you could use that argument for every item every club in the country sells

Isn't Umbro now Castore, essentially a rebranding exercise as Castore had so many issues with both supply and quality. Not sure I buy that Luton 'rolling over' their Umbro kits is some great gesture to their fans rather than a fuck up with a new kit.

you can still pay on the night though. Unless they've saved loads back for walk ups there's not a whole lot left for POTG and they're not all in one area which is probably why they aren't having cash turnstiles

Same reason we have ROSCOs rather than buying our own rolling stock, same reason there's fuck all development by the TOCs - remember who paid for the station at the stadium. They won't pay for anything that cuts into their profit. So they demand fully qualified and experienced drivers.

Do you not think banning all club sponsors from getting tickets would reduce sponsorship revenues?

Went down a wormhole about this recently and the bigger problem now is unless you want to pay to put yourself through private training its hard to get qualified. The train franchises don't / won't train anywhere near the number of people required to make up the shortfall in drivers. On the...

Its clever from them tbh. People have complained there isn't a supporters club for people who actually live in the city. They've started one up and obv all the events will take place at the Tavern. They already sponsor various things so I doubt its actually cost them as much as if me or you...

Its been like that for years hasn't it? Thought the club said a few years back the supporters clubs got an allocation of away tickets but this was not in excess of the number of season ticket holders they had as members. Why do football fans throw around words like disgrace about something...

But that's probably in single digits. The record high number of people in prison in the UK at any one time is 88K, not sure there's any practical way you could pretty much overnight decide to add to the prison population by 50%. Completely agree that there's little deterrent at the moment but...

The prisons are full. Who are you letting out to create room for this 40K?

Hopefully means you can walk back to the CTK car park without having cars flooring it on the wrong side of the road coming out of Burbages Lane. That was happening at the pre-season games when there were no road closures simply because they couldn't be bothered to follow the correct route and...

We can't even manage to electrify the tracks and don't have enough rolling stock because we're leasing old shit other countries no longer have use for. The chances of investing in driver free trains any time soon seems pretty slim. Also, TfL have driver free trains, they still require a driver...

when's the draw, if I know that I can stop thinking every post is who we've actually got and not some random team

Could be good news for those who use the trains

You can't give up a single ticket because they wouldn't be able to sell it but unless it's happening loads of times a season you could just not use the single ticket. Why not get the kid that is going to give the ticket to one of his mates, problem solved.

Watching the first episode of the second series of Freddie's Field of Dreams. Covers the time when he had his accident. Some of it is a tough watch but the difference in him when he's around cricket is amazing.

Think people have to stop thinking of the commercial side of the club as one person. We've recruited a head of retail and the retail experience has improved. Is it perfect, of course not but its undeniably better than it was. Suspect that in other areas of the commercial operation existing...

Did this used to happen pre-NHS? Going through all the paperwork my Dad left in the loft I've discovered that when he was younger he was treated in a hospital not just paid for but belonging to his workplace, Courtaulds. This would have been at a time the NHS was in its infancy and trying to...

How many business owners do you think class record breaking sales as a failure at all let alone a failure to the point that heads must roll
