    What’s with the trend of ….

    don't really go away these days due to family commitments but thinking back to when I did can't really remember stewards telling people to sit where they want very often. Happened every now and then when we'd be rattling round an empty away end. I can imagine the people who sign off on event...

    WLADITT

    presume it was because sky would have had an advert earlier so they timed it for right up to kick off to get it on there

    Bus Wan**rs

    3 hours max, but the station is £5.50 for weekend parking. They don't do an evening rate so you'd need Grosvenor Road car park or the SkyDome for evening games. If they keep running these wouldn't be a bad idea to add a stop at the park and ride at the memorial.

    What’s with the trend of ….

    Why should that be the case? I can't imagine any safety group or event planner going 'well its football so the rules don't apply. Just let them do what they want and cross your fingers there's no issues'.

    What’s with the trend of ….

    Why does this apply to football but not any other event? I have a group of people I go to gigs with, the group is larger than the usual limit for buying tickets in one transaction so we buy our own tickets and end up sat in different parts of the venue. We meet up pre-gig and post-gig. It...

    What’s with the trend of ….

    You're far from the first person I've heard say that. Just reading through this thread tells you everything you need to know, people who don't give a shit about anybody else's concerns as what they want is the priority over everything. Football must be the only event where you buy an allocated...

    Surely fucking not

    He's going to play after his leg has been amputated? That's a real captain!

    Ben Wilson - well done!

    From outside looking in he seems happy with that and a good guy to have around the squad. Don't think we're going to be in the position to have 2 genuine contenders for the no 1 spot unless we get to the Prem so on that basis I'd have no problem if Robins gives him a new contract to stay here as...

    New Arena still a possibility?

    Really odd, why would you publish that now. Not even like its one old story they've dug up, they've merged two together.

    Cricket 2024

    I’d be looking to start the changes higher up tbh, the people in charge seem more concerned with property development than running a successful cricket club

    Game management

    so what I'm getting from this thread is that everything good that happens is nothing to do with the management & coaching team, everything bad that happens is entirely their fault

    Ex Player Watch

    Our fans are fucking weird sometimes. People were loving it when Mcfadzean came over to us at the Blackburn game last season, a player who had 5 other clubs before us. Yet for some reason showing some appreciation for a player who came through our academy and has gone on to be a top PL player...

    Bertie Hound vs Simms

    Why do people always talk like we have to bin one player off. Can't we be happy to have squad depth, to be able to rotate & rest players, to have cover for injuries?

    Commercial reshuffle

    One place I worked are line manager went on holiday. Without him there we got so far ahead we had to stop working as there was no room left to store stuff waiting to go out to site. We had a more senior manager come down and give us a bollocking. He didn't care that normally it was complete...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Seems like a right wing government grandstanding to its supporters while doing fuck all. The difference between what the party has tweeted out and what is actually happening is huge.

    Commercial reshuffle

    Decent managers don't need to monitor people, they know when people are getting shit done and when people are taking the piss. The more you micro manage people and monitor every little thing they do the more people do the bare minimum.

    Commercial reshuffle

    Just personal experience and I'm sure its not the same in all companies / sectors but the second KPIs were bought in at my last company two things happened. A load of decent, hard working employees left because they didn't like the micro management and the majority of those left did just enough...

    Cricket 2024

    Heard the same about Hain and I have my doubts how long Bethell will be here. If you look at the squad currently you could count on one hand the number of players you'd give a second thought if they moved on so if you start losing any of those handful of players you really need to be making big...

    Spurs Tickets

    There's a school at the end of my road, 5 minutes walk max. I've seen parents opposite me load the kids into the car and drive them to school. They can't even make the excuse they're dropping them off on the way to work as they drive back home afterwards! Takes me 15 - 20 minutes to get out of...
