    It's the Equality Act 20101, now.

    And the Directors Box doesn't HAVE to be wheelchair accessible.

  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    That Act is a long long way away Mrs G

    ;lol ;doh

    I meant to type 2010, as you probably realised.


    Having done a bit more research, it transpires there are 12 wheelchair-accessible spots in the Club London area.

    So I think it might be a good idea that unless some fans have already paid for these they be allocated to the 3 (possibly) moved fans.

    If they want it.

    Positive news, a fan asked to move because of the barriers has been upgraded and has praised the club on their customer service, that’s what we want to hear/read ;clap

    I see Moyes has said that he believes some players may be reluctant to join because of the fans behaviour.
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    @thorn - that's a good point to be honest.
    Do I want to be abused all the time? Hell no

    Which, imo, is all down to the board. The excesses of a few (those on the pitch and those throwing coins) doesn't disguise the fact that the reaction is down to the behaviour of G&S. However they spin it, it's down to them.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Totally disagree.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I think more players would be put of by the Board as opposed to the fans but can't you lay all the Burnley match issues at the feet of the Board.

    So, how many players didn’t join us after the Millwall riots which weren’t even on the same planet as the other week?

    Absolute tosh he’s spoken there SMH

    I don't think a player will be put off by the owners, after all it is they who pay the wages. If the owners offer them enough then they will come. It just won't benefit the club (as seen before the Daves took over).

    I completely disagree with you, @buffybegood. There is a path to take if you want change but violence, abuse and lawbreaking isn't one of them. Fact is, they own the club and if you aren't happy with it then unlawful activity is not the way to go.

    I don't know, a history of slagging them off on social media or in newspaper columns
    would put some off, I'd have thought.

    I’m pretty sure that Jonjo Shelley or Charlie Austin would think twice about signing for us, Snodgrass may not want to come back

    Now, remind me, whose fault would that be?

    ;hmm

    I’m so very much enjoying this blame game.


    The whole idea of solutions sickens me.


    :(

    That would be DS's fault.

    But it's not a zero sum issue.

    I specifically excluded those on the pitch and those throwing coins, so I'm not condoning unlawful activity, but fans are completely entitled to voice their unhappiness with the board imo. What is the way to go if we're not happy?

    Do it at the end of the season not when the team needs our full support. Delay buying the next season ticket. protest after the match if you must but dont pretend all or most fans are of the same mind.

    Do you think most fans are genuinely happy with the board then? I'd be very, very surprised if they are.

    Also, there is a very clear distinction between not supporting the team and not supporting the board. You can do one without the other. A protest against the board is not a lack of support for the team.

    It would also be Brady’s fault, no? I could be wrong but didn’t she comment about Snodgrass?

    It’s almost across the board, bless DG though not sure he’s bad mouthed a player?
  • BarneyBarney
    'A protest against the board is not a lack of support for the team.' It is when it affects them directly. How can anyone be supporting the team whilst hurling abuse at the Board?

    Quite easily actually.

    Not at all imo

    Did anyone else notice Barry Fry sat in the Directors Box with David Gold? We all know that S&G like hiring people they've worked with before, he's currently Director of Football at Peterborough and Sullivan says he'll be hiring a DoF

    Hopefully not
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Also I think I spotted Martin O'Neill sat behind Sir Trev
  • sweepy23sweepy23
    I spotted Fry leaving the ground in his white Merc with number plates POS11
  • HammerwombatHammerwombat
    Let’s hope it was just a social visit. I don’t think Barry fry could do any more for us than a pot plant.

    That's unfair to aspidistras

    Cheers, ASLEF; that gives me a slim opening to trot out one of my favourite puns:
    Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra: The biggest asp disaster in the world.

    I am debating whether or not to Flag that last post. ;hmm ;lol
