redhill vs afc whytleafe 1st vs 3rd

Trigg - bloody hell, $20 a pint, what are they drinking, imported American beer with a 200% tariff on it? 🤪

TBK - but I suspect many people who bought a stadium card previously at £25 did not renew as Membership, which replaced this, was 100% more expensive at £50. Has anyone reviewed the 2023/4 Stadium Card holders to see how many took out membership for 24/5?

spartan (from earlier) - good point, the poor hounds 🐾

Hi Tom, good to have a chat on Saturday. Shame about the disappointing result. Last year we included DT membership with STs because it was the right thing to do over the longer-term. I'm not going to revisit all the arguments though. My ST increased by £35 to help pay for it.

No one has been able to confirm whether we offer a Blue Light Ticket discount. Someone who sits near me seems to think we do. AI seems to think we do. If so another 10% ticket discount to the police, the armed serives, surgeons firemen etc. Why not go the whole hog and give discounts to anyone who works in the public sector? Or is a cartel member (sorry i meant union); and whilst we're about it lets give handouts to reformed convicts and minority religions - or anyone who spends more than 25 nights a year on a barge!

Good question RK. Obviously being English/British I've always been keen to tell fans where to stick their Mexican waves when doing them at football matches. But last night, with the ground pretty much 95% Mexican fans, there was indeed a Mexican wave and I found myself joining in because otherwise it would have felt disrepectful to their culture.

Did they do a mexican wave Trigs?

Yeah bad day at the office for sure.
