True alas, a 50 quid note would've given off a bit more heat.

It seems that higher education doesn't ensure humility, empathy, compassion or or even consideration for anyone less well off.

Very much this. Put yourself in their position and imagine the pain, suffering and frustration they've endured over the years and it's easy to understand the decision. If it had happened to our club we would feel just as strongly about the travesty.

The "handful of fans" was a reference to those on here fretting about the decision, not the numbers or percentage involved. Perhaps I should have used posters not fans.

Of course people outside the club can comment. My comment was about the quality of that comment, in your case lamentably poor.

Thank you for your frogs idiom; I think you're a bit slow on the uptake so let's try to keep this simple. I'm suggesting that the club has a large range of priorities to consider and balance, most of which you're not aware. One of many will be the impact of away support. You're naively...

Isn't it so easy to sit on the very periphery and snipe at the odd anomaly, particularly when you can only possibly grasp a partial picture and possess little imagination, limited perspective, and are pushing a specific agenda. Oh, of course, as you say, other priorities.

I'd hazard a guess that the club's perspective & priorities may not be the same as a handful of fans fretting about the balance of the home to away allocation.

Who's we?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Massive! :lolol:

I suppose the club needs to balance maximising total ticket sale income with keeping enough tickets for home fans. I don't know how far in advance we had to let Newcastle know how many tickets they'd receive. (or come to that, how many bargain £10 tickets we've shifted for the Burton game).

Edited for you

Well, it's patently obvious that you do. All those hours spent on your greatest rival's (football) board....

Excellent read, thanks. I knew he was a passionate player for us but hadn't appreciated how intelligent and articulate he is or that he's integrated so well into English life.

Go to bed.
