n.b. I should add that i'm flying from Birmingham in September (not a BAA airport) but if I wasn't and there was a strike at the airport I was using my view may be slightly different.

I support this *threat* of strike action because it will not lead to a strike. It will ultimately lead to BAA (a misleading name given it's a Spanish owned company - therefore i say **** em) having to give it's workers a decent pay offer. Even in the current climate a 0% rise in fiscal 09 followed by a 1% rise in fical 10 is measly. It's not the workers fault that this Spanish owned company bit off more than it could chew with it's expansionist spending..

So NickG you are admitting that you are basically talking rubbish. Thanks for clearing that up.

NickG, bournemouth was always going to attract a good crowd due to the fact they are a local team, Bolton on the other hand are about as dreary a draw as there is.

I agree. Without wanting to Labour my gripe with the booking fee/higher prices on the day, these factors will imo lead to a record low gate at some point this season. Things are tough in the current economic climate and football is a luxury expense which combined with the ever increasing logistical expenses will undoubtedly lead to many having to reduce the number of games they attend.

To be honest it's irrelevent to me that they're a Premiership team because they are still Bolton, a club with a mediocre fanbase, so SMS is going to be dead.

I feel sad about ML's passing because he was a nice man.

I was worried when I thought he had no kids because I felt his relatives wouldn't be so keen to honour his dream.

I didn't know Mr Liebherr had a daughter.

Just read through the drivel and i'd like to make it clear i'm disapointed as I wanted to pay my respects to ML, but respect the decision.

FFS, i've just booked Saturday off work and rang the ticket office only to find it's been called off.

What a **** draw against a team with no fans.

Reading have scored so no penalties so hopefully the draw will be in a minute or two.

And some, but not the majority.

after extra time.

Or even just a paver in his memory with all the other fans pavers. He was one of us so I think that'd be fitting.

You should see some of the comments on their messageboard. Most Pompey fans on ther are showing respect though.

I agree. He's a pr1ck.

No thanks, not now because you just know they'd mock ML's death.

The draw is being made soon on SSN.

There's nothing to discuss until we are told what is happening in more detail, and we will be told in more detail, but not today.

I'm pleased they are showing respect.

He's not even cold yet ffs.

Win promotion this season.
