Please please please tell me your tongue is firmly in your cheeks!

When the predictable string of songs goes to form I think we should point out politely, that they, like us, will have a trophyless season.

My 4 yr old keeps asking me when he came come along to a game and I have been considering taking him to sit on my lap. Only problem is I look around me at games and there's barely enough room for me, let alone a 4 yr old too! I was talking to a friend about it and she said that they had taken their...

Don't do it. I took my son to his first match when he was four. He quite liked watching the players warm up. Then just before kick off he said he wanted to go home. Then when the match started and I started venting my feelings at the ref he burst into tears. At half time he wanted to go home! then ...

I seem to have the sam problem as a few people on here. I currently have a season ticket and one for my 5 year old son despite us now living 230 miles away in Colwyn Bay. I could justify the £700 spend, just about, because of the importance of our first ever season in the top flight. I cannot make ...

Personally I would rather that we have no dealings with the Dongs. It is IN MY OPINION, that by doing so we are endorsing what happened to Wimbledon which is very wrong.

Mathew Kilgallon?

I am not saying him or Whitehead are worth £5m but they are the two Championship players I can think of that we were rumoured to be interested in, that stayed with Championship clubs....

Neale Cooper or Francis Joseph for me. Neale Cooper as he was a member of the fantastic early 80s Aberdeen side but by the time he came to us he could no longer pass water. Francis Joseph as he was bought in as a replacement for Trev after our first season up in Div 2 and thanks to him and the other...

I like the "we support our local team" comment. It is perfectly true... I was reading the report of the match in the NOTW and did anyone else see the Your Shout question to some of the Man Yoo fans at the game? Duncan Savage - Seaford Eamonn Ruane - Leeds (?) Richard Heathcote - Bordon Sha...

Neil was a little lost as he did not have any referee /linesman based cock ups to pass the blame on to...I bet he was almost willing Lita's header in from the cross from Inga when the ball looked to have gone out.. You can imagine it...we would have got at least a point but decisions like that are c...

More maturity shown by Melksham Royal than the author of the first message on this thread and was not even born until nearly 10 years after the author's first match!! I have been a supporter since my first game in 1979 and I am just loving the "hard time" we are currently experiencing!!! M...

hopefully by the sound of it they will take each case on its merit. It sounds like the three upgrades for evening fixtures permitted by the terms and conditions is going to be less than useless for you. It will be interesting to see how the club will interpret 'exceptional circumstances' where the ...

Cheers for both replies, particularly TFF. It worked out quite well being able to upgrade my son's ticket occasionally last year. I can understand the club wanting to protect against the misuse of a youngster's ticket but hopefully by the sound of it they will take each case on its merit. From my ow...

Upgrading under 12 season ticket for one off games

I apologise in advance if this question has already been asked and answered, I've looked through 5 pages and can't see it!! Last year I could upgrade my 4 yr olds ticket 6 times, is there a similar policy for the young whipper snapper tickets this year? and if so how many times can I upgrade it to a...
