The club totally disregard the devotion of fans like you and your family, and time effort and money you spend. Infuriates me. Good on you

It's all part of the same theme - club and authorities taking fans for granted. Guarantee tv will have a go at fans for not supporting the side, as per recent comments, oblivious of their central role

Not surprised

Same story for so many loyal fans. Saturday night kick off, team not sparking, I don't blame fans for opting out.

They will start removing STs from fans who don't go often enough, I reckon, but they have already got our money so I wonder if they perceive pressure to offer more for members rather than charge ST holders.

Ah but it's an artisan sausage roll so we should be grateful
November 29, 2025 at 12:53 PM
I should add that the club don't care because they have the cash from TV and ST holders who aren't going but have put seats on the exchange

Not with thighs like mine. Lead me to this retail nirvana

My grief runs parallel to the rest of life. I don't forget, don't want to, always there and it intrudes sometimes more often and hard than others. But it enables me to manage. Coping is good. All the best

Thanks for this, feel for you. Everybody's different (radical insight there) so f**k you is a legit response to this, but my experience - sorting helps. You write, talking too. Loss lingers but that's ok, shows you care. Never lose capacity to feel and that can hurt. But find a safe place for pain

Chuckling through this week's episode. Irresistibly funny

To illustrate how disingenuous this campaign is

“85% have made payments to get better cars” does *not* mean “85% have bought Beamers”. Most people don’t lease Beamers with the scheme. The extra payments are adaptations to allow disabled people to use the cars, wheelchair hoists for eg

Agree completely. Whole thing fits the narrative about benefits for disabled people being a scam. We paid extra for my wife's Kona via Motability for adaptations and for a slightly higher spec with more safety features. Motability cars aren't free - around £300 per month. Her benefits, her choice

Looks serious. Just hope they can clear that water off the pitch before kick-off

I think they are both owned by Reach publications, a big player over here for papers and online news coverage

This new regime needs to be careful it doesn’t end up looking like the old regime. Clubs shouldn’t be putting this stuff anywhere near fans. @uglygame.bsky.social has done the research.

Given that both deals are over a year old, and we haven't done stuff like that before, I thought that it was an interesting (unwelcome) development

Bruce and Bobby Jean, although that was written as a farewell (premature) to Steve van Zandt, a happy memories break up if you will, and Bonnie Raitt's version of I Can't Make You Love Me, also an entrant in most heartbreaking song ever.

Is that the place near the Globe?
