[Albion] Reimburse Albion fans at Luton

[Invicta]

I can't go back that far, but I don't think Crumplin, Rust etc were multi millionaires. They had to get careers after football.
As far as I recall, fans aren't paid to be there, yet they are quickly criticised for being too quiet etc etc. Anyone with even a slight showing of frustration is ridiculed. Only those with 100% positive words are super fans, respect to you that won't have a bad word said.
I hadn't realised having to worship the players makes a super fan.
I was there during the depressing Goldstone & Gillingham days, players being paid peanuts.
The players were woeful tonight, those poor buggers that travelled and getting up for work tomorrow.
I don't recall saying I'd ask for a refund - the players saying not good enough, here's a token gesture for a few beers on us at the Amex.

Never said I was a super fan, just found it funny. Trench humour and all that. No offence meant.

Tend to think that this bunch of millionaires are repaying me for some of the seasons I have endured in the past.

Cheers.
Some of the personal attacks make your eyes open wide. I should've read the terms & disclaimers in more detail.
Fingers crossed for Saturday.
I will keep hold of my bar receipts I'm case we lose.

I really like the idea of a club that won't refund your ticket if you can't go suddenly being generous enough to refund those that do.

I've seen clubs (well players) reimburse fans after woeful performance.
Tonight's game has been truly awful.
It would be a nice gesture if these millionaires were to reimburse those far more loyal than me the cost of their ticket and expenses.
An apology at the very least, they should be embarrassed.
The fans get behind the team week in week out, spending hard earned money, now to give something back!
Perhaps the bonding session should be somewhere the working man can afford next year.

Can they pay for my anti-virus after watching the illegal stream?

 

[Bozza]

We’ve got five loyalty points. That’s reward enough.

 

[Cotton Socks]

Thanks. To be fair, going back to the Goldstone and Gillingam days, the thought never crossed my mind.
It is the crazy money it football, and fact working folk are struggling.
I guess I'm looking it into the context of affordability & don't accept the silly money these guys earn and there should be some giving back.
I've gone from the right to the left as I've got older and wiser.
Thanks for the comment.

You don't have to go!! It's a game of football, there are no guarantees it's going to be what your expectations of a 'good game' is. I actually don't mind if we lose as long we give it a good go. No idea what happened tonight and I'm not suggesting we gave it a good go because it was a shambles. Going to matches is bloody expensive but it's a lottery of whether you're going to see a good game or a bad game, we haven't had a bad game like that for a long time. The players are actually humans, yes they'll get paid their stupid money win, lose or draw but they're probably just as p**sed off as what we are.
I'm saying this as someone who doesn't go to many matches as the cost is prohibitive,

My friend was going to ask that as well!

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

We disagree - which obviously is fine.

I (and I'm sure you as well) would much rather have a response on Saturday over a token gesture tomorrow.

Spot on. Yes, I do agree 100%.

 

[ozzygull]

Don’t be a wet wipe. We have no right to beat any team, when you go away you have to except that games like this are going to happen from time to time.

 

[brighton_dave]

Fair point.
Respect to you that go home and away.

Yep very expensive. I am lucky enough to afford it, but stopped as could not justify it. £125 for 3 of us to watch the ladies team for a season instead.
It all boils back down to the silly millions and fan base I see as being priced out, that's my issue, hence some giving back would be kind.
I know I'm in dreamland....

If ya reading this Dunky, peas buy all of the Albion attendees of tonight's capitulation a new motor.

Ya know it makes since...sorta fing!

Grow up, and change your bedsheets too

I heard this on the radio and I think the presenters were trying not to laugh always painful to pay out and the pain of travel and so on but we've all been there at some point some more than others thats football - the players dont try and lose a game!

I'm warming to you, with your sensible posts. Who expected that?

 

[jackalbion]

I’m on tick until payday, so for purely selfish reasons, I hope the club refund us, it’s a disgrace they don’t, etc etc etc. My bank charges on the overdraft, don’t they know.

 

[London Irish]

I hope Luton fans don’t find this thread, they’ll collapse with laughter. Their team was really good tonight and given some of our current deficiencies and the open way we will play come what may, that we take beatings every now and then has to be factored in.

Every football fan wants an attacking manager but only a cohort of them walk the walk about what that might actually mean on occasions
