Sometimes there’s pyrotechnics?Highly unlikely I'll ever go again. I gave up my ST years ago as it just wasn't affordable anymore. By the time I could afford it again they were impossible to get. I've absolutely refused to have anything to do with the utter ****ing disgrace that is the current membership scheme so I'm never going to even be offered a ST unless they get made available for general sale. & like **** will that ever happen.
They'll be left with a fair few games next season that absolutely no **** wants to go to so there'll be general sale match tickets freely available for anyone who fancies it. I'd do one of those if I felt like it.
Fact is, in my current state of health sitting in the stands in the cold for 2 hours isn't a pleasureable experience on any level. If I ever go again it'll probably be after having a nice windfall of some sort & forking out for a hospitality thing for a couple of hundred quid. At least that would be comfortable.
One thing I do wonder about though is all this " matchday experience " bollocks. What the **** even is that ? It's just a cringeworthy corporate phrase that means nowt isnt it ?
I went down regularly for over 40 years & the " experience " only changed when they put the seats in.
Go to the match
Watch the 1st half
Get a tea & a pie/hot dog/ burger
Sit impatiently through whatever dire shite passed for half time " entertainment "
Watch 2nd half
Feel either joyful, miserable or indifferent
Walk down the cut to Frog Island
Get a bus.
Thats ****ing it. For over 4 decades.
(Apart from when I lived on Woodgate. Or Ullswater St. Then I didn't need the bus)
Just exactly what the **** is this experience that everyone bangs on about ?
And straws to clutch at
