Has anyone sent this to Mark Ashton yet? And/ or the American owners. I think they have done a better job than many owners at respecting Town traditions and trying to engage locally. However they can certainly do more, for example engaging with Blue Action. |  | | |

Yep, 100%.
Not sure what can be done about it. As soon as one team chases an income stream the rest follow.
Maybe in 20-30 years teams will abandon their stadiums for a state of the art arena with 1000 cameras for VAR and a choice of 20 virtual seats to watch with your VR headset.
Robots and AI doing 90% of jobs and the rest of us on UBI. No two games in the league kicking off at the same time as they are staggered for maximum exposure. Massive deals with Budweiser and Doritos as they look to increase sales to viewers at home.
Sky introducing the Full Kit W@nker Superfan package where Tarquin from Weybridge can have a virtual ST at his favourite eight Premier League clubs with a replica shirt for all of them. Built in interactive social media because who doesn't want to see what BigJohn1992 from Aberdeen thinks of the opening 10 minutes of Arsenal vs Chelsea? 'Support both teems, hope itz draw lmfao'.

Genuinely had not seen these before just now but the timing is excellent:

Yeah, even if you take away the fact of where it is, the World Cup is going to be a farce with 48 teams. 104 games. That's just under a fifth of a Championship season compressed into a month. I'm probably going to try and avoid it because of the whole Trump thing tbh.
And what Frimmers said about FA Cup Final day is true. More often than not, these days, I don't bother with it. Since the EPL started the only teams to have won it outside the big six in 34 years are Everton under BFJ, Pompey, Wigan, Leicester, and Palace. (Granted, Spurs have never won it in that time, and obviously you couldn't consider Man City as a major player until about 2010, but you get the idea).
Then there's the League Cup. Yes, you get a wider variety of winners (I'm the EPL era Leicester, Villa, Brum, Swansea, Newcastle, Boro, Blackburn), but who remembered that the final is actually this Sunday. I even had to check to see who was playing.
I get that things have to move on, and no matter how much we may yearn for Entry of the Gladiators, Golden Goal times, and a Peter Phillips or Bryan Knights type on the PA, it ain't gonna happen. Sad, but true I'm afraid. |
With the P.A. thing, why can't it happen? Not every club has this juvenile shrieking. I've said it before and scarcely dare say it again, but if you want to hear it done properly, you only have to go as far as Colchester. I get that it's a much smaller crowd, but to me the principles still apply. Last Friday in the minutes before kick-off, he welcomed away fans, gave out some sad news about the death of a couple of long-term supporters, congratulated someone on passing a driving test, welcomed a couple of kids football teams attending for the first time, read out the teams for a second time, and then, just before kick-off, urged supporters to "get right behind the team". |  | | |

Hang on, I'm sure we *DID* have cheerleaders for a brief time more recently, or am I imagining it?
Somewhere between the Keane and McCarthy era. They were a bit rubbish. |
You're right, there was a cheerleading group that performed for a couple of years around that era.
I remember finding it quite awkward to watch and ended up diverting my eyes from the pitch most of the time. Then half-time finally arrived. |  | | |

I'm not actually advocating removing toilets Glassers, just the club prioritising the match day atmosphere over the tourist model that you seem happy with.
The fans in the 70/80s kept football alive when most of the corporate prawn munchers wouldn't have come near Portman Rd. They'll be following town long after it's no longer fashionable too. |
Someone could argue that it’s the fans of the 70/80s that made football so desperate to bring in the corporate money. Mid 80s football was flat-out due to a bunch of bell ends who couldn’t behave themselves and ended up smashing things up. Crowds were really low and stadiums were just massive urinals.
In reality, football needs the young uns’ to generate a great atmosphere but football also needs the tourists and the business people for much needed revenue.
Some tourist places offer cheaper tickets for locals - not really fair for those that live outside of Suffolk. But subsidising much cheaper tickets for young people should always be an option.
And Blue Action should be able to seat in the middle of the NS -
I probably didn’t answer any points generated in this thread do I’ll just ‘add reply’ now. |  | | |
