Thinking back on it, I’ve been to roughly half the league grounds (at least the old ones) and I’ve only come a cropper once. Ironically, that was at Fratton Park! I was living in Wales at the time and a game was cancelled (memory says it was against Huddersfield) because the pitch was frozen in front of the South stand. The rest of the ground was fine but because of the shadow……..
It was a lovely sunny day IIRC. Couldn’t bloody believe it
Did I fuck as like get compensation. We must have had shit owners then too.
You say ‘it’s the modern world. A compensation culture’ as if that’s a good thing Cunning.
Life is full of risks, and this idea that people should be compensated for every little thing is ruining life. A risk averse compensation culture is a more expensive, less enjoyable, culture. Another thing we have inherited from the Yanks that makes life worse, not better.
This idea that it’s always somebody’s fault and that any mistake or slight error of judgement should lead to financial penalty is moronic and corrosive.
