groups of blokes sat in local pubs on a matchday and at drop of a hat all decide to head down to KMS at last moment,that market has long gone.to be a floating rovers fan now means calling yer mates days before the game and JUST talk about going and more than likley passing on going to game
This isn't a dig Mr Frost! Honest. I'm just a weird bugger who's fascinated by the use of language. Your first sentence took my attention: \"... are one of the only clubs...\". What does that actually mean? How many are the 'only clubs'? 2? 10? 50? I get the drift of course. You're suggesting that maybe there's a few clubs who don't offer the option under discsussion, but you've no idea how many that might be. But it's the implicit emotional content that I find so fascinating. 'Rovers are rubbish! Everyone else offers it' is the message I take from that sentence. But in truth, we don't know how many othere clubs are in the same position. So I suspect that the use of a phrase like you have done is designed to give an impression that supports a point of view but which actually has not been proven. Is that right? Language is an utterly fascinataing thing. And English is particularly so. It is an incredibly subtle language. You can say EXACTLY what you mean in English since it has more nouns and adjectives than anay other language except Mandarin. It is an extremely precise lanaguage. And that's what makes sentences like the one I highlighted so interesting. To phrase something in that way, and we all, including me, do it sometimes, actually says an awful lot more than the mere words might suggest. Oh well. Arcane discussion over for tonight.CheersBobG

well chaps. I've made another attempt to contact the club to urge them to consider some other options on ticketing.Don't hold your breath but you never know.
There needs to be a pay on the day turnstyle does the club think that waiverers are going to travel twice to the ground to see a game?
There are cries to buy Billy Sharp, Andy Keogh, the KMS etc............where is the money supposed to come from ffs ?
Just been looking at Blackpool's season ticket brochure.They are offering payment by 6 month STANDING ORDER payable to the clubs bank account. Not Direct Debit.They are offering 10% refunds to all ST holder for each friend they introduce up to a maximum of 10 i.e. 100% refund. To be paid back after 1 December.Where there's a will there's a way.http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/staticFiles/4a/4e/0,,10432~151114,00.pdf
