Will the moan police let me have my say, or can we only moan if the day doesn't end with a Y? Let's start... - No away fans pub in town so away fans having to go to Wombwell. - Metrodome been closed to away fans - Swimming baths being used for a away match entertainment for a start - people management around the station and town - late trains - no organisation of away fans to get home - no organisation so that people going to Wombwell, Elsecar and Chapeltown get on train - no clear path for people getting off two trains in Barnsley to get out of the station (full of football fans) - grown men doing the actions with the "you've been mauled by the tigers" chant - late trains - no direct football trains - £30 on the club coach to Fulham - the fact I am going to Fulham - no queueing up of away fans out side the station (because the land is an over grown mess because we have better things to spend money on) - that had the third gone in (When they'd hit the post), I'd have left and caught and empty train which as it happened I missed by about 3 minutes. - how difficult is it to organise a ******* one minute ******* silence. [understand people can't hear announcements in some parts of the ground. other people are thick as pig ****] I could write an essay on each. There is probably more. Oh, one last thing. Cauley flaming Woodrow. I don't believe that strikers or goalkeepers should be captains, but I think it's too much for the lad and he's trying too hard and as a consequence he's needed dropping, or certainly subbing in the last few matches. Positives - I'm safe and well. - No issues with car trying to ram us walking out the ground - gates out of the ground were open - the score board started working - you can pay for a pie on contactless inside the ground (And at Oakwell sandwhich shop I discovered on Wednesday) - I had a laugh with @Baka on the way home. That is it.
and the ******* bridge which is ALWAYS CLOSED at 1.5 hours before the match, not an hour as it says on the sign.
The FÙCKING bridge full stop. There's at least another 18 months of this 5hit. What the fùck is wrong with this country.
That was literally the highlight of my day. Some kid looks like Harry Maquire, and so they sang his song!
Away fans can usually get in to pubs in town. I was told today some were in Silkstone Inn. If they are going for a quiet drink and/or meal so not to piss any one off with loud chants then they should be able to drink anywhere. Late trains I know about. The barrier was down at Dodworth around 5:20 because the Barnsley to Huddersfield train was twenty or so minutes late. £30 to Fulham is crazy for a coach journey. Especially when you're still expected to wear a mask on the entire journey. The minute silence being messed up I can only put down to the one brain cell between all the idiots. The announcer was clear as day as to what would happen and some thickos in the crowd still didn't understand. The only positive was here in Huddersfield it was chucking it down, but in Barnsley for the match it was dry and then back in Huddersfield on the way home back in to rain.
Another 18 months? Do you know something we don’t? I was under the impression that the work was starting very soon with construction taking 6 months.
You forgot the continuing charade of the 'staff' on the East Stand bar. At times there were upto 4 of them, all absolutely clueless as to how to serve or add up the cost of two pints.
In fairness, the referee was supposed to blow to signal the start of the minutes silence. I remember thinking to myself at the time, if he's made a mess of that then how's he going to handle the game? In the end, we didn't really need a referee because our players are weak as pi55 and just let Hull have the ball and do whatever they wanted. The only positive for me from yesterday, is that I've just discovered that if you go to the bottom bar in the East stand, you can get a pint of Guinness or Madri and pay for it on your card. We are not worthy.
Also to add to my li I don't think he was. I think the only excuse is the sound system in the Ponty end. ... or morons.
This is so true, and I've never understood why. Take any example of a big project and there is years of planning goes into it, so why is time and money out by soooooo much?
