The website stuff kind of came across to me that basically if you can't handle it, don't get a season ticket and there will be plenty to take your place anyway. And it's all great to have kids tickets cheap but if a lot of games could be on a school night that's not so splendid.
I'd love to know if the club backed the latest ridiculous TV deal because for all the plethora of fan surveys I don't remember any fan-led consultations. I know it's likely not to be as bad, but last season Leeds Utd had at least 31 games moved from a Saturday 3pm deal and that's with the new Saturation Sports TV contract. Apparently, we get plenty of notice up until March of fixture changes but after that you can go feck yourselves.
Bear with me, but it's a genuine pain to get back just to Cosham on a weekday evening by public transport. Given games kick off at 8pm, there are only 2 trains back to Cosham at final whistle and you have to run to get the first one and both are poxy 4/5 carriages. Don't even go there with the fecking useless buses (only the 2 goes directly back to Cosham).
Whether it's a great season or not, I will be looking closely at this season and the fixtures and if it heads in the direction that I fear that it'll probably be the last one for me and I'll go back to the radio. At the end of the day, Sky now owns the EFL and until enough fans stop subscribing or watching them they will continue to buttf*ck the sport. Sadly, that doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.
Blimey, having read it back I sound very old. But I think I have a point somewhere.
Just move to frogmore Road, innit.
But this is more of a symptom of success unfortunately. The better your team, the higher division you play in and ergo the more jcl coonts will want to watch on telly from their armchair in timbucktoo. It's the cost of success.
