Amazing how no one seen the sending off. Venus not Willis.

I mean I had an excuse; I was updating this forum, but they shouldn't have been distracted

Happened to me before, that, but not today. I said to the steward last time that this is the 3rd time someone has checked my ST and I have only walked about 20 metres.

Problem we have is even if we somehow recruited a 20 goal striker , where are the rest of the goals coming from ?
We have no Jacob Murphy this season
Can't see us staying up

Yes.

Not very enthusiastic. If he spoke like that in the dressing room it's no wonder we're in the shit

Our form in the cups has been great (apart from Norwich) and haven't mirrored our league form at all, mostly because we've been playing lower league opposition. I expect us to progress in both cups even with the poor form we're having at the moment.

Sorry, but the first half against Wycombe was probably the lowest the most abject performance I had seen, since the previous game...

Unlike we get a cracking striker in jan, we are down, simples...

Why, have the club decided that too many "juniors" are being sold and that many fans are scamming them by getting in with kids tickets???

No idea first I've heard of it.

I always assumed the checks at the top of the blocks were to make sure people in the 'premium' zone had premium tickets.

But today it was entering the ground having to show twice which surprised me.

Quite eye opening wasn't it. He was saying that he is expecting to get bombarded with a load of emails now for speaking out publicly about it because he gets them after an SCG meeting if he dares criticises the owners during it. Also said that the minutes are highly edited to say what the owners want and any criticism of the owners is always left out. Sounds like a dictatorship. Someone is probably doing the cutting throat thing in Rays direction as we speak in the style of the dictator.

Well to try and look on the bright side McBean was a massive improvement over Tudgay, although that wasn't hard. Maycock didn't look out of place either.

By the time they took the lead we should have been out of sight, are final ball and finishing is shocking. We didn't seem to know what to do after the sending off, Venus has to take some of the blame for that.

Hard to see where the wins are coming from in the next few games, then its in to the transfer windows and our annual post Xmas slump.

Not sure why people are upset at having to show their tickets, this happens at lots of other events without people being up in arms.

It is the manner of asking v Chesterfield we were checked at the turnstile, my dad gave me his ST to put in my wallet he nipped to the toilet I went to my seat.

I then hear a blokes voice say in an aggressive manner "IF YOU DO NOT SHOW ME YOUR TICKET I WILL HAVE YOU THROWN OUT!", I turned to see this directed at my Dad, he just shrugged and said "go on then" and carried onto joining me at our seat.

The stadiums quarter full, threats of removing fans who have sat in the same seat every season since the Ricoh move (minus 6F year obviously) at a time when there is utter garbage on the pitch really isn't doing the club any favours.

I'm not asking to be carried to my seat but how about either don't talk to the fans unless asked or even better. How about a polite "hello, enjoy the game" ?

I did say to the first guy outside "if you have to take it off me so I can't go in that would be great!" With a smile on my face, he just gave me evils which made me laugh.

Probably repeating earlier posts. Tudgay offered little. Bigi MOM - not for me, that poor effort at goal would have removed that accolade on its own. Missed Rose for his presence when he went off
. A fit Rose for me makes a big difference. It is the centre of our attack (be it one player, or a a partnership), that has to be sorted. Wejust held nothing up in that area, nor offered a threat. And please, somebody remove Bigi from taking set pieces. Can't be that difficult. Burge solid enough, but what was going on with those up and unders (surely he must practice that?)
Rant over - Venus, Fisher out, investment in. Also, positive thoughts to Torchy (see therapy thread)

But lots of people do use kids tickets, I did it the other week (even though I.had mine) just to see if it worked and it was straight in.

Loads of places check tickets, although don't agree with the gobby twat in the post above threatening to throw people out.

I have no issue with my bag being checked either if I have one.

Anything to alienate or antagonise the fans. Like the tiered seat pricing makes a jot of difference anyway. I sit on halfway and it seriously fucks me off having to go in a specific turnstile and then showing the muppet at the top of the stairs every time I go for a piss that I'm not trying to swindle them out of £3 a game. If people are that bothered they'll go up to their normal seat and walk across. It shows how out of touch the wankers are if focussing on something so pathetic is a priority.
