Quoted from 1739
Does anyone know whether locking a fire exit with a chain and padlock is against the law?
A fire or emergency exit is there for a reason, and should not be locked and chained at any time. i think the HSE would have some strong words about that if it where true

Think this Sladeball thing is overstated. However, yes, we have to stay up this season, and if it means another 33 games of less than exiting watching, so be it.
Next year is another matter altogether, as unacceptable performances must be punished. Anybody remember Rome?
BULL crap, we had a manager and non-chairman talking about promotion, I expect us to be challenging or look like we could be challenging.

I would imagine it depends on risk assessment and whether other fire exits are available.

Well if you think this is bad, you could always go and watch Arsenal whose fans slate them every time they don't win by a mile. Think their season ticket is over £1000 too.
Was at a wake on Weds and was talking to a couple of old friends...one a Bradford ST Holder £150....one a Man City ST Holder £300....they both nearly choked when i told them how much ours were.......and a promised increase next season.

For those that went i'm sure there is some positive stuff. Every just back thread these days (and not just because its slade) doesn't have 1 bit of positivity. Surely in 90 mins of football it isn't all negative. I get people are saying its boring but you dont have to just talk about the negatives, surely we need balance views.
I'm not known for my negativity (I hope) but the only positives from today as a whole were a great al fresco breakfast on the seafront and the fact that it wasn't cold in the Pontoon. I honestly cannot remember any passage of play other than the run Jones went on to win his penalty. Truly dire fare.

We are solidly mid table in League 2 are we not? Only lost once in 5 games.... I didn't go today. I went to York races. Had a great day. A rare child free weekend day.
We are in the football league. Our manager has a 'style' and our budget is average at very best. Do something else. Get on with some other stuff rather than go to BP if it's boring. Life is short and opportunities to enjoy yourself are rare indeed (especially if you've got young kids and a demanding job).
The upshot is - it's ok to be 'middling' in L2 in a sense. It's much better than being in the conference - I never lose sight of that, BUT.... if I was running the club, I shouldn't be surprised if many people don't want to pay a lot of money on a Saturday to sit through 90 minutes of something that makes them frustrated and miserable.
Very well put Chaos, as without a major cash input the best we are likely to be in the current football money based climate is somewhere between mid leagues 2 and 1. Yes, win one well, lose one may be more entertaining, but consolidation at any cost is better than slipping out of the league again as I'm not sure we would get back in six years next time

I recall that Bradford have always offered good value for ST's, but that's pretty impressive for Man City

Pleased you had a good day. I had a lovely morning playing golf in great weather with good friends then went to watch another mind-numbing display from a team that is sent out to frustrate not entertain. New stadium will be utterly pointless at this rate - might as well stay where we are because that football is worthy of a shithole like Blundell Park not a venue with any class. Today's football had the Fenty era written all over it - low-cost, bargain basement fare with little or no prospect of improvement.

We have had the media and English press talking about England winning the World Cup for the last 50 years, but what does that prove? There are two teams in every game. There is no Devine right for GTFC to win. Get real.
