East Londoner

Or banning them from flying halfway round the world to play friendlies

I ordered mine on the first day and it arrived at the weekend

The catalyst for how modern football became with its shiny new grounds and the premier league, just a shame people had to lose their lives RIP to the 97

We’ve had these boring and predictable eras before with the Schumacher years and many would argue the Hamilton years despite him having more competition It won’t last forever

Tbf you didn’t miss much, not saying it was boring but i did two weeks worth of ironing while it was on

I did spot an unfortunate typo, someone called Brian spelt Brain

Maybe it’s me but would’ve liked to see a picture of the people too so i could put a face to the name I did spot one nice moment in the south stand of a family who were recording for when it was their loved one’s turn and then they all embraced which was quite touching

I remember when we played Brighton when they thought they were going to win the league they did this and thought it was a far classier way of doing it then some muted minutes applause every few games Think Brighton did theirs pre match as well so it didn’t feel rushed

Whilst i feel your pain I’m not sure there’s any realistic way to reward fans for travelling a long distance to attend home game, the only thing they could realistically do is to offer a flexible season ticket or a Saturday only season ticket and make it for a section of the ground rather than a specific seat and offer the same benefits of a full season ticket As for away games, there is a lot the club could do. Ranging from an away season ticket where you’re guaranteed a ticket for every away game to a points system where the unpopular games like Blackburn away on a Tuesday night get more points than a Saturday trip to QPR and then if a ‘glamour’ game comes along it’s those with the highest number of points who get first chance of getting a ticket

Lumo operate between London Newcastle and Edinburgh and are open access so not involved in industrial action

For those travelling from London. Grand Central operate from Kings Cross to Sunderland and are not part of industrial action due to being an open access operator They only run a few trains though so you’d need to take the 0748 from Kings Cross and the 1730 back

In fairness there’s threads have appeared this time of the season for the last few years and most end up doing so because of a fear of missing out should we finally get our act together Maybe the new tv deal will have an effect and whilst I’d like to think the club might be creative and offer flexible season tickets i doubt they will I won’t be renewing more due to personal circumstances, work commitments meaning I’ve missed more games than I’ve attended and the 3 hour each way journey just to be bored like i was yesterday

A couple of good one they missed out which are on sky documentaries. Kenny and Howard’s Way Both Merseyside related but well done

He wasn’t interested in coming here so no point getting hung up about it We do need someone in that mould though who’s mobile

The current situation seems to have been of his making, starting with getting rid of Pearson and being responsible for his replacement Has very clearly been over promoted and has the ear of the chairman which is a potentially dangerous combination
