    i think you need to chill out abit, it's a forum that's discussing stuff and if you get personal or angry on a forum over opinions and discussion which i think need to improve that's up to you

    Would agree the SOL needs some investment. Needs a good clean and some money spent on it to improve the fan experience. The beer and food offer is shocking too, that needs to be looked at but pretty sure Davison just signed a new deal with the beer supplier this year. Maybe wrong on that, happy to be corrected.

    Love a bit of that. Climbing up between people's houses is a bit of a laugh.
    One of my favourites was Chesterfield's old Saltergate. That was worth a visit just to see how terrible the bogs were!

    Give it a rest man, just because I'm bored with your whining it doesn't mean I'm not chilled.

    Stop with the amateur psychiatrist and concentrate on being an amateur administrator/coach/football manager.

    People are allowed to disagree with you, your opinions are nothing more than that.

    An honest question and not trying to provoke argument.
    I agree entirely that we need to increase revenue/turnover to increase the amount we can spend on players and their wages. So are we happy with the reported extra £60000+ we made from the BCB hospitality yesterday? it's a decent amount of money which is over and above our projected revenue from a sold out cup tie.

    We ended up in their main stand when McPhail scored a late penalty equaliser ...

    ... we jumped up and one of the lad's legs went through the floor <laugh>

    On the flip side we went to rescue some Sunderland lads, after the game, and had knives pulled on us <doh>

    I sit on the 18 yard line and apart from two seasons ago when Stewart Donald was here I can hear it perfectly well.

    Personally, them being in the BCB was weird but when you look at it i'm not sure where else in the ground they could've been, and if they have to be in there ripping their eyeballs out is the correct thing to do. So yes I am happy

    I'm assuming by your spelling that you're pissed and confused, I'm responding exactly as I see fit.

    You're coming across as a moaner with a grudge ...

    ... tbf you're not on your own.

    I didn't say you should stop going but, if you think the SOL is such a death trap, you'd be crazy going in.

    Yeah, a couple of times. In fact, nearly got to play there once but there was an administrative **** up and the game was moved.

    One thing we all seem to forget is this, After cm and sd left, we still cut back on staffing levels, the ticket office was out sourced, the staff in the shop were put on part time hours.
    Then when fans started shouting it fell on deaf ears.
    The catering was **** and still is to be honest.
    We have had investment at the AOL, lots of new glass offices, a lift that works, but not at the SOL other than a few local contractors doing up the top floor rooms.
    The E ticket system is ****e, if fact if you lot knew how many times this ****s up in different areas you would be shocked.
    If we don't invest in the SOL the complaints will just get bigger and louder.
