It didn’t matter to a lot of them in key positions who are career opportunists or would appear to be imho

trophy winner and clean sheet

sorry mate thought you were having a dig (Stella, red wine and tonight’s disappointment to blame)!! I 100% agree with you.

I am. I received an email from the trust on 25th November advising me of the election process but not advising if any declared candidates (I suppose you could predict certain members would be applying for re-election but surely this should have been set out in [pun intended] black and white). I then received an email yesterday, 9th December, advising of the result. I find the lack of transparency more worrying mate but each to their own.

I feel like there’s something lacking in the process here. The first time I gave read any of the applicant statements was after they’d been shooed in. Now if they were public ally available before then I apologise. But in a democratic process the electorate need to know what they’re voting for. In this case that doesn’t seem to be the case. I think their process, accountability and mandate as fan reps could be improved if statements were published then there was further time for challengers with new ideas / vision to enter the ballot.

but surely it would make sense that those purporting to represent the fans would be eligible for tickets anyway through their loyalty / previous attendance? Or you have people representing the fans who are not really qualified to do so. Quite toryesque really.

why if I may ask? It’s a legitimate leisure pursuit and as the US have proved in the past prohibiting stuff that has a public demand rarely minimises the societal harm. Far better to regulate imho. fwiw I’ll declare I have skin in the game as I work in the online gambling industry.

until recently you’d be breaking the law in most states for betting online as a fan tbf. Sheldon Alderson is a 24 carat wanker. Thankfully the states free market principles are gradually extending to online gambling.

they (FA rules) are not allowed to bet on football. I work within this industry and we’ve had some names who liked the horses snd casino who were key accounts / VIPs,

You would get accused of whataboutery but when they’re banging on about human rights we live in a country that has an official policy to deport asylum seekers to a third country and that country being Rwanda, still suffering from post genocidal ethnic tension. Their outrage is very selective. A significant minority of their fan base openly show vocal opposition to inclusion / support of BAME people. Their targets are obvious and telling.

That was Hardyman if you’re referring to Budgies pen save

It was. Worst refereeing performance v us in memory.

We finished 11th though

i probably know your face mate. When games we had massively restricted numbers like zulte waragem when we only got 650 tickets and you needed 150 + points to stand a chance if getting one I’d say you recognised or were on nodding terms with the vast majority. I think the TF / NUST lot get tickets they’re not really entitled to (honourable exceptions to Thomas, Marc Corby and Greg) You disagree which is fair enough. I also would like the money I sent them get distributed to some local charities and can’t understand what the hold up is. Give it to the west end foodbank ffs. I’m sure there’s nothing amiss but the longer it goes on you begin to wonder..

posh wankers like most of the pseudo hardcore Mackems on RTG. RGS / Kings twats

Aye got a nice house in coxlodge. Might see her in the Jubilee fir a pint soon

I don’t do social media but if you’re telling me that then 2 went to away games 5 year ago fair play. I know most away travellers and I didn’t see them years ago which makes me question how they get tickets. the fact TF says the arsenal game was best home game fir atmosphere ever tells you what you need to know (but I accept I’m an owld fart and an inverse snob). but where’s the cash ? My cash your cash ? They’re power hungry Jonny come lately egg chasing wankers yes I’m bitter . I’ll buy him a pint at our next European away game (probably his first )

Yep never seen Alex or Charlotte at any away game pre 2018.

No idea tbf but they're mainly a load of kids from RGS / Church High with scenty bottle accents

I am a member but this looks like a cabal of jonny come lately public schoolboys who are power mad in my opinion. Did anyone see Alex at an away game 5years ago. Did they fk and I would question how he gets tickets tbf.
