Three that I'm aware off at present. I cannot believe it,you paid your money, so you have to make the effort. I know it is tough,and the stress of getting to a night game is a pain in the butt These are guys that have had STs for a long while. Concerning fans staying away already.
Coming up from Exmouth with the wife. Even bringing a friend who will be in the away end who will be walking home if we lose!- That's true, the game is paid for, but if I wasn't ST, I think that I would have struggled for motivation to go.
Similar distance for me (Dorchester) - the evening games are the hardest - I get home about quarter to midnight To an extent things on the pitch are one of those things - no divine right in football - I get more wound up about decisions made affecting fans off the pitch (like charging me to park the car for cup games and thus costing £20 more this season while telling me they had not increased the prices!!!)
I'll be going no matter what situation we're in, although deep down I really don't want to go tomorrow but I'll be in my seat
That would be the same for me,i think if i did not have a ST i would have stayed at home tomorrow,after 1.5 hours to get 8 miles last night game.
No. Everbody has a point. I attended a City league game v Millwall in 82 where the attendance dropped below 3000. I watched City when the average gate was 4000, but stopped attending with City mid table of division two with Osman at the helm as did 4 - 5000 others. The CTID thing is risible ... Everbody does have that point above. I am now more of a consumer, If the product is not worthy of my time, there are better things to do.
SMH wonder which route you take? when I worked out of Aztec used m5 From AG 3 routes? back down the a37 via cutting through to WHITCHURCH or 3 or 4 other routes to it. down through Yeovil Via Failand to m5 at Portishead / SERVICES roundabout via long ashton by pass to WSM M5 PORTWAY is another, my route would be Portishead via Failand A FEW MILES MORE BUT QUICKER, probably more economical fuel wise
I go Yeovil - Street - Wedmore - Cheddar - in on A38 then through Barrow Gurney onto the Long Ashton by-pass (though new road open I think??)
G U L P .....I spend a lot of time WEDMORE/ CHEDDAR and have friends, contact weekly at Shapwick / Ashcott and Axbridge was surprised, but hey you wont get bored on that route ... I think the road is open to long ashton not been on it yet .. supposed to bring my House closer to A38 by about 2 mins ok IF GOING SOUTH I SUPPOSE. why cheddar ... the chip shop? ... wedmore to lower weare A38 better route
Many moons ago my girlfriends family lived in Cheddar - hence I go that way From there I go up and over the hill and through a village (think it's called Shipham) then join the A38 just before Churchill (by a garage)
ah yes on that nasty bend, by the garage, going down into Churchill with that OTT priced fish and chipshop .. A38 to the mile3 /towns talk and the new road ...
