It's a beautiful sunny day, so bonus walk for the dog.
Thing is, it's not on Valley Pass, even for us foreigners, anyway. The FA, you see. Even bigger twats than the EFL. And anyway this lot make me shiver. They are basically Pompey in disguise and that fills me with a special kind of dread going back to my Poly days. Fortunately my best buddy from there is now in Sydney and was on a regular Zoom Thursday, but he obviously had not noticed the tie, so I kept schtuum.
I was going to go until I went online to buy a ticket and saw a transaction charge of £1.50. As a 65+ this is 30% on top of £5 and I would even have to print the ticket.
just got back from a “Drive In” Fireworks display in Cornwall and it was very good. We bought a VIP ticket which enabled us to park our car at the front and give us access to a better selection of street food stalls.
I am not really into fireworks but have to say some on show tonight were amazing and I have never seen patterns like that.
Seemed like thousands were there but the stewards got us out and on our way in good time so all good.
without wanting to bore anybody coz i've made my point a few times now, i'm not going out of protest really i guess - the fa cup games are now nothing but reserve games and that is wrong / sad - until that changes, i'm done with them and promised myself last season or whenever it was that i won't be going to them - i'll be playing poker and then snooker this afternoon instead.
Apologies If I've got the wrong person, but weren't you calling people out a few months ago for being "fairweather supporters" for not buying a season ticket, irrespective of whether they were able to attend matches or not, because everyone should be showing financial commitment to the new owner.
Now you're not going to a first team game when you are able to?
As I said, apologies if that wasn't you, but if it was, then it's quite funny.
it was me and for 40 years i have gone to these games and done my 'duty' but for the last 20 years it has become a chore and it is time to stop and protest - the fa cup should not be an opportunity to play the reserves and if that doesn't change, i won't be going to any more.

Was nothing but first team squad members starting, with 2 youth players brought on late on.
Just admit you couldn't be arsed and be done with it.

Fair enough, but I hope you bought a ticket anyway.

got a season ticket - that's the baseline in my opinion unless u have a good reason no to - buying tickets for reserve matches like the fa cup or anything else like a silly membership or something out of the club shop is optional - in my opinion !!!!

I think the key word in your statement is “squad”, of which we have a pretty average one. Dress it as you like however nine changes were made.

Condolences on your loss Soapy, hope you and the family are as well as can be expected.
But as I now live in the Algarve I wouldn't have been going anyway

Missus is going out. Can't think why.
Fair enough, each to their own, which one are you then, a Winker or a Tiddler ?

Media blackout for me
