Around 5000 season ticket holders didnt turn up last night. Normally a business would be asking questions if 50% of its customers didnt attend. The ST should be asking questions about this and not the pointless shit they go on about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted November 24, 2021 Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2021 I think you have to face it that the season is over already, we're a decent side but lack the depth or real quality to push the top of the table. Planning for next season begins. Took me 20 mins to get there over Scout Road. There's not a chance I'm tackling Moss Bank Way at half 6.

Id say its a big issue for the kids who have school the next day. The big issue is why so many people bought a season ticket and didnt turn up? Ko time? Cold? Ifollow? Playing shit? Other?

That's the thing I get having your kid up late isn't ideal (mine would be useless the next day if he was out that late) but that 15 minutes makes knob all difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk have to draw a line somewhere. We used to kick off at 7.30 remember. Getting away from the place isn't particularly quick, and if you're returning to east Lancashire then time can march on.

DazBob Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Regarding a WWays' representation, not sure there'd be any point.

Big E Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I went yesterday. left work at 18:15 and was at the ground for 19:15. earlier kick offs would mean i would have to leave about 17:00 to get there for the same time. sitting in traffic like that is wank as is the closures of the motorways back to liverpool after the game. These are the kind of reasons why it is tempting to finish work at 18:15 go home and watch it online with my tea. makes perfect sense people not being happy with kids being up late. watching online means everyone can be in bed by 22:00.

I'd genuinely be interested to know how you came to that conclusion. Crowd was 12,500 wasnt it? They brought 400 or so? How many STs did we sell in the end?

"Right, Mr/Mrs WWays representative, would Wways like the players to continue kneeling before kick-off?" My point being I'd say we're a fair cross section of support. One or two have a box, some have season tickets all over the ground, some buy as and when, others don't attend any more and others prefer Man U. With an idea of agenda items to pre-discuss we'd be able to say as it is without the sugar-coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, let's pretend we're Spanish and kick off at 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
