Me too
I didn't see much wrong with either of the John's posts.
I thought this forum was all about free speech.

Well no, but if he got there that late then I assume they didn't till later in the morning, and he was only coming from south Lancashire. Why not get a train?

That's quite a big assumption

As soon as the club new about the problem on M6 they should have contacted the ref, I'm sure they'd of known where he was coming from (Lancashire) and he couldve set off earlier or got the train. There was plenty of time to get there in good time - the motorway had been shut since half 6. I found o...

I'm sure when we're bottom of the league getting battered every week, we'll be pulling in big crowds!

As opposed to not having locals, being second from bottom and having crowds of just over 700, I see your point.

There is a problem with that. You are now playing in the top line non-league echelon. Are there any locals who can seriously compete for a place? Even Emlyn was dismissed as a Barrow player on the grounds that he wasn't even good enough for them and now it's all swept under the carpet by erecting a...

I went down to Stevenage that season fearing the worst, especially when Prior was dismissed, but super Brian Dawson did the business, it was the game and result that gave us the belief that we could stay up and a little breathing space if we were to take something from the Woking home game, but we ...

If the club cut the prices they would get even less income because the number of extra people who attend wouldn't make up for the shortfall by cutting the prices. If we made it £1 for a kid do you think we'd get an additional 600-700 kids in addition to what we get already to equate for the shortfa...

One distinctly more likely than the other but both would disappoint me for different reasons.
