Message from the pianist - Thanks all for the kind comments! Really pleased you enjoyed it! I appreciate that point of view - as do the club I’m sure. It’s hard to please everyone, and the club do want to improve the match day experience from conversations we’ve had. It’s a tricky one as the room is so big, if you’re too close it’s too loud, at the back of the room it’s hard to hear. Believe it’s being looked at though for ways to mitigate it. It was a trial run so I will feed that back to the club.
True, but after 10 successive sackings and no success, in any other industry, you'd consider a new line of work.
The Dugout is no place for entertainment. I went in a couple of weeks ago for the first time in years (seeing as William Gemmell had closed). It was... well I had a pint and watched the footy on tv. It seems no one from the club comes in to announce the team anymore. Got the impression if you are not there before 12.30 you haven't got a cat in hells chance of getting a seat.
Hard to hear at the back of the room? I don't think so. I was at the opposite end of the room to the piano and it was deafening. We could barely hear one another talk and the table next to us up and left.
If Maldon and Tiptree United and Welling Town are paying compensation for a sacked manager, I really ****ed up entering the engineering sector...
Ye, I wasn't being entirely serious. City and England under 21s look like the highlight of his managerial career and I'm surprised he's been managing Bahrain and non league for the last decade - I rate him higher than that. Having said that, he might be semi-retired and enjoy the lower pressure.
no I wouldnt, if they were paying me a 6 figure sum, it’s just way the circle of football. Constant churn
They'd get a few more if they didn't charge £5.95 for a pint (allegedly) of that Turkish lemonade and put some decent beer on.
Can we have a match day thread please chazz. Two weeks to discuss how great, crap, expansive, progressive, slow, ponderous we are going to be. Ta.
