    Mentioned before that we're seeing managed decline of the Blast to clear the way for the Hundred but that's nothing compared to the Metro Bank. Quarter Finals were on Friday, semi-finals today which obviously doesn't give much time for people to make plans or for counties to sell tickets...

    Ex Player Watch

    You can't really tell from that tbh. When did 'never step foot on a pitch again' become the go to? See it regularly now. You'd need some pretty strong evidence of intent to injure to be talking about life bans.

    Why didn't the ref or lino do anything about this?

    I get that these days it's a fast game and officials will miss stuff and mistakes will be made. What gets me is how regularly there's things that every person in the ground can see but the officials. It gets to the point you start doubting yourself but then you see it back and it confirms what...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Have you just seen the same tweet from JBM that I have 😂

    The CBS!

    I would have been 12 when I started going. Used to get the bus into town in the morning and go to Cov baths, then chips at Fishy Moores before walking up to the ground. Would walk back into town after the game and get the bus home. Be out the house from probably 9am until about 7pm, assuming I...

    Not supportive of treating pedestrians like children in the slightest, well I guess some of them are literally children. If pedestrians are acting like idiots then I will happily call them idiots but at the same time I'm not particularly keen on seeing any of our supporters seriously injured or...

    who do you think is going to complain? won't be any businesses on the arena park, any business moving in there will fully expect people to avoid the area when matches are taking place irrespective of road closures. can't think of many businesses that would be impacted.

    Replays?

    Technical issues last night, seems the live feed died.

    they've tried policing the crossing points and it has pretty much zero effect and doesn't help with people trying to drive as fast as they possibly can on the roundabout. There's also a problem that the other side of Jimmy Hill Way / Hen Lane / Winding House Lane. When the road is open they...

    Parking

    It was, I believe, deliberate because there was a 'green travel plan' which had to be in place for all major events. I seem to recall the original plan involved a shuttle train which obviously never happened but there was initially buses from all over the city to games as well as park and ride...

    Slightly concerned that they have massively oversold season tickets. It’s been rammed even for the pre-season games and they still have season tickets on sale. As you say when the weather turns it will be an absolute nightmare if they still try and use the pitches, not to mention they will be...

    Can't quite work out why they've netted off the first few rows of one of the away blocks but not bothered with the other away blocks.

    What doesn't make sense to me is loads of clubs around the country but on bus services, park and ride etc yet whenever it's suggested for us we get a response that it will lose a fortune. How come everyone else can manage it but it's not viable for us?

    The franchise that operate the line don't have the rolling stock capacity for additional match day services. The stripey bastards tried paying for a running a match day service themselves and, like with most things they did, it lost a fortune. Worth revisiting maybe but until the lines...

    Your options are the club store, the East Stand kiosk or the sellers outside the ground, I walk past three kiosks outside the ground coming from the other side so it would be strange if there's none coming from the side you're coming from. I believe they did trial having programs available from...

    The CBS!

    I'm 99.9% certain it's under 14s that can't go in unaccompanied because that was the rationale for no longer giving free carers tickets to accompany under 14s. The stewards were def on the case last night. Never seen them check everyone coming through is coming in on the right ticket but they...

    They've got greedy and taken way more bookings than the site can cope with. If that keep that up it will be absolute carnage when the weather turns, be cars getting stuck all over the place. Also doesn't help that everyone thinks they're more important than everyone else and don't need to join...

    Metro Bank fever! Speaking of which a friend of mine, well friend of a friend, works on socials for another county. They were commanded from on high to stop posting so much about the Metro Bank fever as it was getting too popular on twitter 🤦‍♂️
