The implication that I don’t think the players need or appreciate away support — a claim I never got close to making or even hinting at. Do I particularly appreciate the efforts of people travelling to Bournemouth? My emotion is more akin to envy at having enough points to go, rather than congratulation TBH. It’s one I always earmark but never get close to qualifying for. It sells out to the top tier of ST holders.
After we were reduced to 10 men I was more concerned that they were going to raise their game and Storm Bart by raining shots on him in the hazardous playing conditions.
I think you had better put me or the thread on ignore - me expressing my feelings of gratitude for fans who are able to give the club the sort of support I can not seems to be offending you or pushing some buttons for you.
Accept that gratitude may not be the only emotion available for local away games. ‘Lucky people’ is more my response. Tempered with an acknowledgement that in order to get into the top tier of STH points someone needs to have put the money and hard yards into travelling away over a number of years. More than I’ve been able to do. Good luck to them.I think you had better put me or the thread on ignore - my feelings of gratitude for fans who are able to give the club the sort of support I can not is clearly offending you or pushing some buttons for you.
Go to bed
oh dear - I simply made a thread to express my personal gratitude for the fans who attend away games - it is what I felt and what I chose to express and post on NSC for personal reasons.
Agree…….driving conditions were particularly grim on the way back (drier than expected going down tbf) but pretty much everyone on the road was being sensible surprisingly. Luckily traffic wasn’t heavy.
To be fair, it’s a bit more than just a few spots of rain.
It's funny you say that Harry, because I've done the drive to Carlisle (2-0 down very quickly, jeez what am I doing here?) and nearly got refused entry at Barnsley's Oakwell ground, not Rotherham, from approaching the turn style on said hands and knees as was hammered and just glad I'd got there after a massive hike up a large steep hill from the pub to the ground.
Drivin' to t'Carlisle?
You were lucky.
I crawled on me 'ands and knees to Rotherham. Old stadium
It’s Bournemouth, so any patrons under the age of 60 for some pubs will be ‘high risk’
Truth is beauty and beauty is truth.Thank you Bry - Just noticed I’d given us a clean sheet - Was it over exuberance on my part or a typo because I’m half asleep - I’ll never know.
To be fair, Zeb lives in East Anglia. That's more than a thousand miles from B'muff.All the way to Bournemouth
We took a wrong turning coming out of the stadium to get back to Pokesdown station. Ended up next to a cemetery, it was pitch black, very windy and chucking it down - shades of The Omen. It was enough to put the willies up you. Wooo! Wooo!
100 miles is hardly 'local'. Add in the bad weather and the replacement buses ...
