Been in discussion with fans around me lately about all the niggly annoying things about the modern matchday experience. Some you may like some you may not but here are a few they have been throwing up.
Having to queue for tickets with 13000 empty seats.
Ticket offices closed on some match nights.
Loud fanfares of music crushing any chances of an atmosphere building up.
Bright advertising boards.
Stupid coloured players boots.
Players shirts not tucked in.
Substitutes warming up throughout game.
Drinks breaks at any opportunity.
Smoking ban outside.
The numbers of coaching and backroom staff.
Coaches with lap tops or tactic boards instructing players.
Silly little running exercises after half time.
Watering piss wet through pitches.
Plus many more I cant remember.
Can you imagine how the modern day would cope with Harry Lyon, Bobby Todd, John King or Bobby Cambell.So bascially you want the 1970s?
More to the point, how would Harry Lyon, Bobby Todd, John King or Bobby Cambell cope with the modern game?
No I wouldn’t want the 70s but none of the above things listed do anything to enhance the matchday experience for me and many who sit around me. I bet those mentioned players must piss themselves looking at this stage managed Americanised version of football we have now. Ra Ra Ra.
Oh and another.. Being forced to sit down at matches (shite) Mind you the direction Uwe is taking us there will be ample oppurtunities to stand up next season at away games.Having to queue for tickets with 13000 empty seats.
Stupid coloured players boots.
Watering piss wet through pitches.Those annoy me. I would also add:
Players wearing short sleeved shirts and gloves.

Oh and another.. Being forced to sit down at matches (shite) Mind you the direction Uwe is taking us there will be ample oppurtunities to stand up next season at away games.I doubt it.
The Americanised Ra Ra Ra game now means there’s enough money coming into it that the players can retire as millionaires instead of becoming taxi drivers or pub landlords.
And trust me when I tell you, bar the loud music, none of those other things are aimed at enhancing your matchday experience.
So to make your match day experience better you suggest we ruin others by allowing smoking, thank god the law supports smoking bans, best thing that ever happened banning smoking in public places.
The bans/restrictions in smoking laws was one of the reasons I decided to quit and it was the best decision of my life when I did.

I suspect there’s very little that would meet with the pleasure of our 4-4-2 loving friend ;)Made you an miserabloe twohat though lmb Not content with stalking me on Vital then GT1978, you know nothing about me whatsoever whereas I know you was an insignificant nomark weasel all though your John Fisher schooling, and nothing seems to have changed.
I have at least the courage not to hide anonymously and feel the need to use different user names on other message boards.

So he stalks you but knows nothing about you, yet you know all about him?
You’ll have to explain that one to me.

:lol: :lol: :lol: the mons confused I would wager an paranoid deluded idiot
Anyway, back to the OP topic..
Ballboys that actually do the job they’re supposed to do.
Old fashioned photographers (at springfield park) with just an umbrella for protection behind the goal being pelted by snowballs.
Not being able to walk down to t’other end at half time.
People who *stand in the exact same place in the **concourse, give and take an inch, before the game and at HT. :ohmy:
*add facing the same direction.
**change this to “pub” before game were necessary.
I bet that applies to 97% of us. :woohoo:
From Matlock to ManU

Political correctness destroying lively banter.
