deyres42 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Indeed. But such a simple thing for Latics to "fix", at next to no cost, that would see an increase in the money spent at the ground. I've never been to a gig/match/whatever expecting the food and drink to be much cop, not in the cheap seats anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't it been mentioned somewhere before that there will be more made available in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 At half-time last night a woman, who was getting wet in the North Stand, said she had sat in the Stand on that side of the ground regularly for 33 years and only been wet once. Surely that was when Redfearns penalty went in against Sheff Wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the notorious occasion against Millwall, when the wind-blown rain reached even the back row of the Chaddy End. Time will tell whether last night's wet seats in the North Stand was a rarity or the first of many. She's lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I certainly got very wet at the back of the Lookers in the 6-0 v West Ham. Wasn't that fussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aarondo Westy Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 If you are going out in weather like last night to a football game where none of the stands are connected expecting not to get wet. Lower them expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsChris Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 She's lying. She is. I had a season ticket in there on the back row from 2001 onwards and even in that small time I don't think I could count the times I got wet on all my fingers and toes. Granted I've got Yorkshire blood so that's only 16, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I got through about 4 pints of Bovril that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not having that..... I sat on row F of the lookersstand for a decade and often got wet when it rained...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The smooth is cold piss and the carlsberg cold sweet piss. Why can't we have a decent drink? Only paid £5 for parking because of weather and stood on what looked like solid ground only to sink in up to my ankle. A good start - one has to walk round against the flow of incoming cars. I understand that the staff working the kiosk could be new to the job but how much time do they need? The hot water dispenser simply stopped dispensing - broken on its third outing. The view is however the best I have ever had at Boundary Park. There are clearly serious financial constraints slowing down progress. The North Stand seating is completely open to the weather so that I can now see row H is going to get wet if it rains. Wonder if Sports Direct do a blue poncho. 'There are clearly serious financial constraints slowing down progress.' We haven't had a progress report for a while, is that because there hasn't been any? The way the whole development has been managed has been a complete and utter shambles. We're getting close to Christmas now and there are going to be some extremely pissed off customers to deal with very soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame Latics for getting into bed with JW lees again. Always go on bottles whenever I enter their overpriced pubs. Stuck with cat piss csrlsberg and more cat piss with original lager.

Don't tend to drink cask ale but was charged 3.30 in the Derby tup on Saturday for one so 2.60 doesn't seem to bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
