    If boxing was in a good way this wouldn't have been allowed to get as popular as it has. Some of the blame must be directed towards the other circus in town which is the current Heavyweight champion. He's been encouraged to make an absolute mockery of a serious sport unchallenged by the boards of control.

    Will be easy to find another club for him if he’s half as good as some of the comments on here make him out to be. 
    We shall see, had a good first few games for us but I can’t remember another game where I’ve walked away from the ground thinking he stood out. 
    I think we have better players than him, a backup player, offload him and his wages.

    Can't see Wilder not winning this and fairly early on. Fury isn't ready for this, he's lost too much weight in such a short space of time and hasn't had enough warm up fights. I don't rate Wilder at all, but Fury is toast in this one. He'll run out of energy and wont be able to dodge the onslaught once Wilder gets a shot in. One thing Wilder does well is finish once he has connected.

    I'm heading over to Bristol today for a pee up and over nighter, got a BB booked near the Waterfront and would like to watch this later on tonight. Any locals on here who would know a place in town that will be showing this card.

    Evolution not revolution? Their fans have never gone through the former and are too pathetic to attempt the latter.

    Can you imagine the City fans putting up with a circus act chairman like this, we wont even put up with a cold pasty without storming the ground and demanding resignations.

    Massive difference between the clubs, they'll put up with anything and everything until it's miles too late. There's not even a whimper from them. Just highlights the massive difference of expectations between the two clubs fans, our club are never in any doubt what we expect from them, while they will just roll over and be led.

    Noticed amongst the doom n gloom on Sagchat this post from one of their more sensible posters

    Sort of sums up the huge gap between us in terms of match day enjoyment 

    How fortunate we are

    Almost (I said almost) feel sorry for him

    :yawn:

     

    It has been a bit of a chore this season and I've had my doubts about getting a ST next year.  

    You are right, it's not really even about the football. It's about the match day experience.  

    As I walk in the Mem gates I see 2 poor ladies stood wet and freezing selling programmes in all weather.

    I make my way towards the Clubhouse bar where if I'm lucky I can fight my way past 100 smokers to squeeze into a tiny toilet for a quick wazz.

    I take a look at the queue for the bar which stretches back to the door and don't even bother. Maybe I could stand outside in the wind and rain and buy one from the back of a horse box? On second thoughts....

    I then think about having a browse in the club shop before I realize that it's inside a part of the ground I can't access after 2pm. And even when I'm early its tiny entrance allows for one person in or out at at a time. Then there is no where to try anything on. Not that they have any stock of anything you'd want. Especially just before Xmas.

    So I make my way over to the Young Pirates cabin. Occasionally I will buy some sweets for HTY, but normally I just put his name in the draw ticket box in the hope he wins the chance to be the mascot. To be honest I try not to spend too long in the YP cabin, it really smells bad.

    Once I've done that I make my way down through the turnstile that is so small I have to lift my rucksack over my head to get through and make my way down to the tent end.

    Oh, what's that? It's another trailer outside in the rain where I can buy a beer.....nah, you're alright.

    Next stop, the pasty hut. During my 20 minute wait behind 10 people I look at the posters on the doors. Ooh look. Pie of the day is Turkey and Cranberry. That sounds nice.  

    When I eventually get to the front of the queue I am greeted by a young person who is on their first day. (No joke, we have had a new staff member in the SS pasty hut nearly every single week). They inform me that they do not actually have any of the pies advertised and they proceed to list all the food they have this week. Just like the vendor, it seems we have to have new pies every week at the pasty hut too. God only knows why we can't just make a decision on what food to sell.  

    So, I order my pie and more in hope than anything else I ask what the Meal Deal options are. We all know it's out of date cheese and onion crisps and a twix. They never have anything else anymore. I politely decline and then help the server add up the cost of 2 pies and a tea before then helping them work out the change from a tenner.

    I then make my way to sit in a lovely prefab tent, that's windy and freezing bloody cold all year round.

    Now I come to think about it, what's not to like? When can I renew my Season Ticket again?

    These things take time.
