Just got my tickets

[Kenny]

Just got back, queue wasn't too bad at about half 4, there was a very very lovely friendly young lady working the far booth.

On another note, while I was queueing I noticed on the Trust hut they have a sign up saying "VACANCY - TRAIN DRIVER NEEDED, Apply to the Commercial Deparrtment". Surely if the Trust are having another little dig at the club over the LDV train fiasco then surely the Commercial dept should have their own sign up re:Grimsby saying "PETROL NEEDED, please give any spare barrels to the trust".....Although I'm sure the club have got better things to do!

Oh dear, not so much a hidden agenda as a bit of petty point-scoring. I thought we'd put that sorry episode behind us.

Apparently not. How disappointing.

or maybe some harmless banter?

How long's not "too bad"?

Also, did you ask how many tickets have been sold?

 

[shoebury_shrimper]

Or maybe the coach running out of fuel WASNT the trusts fault!

Not in the context of some reasonably tetchy e-mails between various people on here - some in the Trust, and some who appeared to have an axe to grind with the Trust.

A fair bit of vitriol was spilt on these boards concerning this very issue. I should have thought that after that, the last thing that people would be wanting to do would be to bring the whole episode up again.

It appears that I was mistaken.

Did you notice that the steps to the shop nearest to the road have been demolished?

Seems vaguely humorous to me. My guess is that it's not another dig re the LDV fiasco, but a new dig at the lack of train for the play-off final. They clearly have moved on.

Agreed, Matt. It seems some people wish to use this forum as a kiddie's name-calling playground, to boost their own ego, rather than make any constructive or vaguely amusing contribution. Sadly, this board has been going downhill for a while, and some seem determined to keep it going in that direction.

It's a pity. Genuinely.

Yeah and only room for one way traffic to get into Roots Hall!

Poor traffic management if you ask me!

Causes more delays on Victoria Avenue too.

Only in the stato/anorak sense

It seems some people like to hide behind "Guest" usernames to try and stir things up and get a reaction ...

Surely its better to do this now then during a season when we are playing home matches at least once a fortnight?

My guess is that this has been arranged for a while, so it didn't clash with the football season, but seeing as we had to settle for a place in the play-offs, it is clashing. After saturday I can't see it being too much of a problem.

Some people really really need to get a sense of humour bypass.

This has absoloutley bugger all to do with the LDV Trains Fiasco.

It is a joke, which as far as I am aware all parties involved found quite funny.

Just for the record I printed the sign & stuck it up.

I have just spent the best part of 10 hours in the Hut selling Coach Tickets today and I do not need to come home & find these purile comments.

I would suggest that before any further comments are made that people try to actually try to find out how members of the Trust & SUFC Staff work together at times like this, and that at times a bit of light hearted banter is required & accepted.

So if people want to have a pop at anybody, have a pop at me. I did it, not the Trust & as you all know I apparently have an agenda to bring the club down anyway
