Yeah think I’ll be ok with it.

Excellent, so we won’t run out in October this time and have none for the rest of the season?

Likes a good vape does our Ben, I reckon…

I’ll re-phrase… a lot of the tickets that we do manage to sell.

Sunday being the only day the ticket office is shut, suppose it shows that a lot of tickets are still sold in person…

Derailed… Sunday replacement 🚌 service

No, J*B said repeatedly last season that he doesn’t want to go up.

In what way does it have ‘dignity’?

What are the ‘values of our town’ and how would they be ‘compromised’ by playing in a different division? Empty platitudes. The town of Luton certainly won’t be poorer for the experience. ‘The town’ much enjoyed twenty years of Premier League football from what I remember. And even now ‘small’ clubs are doing fine up there. Odd stuff, J*B…

‘Ewood Park is a jury not a crowd’ 😴 The most sedate place going these days

Yes. He’s done his job.

So just the goal and an assist in a big international away from home then?

Wait until we spend that £12 million 🚀

Jack took us away from the 80s. Go to other stadiums and even now you realise that the new Ewood was built to a superb standard, so how hard is it to give it a jet wash once in a while? Obviously it all comes from the very top, but there has to be an element of blame for those on the ground - where’s the professional pride?

Hmm, dunno. Maybe something called procurement?

None of it is ‘pointless’, of course the attendances and the pitch are far more important than a less pixelated big screen or a nice pint of a local ale. Getting decent players in and competing for promotion is the most important of all. But my point is it all of it adds to a match day for some. A dilapidated, grubby ground nicely sums up how the club is run away from the football side.

Love how John Howarth gets front and centre there. I’d say he’d have got O’Brien through the door… but then we did mess up another pretty big potential deal for a Forest player in his time!

The City extended highlights were supposed to be on Granada that night, some fella called Martin Tyler was commentating. Obviously it was cancelled on that tragic day and put on at about 1am days later. We recorded it and must have watched it dozens of times, as it was rare to get more than an odd snippet of a goal on the local news in those days (maybe part of the round up on Saint ‘n Greavsie if you were lucky!)

Had a few of those Stella’s, bazza? 😁

What?! Who are SSN going to talk to 76 times a day about Klopp’s latest presser now?

We’ve gone around the buoy a million times on by far the biggest issue - ticketing. People have mentioned the piss poor food and drink options. But off the top of my head - fix the tannoys, currently they are either broke or ear splittingly loud. Sort the hilariously bad fanzone big screen out. Have some kits in stock in the club shop later than about fecking October, as you know there is quite a big footfall on a match day… oh and give the place a deep clean! On their own are they massive issues? Not particularly. Am I personally impacted by most of them? Not really. Do they stop me getting caught up in a good game of football and cheering on the team? Also no. But should the club have a bit of professional bloody pride and sort them anyway? Absolutely!

I was talking about a pretty bland tune to have pre a football match, not exactly the La Marseillaise, is it? I wasn’t discussing the merits or otherwise of our constitutional settlement, but ok 😁

Ha no chance they’ll replace Tyler with another dinosaur like For Me Clive. 😁

Considering City didn’t get close to selling out their allocation for the FA Cup semi final I reckon that’s a nice tactical ‘boycott’ from their fans there. 😁

All aboard the Scandì 🚂
