Whitey Grandad

I fail to see how pricing me out of a seat I’ve had ever since it was installed counts as an upgrade. Perhaps they think that getting rid of all us old gits is an upgrade.

At that price I wouldn’t need a padded seat, I’d need a padded jacket!

Two seat, my grandson and I.

They’ll soon find out about market price sensitivity.

The only improved experience I’m concerned about is winning more games. There’s a group of us around me that used to sit together in the upper east stand at The Dell. I might give a couple of them a ring and see what they think about it. I can’t see may of us bothering. The thought of paying £105 a game doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest and don’t forget that we’re bound to miss a few games for all sorts of reasons. What the hell were they thinking? Who the hell are these aimed at?

I think the gift of a penalty was the main reason. Ridiculous decision.

We have two seats in block 31 but I haven’t had a letter yet. What annoys me even more is that I took up the choice of leaving my money on account for next year. This seems to me to be misrepresentation. I’m not going to pay 50% more for these seats and I can’t think of anybody who will. What alternative will they offer us if we decline? The best thing would be for all those who currently occupy these seats to refuse to renew.

I know what you mean, I had just about settled for a goalless draw.

You must be thinking of 'swing-balls'

The line up on Sky last night named five games plus 'three others' which leaves two not on Sky. We were not one of the five named but as others have very kindly given the Sky channel on here I can assume that we must be one of the 'also rans'. Arsenal 16:00 Brighton & Hove Albion Aston Villa 16:00 Chelsea Fulham 16:00 Newcastle United Leeds United 16:00 West Bromwich Albion Leicester City 16:00 Tottenham Hotspur Liverpool 16:00 Crystal Palace Manchester City 16:00 Everton Sheffield United 16:00 Burnley West Ham United 16:00 Southampton Wolverhampton Wanderers16:00Manchester United

The terminals are associated with individual airlines and shuffling the aircraft around the airport is not straightforward. There is also the question of airline staff having to operate at different terminals.

There’s a good reason for that.

Quentin Letts writing about Hancock in The Times yesterday about Parliament, “And if the clanking toll of the leprosy collection cart’s bell ever permitted, he hoped that they would “enjoy the new freedoms that we’re thankfully able to give them”. And this is how he really does see it: “new” freedoms, and he is “giving them” to us. You lucky people.“

Not at the moment he isn’t. What was he doing for their goals? Or rather, what was he not doing?

Is that what they call it now? An ex army officer who had been in charge along the border in Cyprus told me that in the married quarters the sign was a box of OMO in the window. It stood for 'Old Man Out'. Allegedly.

He put in a good shift today, a lot of it defensive work that wasn’t in the centre of the picture but effective nevertheless.

A lot of their chances came from shots on target whilst our shots went way over the bar.

Unfortunately the suspicion is that politics and political correctness might be involved.

It’s down to the granularity though. If (!) most of the new positives are in a community that is largely unvaccinated then they won’t get much sympathy from me either. If the new cases are spread evenly throughout the population then that deserves a closer look.

It was a real pleasure to be able to watch a game instead of the heavily processed version we get on the TV. I could see the whole pitch, I could see the runs of players who weren’t on the ball whether they were attacking or defending, I could see what options the defenders had and I could see the reasons why they might not release the ball quickly. The crowd seemed very sparse though and it didn’t help to create much atmosphere.

If the increase in positives is amongst the unvaccinated then why the concern?

We’re below average because of our keepers. Not entirely but it’s part of the problem.

Meh. This season can’t end soon enough for me. First half good, second half bad. Their goals were down the other end from us but they both looked soft. Having looked at them now that I’m back home I thin that McCarthy could have done a lot better with both of them.

We've just got in through the yellow gate. The just checked our tickets for the correct entrance and some were being scanned through but we were let through on a clicker. I hands my driving licence ready but it wasn't needed. 18 year old grandson didn't need ID either.
