It seems that you are currently paying out just short of £1200 a month for your website. Would it be possible to advise who does this for you? Thanks Asked them. Lets see if they reply.

Making fans walk anti clockwise after games. Cashless operations. Theres plenty really. But if you think the ST will make a stand for anything like that you're on crack. Its a completely pointless operation and they've a cheek charging folk. A nice cozy gaggle of self elected cronies trying to gain a bit of prestige and power is all it is.

Going cashless is just a fact of modern life, and it's currently just a "move towards" cashless, not totally cashless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 11 year olds season ticket is two blocks away and has to enter a different turnstile. That aside, we shall see if we carry on getting treated like animals once the season starts. Going cashless maybe a fact of modern life, but you asked for a grievance so I gave you one Like I say, if email the ST and say can you please let the club know Id like not to he treated like a 1980s hooligan every home game and Id also like to spend money printed by the bank of England, they'd close the tab immediately and carry on browsing adult works. Its fuckin pointless. ...lets not forget we've seen it all before with various supporters clubs. And just take a look and the calibre of those involved. Its like Jacob Reece Mogg representing some coal miners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, his initial ticket was near North Stand. The closest I could move him to was two blocks away. No new season tickets in our block whatever the circumstance.

I was obviously mistaken. If there are seats available, surely they can move him nearer to you? I agree that this is an issue that needs taking to the top. Obviously he'll be sitting as close to you as possible "unofficially", but really poor from the Club. The sort of thing I thought the ticket office would have sorted out in no time.

Traf Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 So, the Trust made 2,500 from an event that cost 2,200 to host? Why the fuck bother? Why/how have they got creditors with nearly 50k in the bank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the ST was originally put in place to make the owners accountable to much more serious issues. Like I said before, its all fine at the min and them questioning stuff will rub people up the wrong way after the past shit show. They should be drafted in like avengers when the accounts start spazzing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly can't be fucked, and going off the comments on here, neither can anyone else, so they're the only show in town. Really poor from the club though if they can't let someone make a sensible decision on where your lad sits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrycowdrill Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 It’s a piece of fucking piss these days to garner opinions, reach out to a cohort of like minded people, open up your own channels for people to feed in to i could do it now in 30 seconds with one simple hashtag across probably 5 or 6 avenues but they quite clearly don’t want to. Until you give them some money. Where it then falls on deaf ears anyway the Fan Park thingy is a prime example of something that the ST should’ve been involved in steering from a wider fanbase perspective. It will no doubt be a success and on the face of it sounds great but if any fan opinion has been included it would have been minimal and driven by their tunnel vision views Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just said it would take you 30 seconds to conduct a poll of all Bolton fans. So do it. It probably took you longer than 30 seconds to reply to me.
