Well for what it's worth I used to do the divots as a volunteer in 93/94 and 94/95. I got a free ticket way back then for it too, though it meant finishing pretty late on an evening match, often around 11pm.
In life, I always try to not jump to conclusions – sit back and let the story and facts form first, then decide. But with this story, given our knowledge of the Allams, it’s really hard not to jump to a conclusion that they’re being ruthless ****s again. Reactions to this story are akin to say being burgled, and the prints they find on your window are from a well known recidivist. Our course it might not be him, but what does rationale suggest.
Cry wolf , give a dog a bad name . Well the Allams have plenty of history when getting shut of loyal servants to City .
Right. My comment was a general one, not one specifically about these two. I need explain nothing, everyone on here has already read your posts over the past few years and your response is akin to Tom Rowell's.
So in response to a specific question about a specific topic on here, you give a general response, that's still a load of bollocks, and....of course...you feel justified in your smug, high and mighty manner we're all used to now. Or, in other words, your response was a load of bollocks, as per. I'm just going to do what you do from now. Anything you post, I'll assume is a lie/made up/load of bollocks, as that is what you do. Anything from PLT is he's just angry because Africans are angry and aggressive and it's their (all Africans) fault our fans are divided etc.. No need to read anything at all either of you post, it'll be that anyhow. If it's good enough for you, etc.
Carry on defending the indefensible and I'll keep highlighting it. 'He's a business genius sat in his office laughing at CTWD' ring any bells?
As far as I'm aware the turnstile operators used to get free tickets into the game, although only when the turnstile closed and cash etc accounted for. Is that why the club got rid of them? Do the programme sellers still get free entry instead of a wage?
I've no idea about the sackings of groundsmen or volunteers being told they're not wanted There might be very good reasons for both things, there might not But the issue for me isn't what has been done, it's the way it's been done If you're going to let volunteers go then ask them to pop in early before the Spurs game, explain to them why they're being let go, thank them for their help over the years, give them the tickets for the Spurs game and tell them that you have people employed to do it after them game, so please enjoy the game without needing to sort the pitch after...oh and by the way here are some vouchers for food and drink But what do I know?...
Maybe not in advance, but you could very easily have a photo shoot with them at the Spurs game and release something saying what an excellent job they've done, but we've decided to employ people instead etc Half a brain and you could spin it favourably if you had to
You can't help yourself can you? I haven't defended anything in respect of the Groundsmen nor the divitors. Not once. Not even hinted at it. So that's another lie from you. I'm flattered you have a handy notepad with quotes from me from all that time ago. I can't reciprocate I'm sorry to say. The quote lacks context too. Thats usual for you as well so I'll just add that to the things to do. Did I think CTWD were a bunch of self serving ****s who tried to make out they were noble, and doing it for the masses? Yes I did. Did I think the Chairman of CTWD was a 2 faced **** who said one thing, while privately saying something else? (That's being dishonest btw). Yes I did. Did you admire him for that? Of course you did. Lieing and duplicitous, how could you not? Anyhow, enough of toying with you, the lies you come out with and desperation you show with years old quotes put my teeth on edge. Those without blinkers on know what you are and how you act. Has anyone actually got any actual idea what the hell has gone with 2 of the groundsmen and the divitors, and why? Is divitor even a word? Have we got any groundsmen left at the club?
That's what I meant. It really should be a piece of piss marketing a Premier League club. Did you read the bullshit in the supporters meeting minutes about the City of Culture. ****s they are, but we knew that already.
Can't we just have a new thread whenever anything happens? Obviously something's cracked off but I'm ****ed if I know what.
They're looking for new pitch volunteers Please arrive at the West Stand entrance at 2.30 with your own fork
