On Codalmighty was all you need to know. Very good.

I for one am chuffed to bits that she feels like that.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Yes to a certain extent, but am i the only one who feels a growing sense of not being that welcome as a Male Supporter?

Dale and the Club may be right in that we have an element of idiots, but what club doesnt?  Im way past the bovver boot age, but it felt that targets were being created.

Get the feeling that they would swap me after 47 years of support for one season of a family of 4.....

She is called Kelly. Might be polite to change the title of the thread?


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

You are right. They would. It is all part and parcel of moves to change the face of the game away from being the working class man’s relaxation to being a popcorn selling family outing as with US football, baseball and now soccer. Our football is slowly but surely being moved into the commercial arena which is all about image. The bonus is that such a move automatically reduces the likelihood of violence, racism, homophobia ..... at games. In 20/30 years time the English pro game will be unrecognisable. That may be seen as a good thing but the motives are not as pearly white as they seem because the whole shebang is driven from the top down by the PL and the money behind the PL. It is a world of franchises and global incomes. The likes of Grimsby Town are small fry in this. We will be what is known in the US as Little League.

It's not a question of manners old boy. Simple error.

When do you ever hear of a ruckus inside BP? It's a great point by her that the only time in recent memory being against Port Vale where the Club (read: Stadium Manager) failed in overseeing safety protocols to ensure fan's could not get at each other.

And as such were fined.

Take a look in the mirror Nick, if this was say a Minister speaking derogitarily about his constituents say he would be forced to resign. Not only do us fan's have little to no faith in him, he has also served to stir up the hornets nest and potentially provide a catalyst to the kind of toxicity he thinks is so prevalent.
