Listening to the phone-in over the last week or so I must say I think things are beginning to get a little out of proportion.
Spurs away in the Cup.
Fantastic. Brighton........a club with a well-known floating support who do like a big day out.
6,000 tickets. Some people are going to be disappointed. The writing was on the wall on day one. that this was going to get messy.
I don't disagree that there may be better ways to give the tickets out but I cannot think of one so cannot complain.
I have been in recent years to Canvey Island, Bolton, Oldham, Sudbury, Lincoln, Scunthorpe, all the shitty places where we got dumped out of the Cup..........oh and Leyton Orient.
I was lucky enough to go to the two Cup Final games, the 91 play-off game, Sheff Wed in the semi final, man Utd away in the FA Cup, Liverpool away in the Cup, so I have had some great days out, including the Millenium stadium.
I have counted that I have missed 24 games since 1991. Not a bad effort.
I pay my money for a season ticket because this means that when I piss money away in the first two weeks of a month I can still go an watch my beloved Albion.
No priorities, just easier for me.
Did I apply for the Spurs game? Yes. Did I get a ticket? No. That in my opinion is tough shit.
I cannot afford at this time of year to go and pay a tout 50 quid for a ticket so I will not be going.
To read on here some of (in my opinion) the reaction from some who have not got a ticket is going a little over the top. And then to listen to some of these desperate retards on the phone-in is just agony and shameful.
Harty has done a lot for the club in his own way but that thing now is beginning to sound like some Darby and Jones club. whingin twats who I daresay have watched the club, but instead of ringing in to talk about a manager who has just delivered the best festive results package, in the highest division we have been for years, with players that cost nothing, they want to moan about a f***ing meaningless FA Cup tie at Spurs.
I am sure it will be a great day out and I wish to God I was going. But I am not and that is the end of it. I will though be at Sheff Utd and Cardiff, and I feel these people will probably not.
At a time when nearly 200,000 people have been killed in a diaster and tens of thousands of others a re starving, when we walk past people in doorways starving in our own cities, when there are thousands of children being abused in a 'civilised society' and we, as a planet seem intent destroying each other in the name of god, can we try and keep things in perspective?
I am disappointed not to be going, but my life is not quite so bad. What ever is said on here, it is only a game, and in the small little scheme of our Albion, not a very important one at that ( apart from the cash!).
Come on folks, keep it real!
