Exeter was bob last season, i'd avoid tbh.

All this talk of the prices being too expensive is bull:censored:. Perhaps if you're unemployed and on income support then yes. But otherwise I think it's just a front for the real reasons of basically not being arsed.

 

Most of the people who are whinging about cost are probably the same ones who pay £50 plus for Sky sports every month. The same people who think nothing of pissing £50-£100 up the wall every Friday/Saturday or smoke 20 day. The cinema is a tenner to get in these days. Plus a drink, popcorn etc, you've little change from £20.

 

The point is, it's all about your priorities. If getting leathered every weekend is you thing, thats fine, but don't try and tell me that £20 for Latics is too expensive. In the majority of cases, it's just that you're not arsed.

Exactamon. Said the same last week, mi amigo said 20 quid's too dear to watch third div football, to which i replied it is, but you'll be quite happy to spend 20 quid after the game on a few beers without a second thought, it seems ppl just don't wanna go anymore and will give any reason they can, but i appreciate that because as earlier mentioned, the grounds a sh1thole that doesn't make you want to attend and i agree, but i'd say try n forget that and come and watch the footy that's on offer coz i believe it's worth paying to watch this team and i haven't said that for a few years.

It is cost and the crap stadium. I got a student pass on Saturday (at a cost of £13, which is a rip off if students are only back a couple of weekends a year). With the student pass it costs me eleven pounds in. Now on Saturday I ended up paying more than I would for an adult price, but thought it better in the long run. I walked out at half time because I was completely bored, by the football, the lack of atmosphere and the overall depressingness of sitting in BP. If I hadnt been able to get a student ticket, I definately wouldnt have gone. And I am now struggling to want to spend any more of my money, even at student rates. Im likely only to go to "big" games now (ie Sheff Weds, Huddersfield).

 

I used to enjoy the Lookers stand, at least it had some atmosphere unlike the Rocky Road end where kids sing stupid songs and think they are in Football Factory, the Main Stand where most would be better suited on Antiques Roadshow and the Chaddy End with its nice view of Steel Stanchions.

 

A new stadium is the only time I will consider spending £20 to get in Latics. And if Im honest, the 3 games I have seen Latics play in this year, I havent seen any major step up in quality or class on the pitch since Penney was here last year.

I see where your coming from and I had the same opinion last year, you wouldn't sniff me going coz i hated it, been to two games this season in GH paddock and GH upper and really enjoyed both games and can't wait for the next home game, i'd perservere if i was you, av enjoyed watching a young hungry team battle away to get points from games we wouldn't have done under penney (b rovers and bournemouth). agree with the sentiments about the Rocky/chaddy though so can see why you've got this opinion about going to games.

Boxing Day isn't a religious day.

it is in our house, we pray to the great Casius and the grill king George all day

Semantics, Christians also play on Easter.

 

The point I was making was that Christian players are asked to play on significant days to Christians and I'd say that any Muslim players in the League would have been expected to play through Ramadan/Eid last week (aside from the International break). Further to this point; what I was trying to highlight was that in the modern world there's little need to observe these archaic traditions.

I agree with this, i'm turning up on sat and paying me entrance fee i would like to see the best team possible out there tbh! Just like i'd expect on Boxing Day!

Wife's just been and got mine for me - oh and Cheers O4U for the spare token!

Anyone else got a spare token...got 3, had the others swiped off my desk at work , won't be back on't tinternet until Monday now but if anyone can help if they could msg me then thanks a million.

195 away hartlepool fans at st. marys yesterday, apparently a record - lowest number of visiting supporters at st. mary's.

will we 'beat' it??? at least there's one record we're on for this year

Marcus visits his kids who live with his ex partner in Denshaw, simple really. His kids go to Rishworth. Thats probabbly why you see him about and his ex lived on Carlton Way so quite possibly at grans to pick up kids close to BP. He did want a move up here but a while back. Hes big mates with David Beresford who works with my dad.

oooopppss my bad, case of 2 + 2 = 5.

as i say there's no foundation to it, just got a text saying have we signed marcus stewart, i said i hope not why? and the reply was they they'd just seen him in oldham, just though it was funny because it's believable, unless i'm just gullable!!!

Heard he's the striker we're after, absolutely no source except an apparent sighting.
