On Tuesday morning when I told the kids how great Monday was I promised them we would go watch the Wrexham game at the ground in McMenemys. In hindsight I should have known that the silence coming out of the club about that was a bad sign but I hoped they would get a screen in front of the Pontoon depending what stage the grass was at.

I would like to know who they are blaming here because if it's the council, what hope have we got?

I'm disappointed but it's not the clubs fault.

Putting a screen up at BP isn’t that simple.

Yes it’s a shame but I’m still not convinced they’d get more than 500…

Perhaps they could’ve done something but let’s face it, we didn’t plan on being in the playoffs and as Wrexham have pointed out, Saturday is just a parade for them, we’re merely making up the numbers so it’s probably not regarded as important…

I'm sure the booking was probably made prior to our relegation.


League Two Play-off Final is on the same day and on its traditional date.

You don't know how far in advance the booking was taken, as for organising in advance you can't predict demand or lack of tickets to a game because they had no idea who we'd be facing in a semi-final last July. As far as I read the main issues were because of renovations going on to the ground, I get some people are disappointed that they can't get together with their mates and have it feel like a matchday but their values in wanting to improve the ground and matchday experience are clear in that work on the ground has stopped this happening.


The only issue I have is the club pointing fingers all the time. It shows a lack of class.

You appear to be reading a different statement to the rest of us. It doesn't say it's anyone else's fault, only that they tried to make it happen, couldn't and are sorry.

They stated that they couldn't get permission so somebody has put a stop to it, it would be interesting to know who.

As for equipment hire, the club showed the Notts County game didn't they?

Wasn't the showing at McMenemy's, and they tried to show it inside the stadium this time?
Could be the pitch installers stopped it, or BT or alcohol licencing which only sits every so often, and if you miss the session, you have to wait for the next. Or even hire of a big screen could be the issue.
Maybe the Grim Telegraph will do something useful for once and make a list of Pubs/Bars that show BT Sport.
