Someone has to pay for this you know.

Why do you hate being in the groovy gang and resort to insults ?

Exactly.
The travel cost to a car parker for example is microscopic in the big picture of running a rather expensive car, and insisting on driving to the stadium.
The admin costs of doing this any other way would be vast.
As for the cyclists argument. How many out of 26,000 always cycle to the Amex?
I BACKED you on that!
FFS. Stop splitting hairs. You work for the industry.

Like who ?
The music industry ripped off everyone for decades with grossly overcharged CDs as proved in the USA as much cheaper. The fact that sub-companies set up bootleg companies to sell live music at affordable prices exposed the whole sham of this.

Yes for some of my job but I am not a direct rail employee that you all tell me I am
I didn't. To recap;
- you posted about 10 times on this thread moaning about the travel situation
- when I posted, it was to say I had shadenfreude over train people whinging about paying 4 poxy quid a fortnight
- you accused me of being in the groovy gang, purely because I don't back your position
I have since called you a dullard, because you haven't stopped prattling on about the groovy gang. You're exactly the same as another well known NSCer who can't take criticism.

We sort our own coach at 8 quid per game (on a coach ST). I accept its difficult to divide up who uses public transport etc and 30 is bearable but annoying, as we're paying for nothing we use. 60 pounds would really take the loss imo. I appreciate it's difficult for the club to prove who's using trains etc but it is a tad unfair on those who don't use public transport...

Is this Groovy Gang the same one as the shadowy group who Uncle Spielberg claims exists to thwart his NSC polls? If so, then you better add me as well. I'll wear the badge at lodge meetings but I'm f***ed if I'm wearing a replica shirt with my name on the back.
Thinking about it, with a name like the Groovy Gang, we would be more like the Hair Bear Bunch. I can go for that.

So this gave you the right to steal music did it? Whether you though music was over priced or not is irrelevant.
Worth the price of a Brighton to London season ticket by itself. :BowsDown:
Welcome Buzzer.
Anyway we can blame [MENTION=11956]bushy[/MENTION] for this groovy gang moniker - he invented it. [MENTION=38]Beach Hut[/MENTION] has just stolen it.

This was a particularly poignant montage, it's simple yet brilliant and captures perfectly his feelings (hope he doesn't mind me posting this):

Welcome Buzzer.
That's what I thought.
Groovy Gang membership = person who doesn't blame everything on immigration or doesn't rant about the good old days when white english people ruled the world
I proud to say I'm one of the cunts not in the groovy gang. It's hardly f***ing news that this year's increase is only about a third of what it costs the club is it. Anyway I had to pay this levy for 10 years at Withdean despite never using the travel vouchers then.
No, we "all" haven't. I'm well aware that the incredibly fortuitous benefit you have is due to your employment past not present, as you've mentioned it enough times.
In the same way I know you and your family receive travel worth many, many thousands of pounds - probably well in excess of £10,000 per year - and all for the cost of a small tax charge.
Of all those impacted by the Albion's travel policy, you should be one of those who thinks "I'm bloody lucky in getting what I do, so I'll not begrudge them it." However, as has also been revealed by your numerous postings on here, you're clearly a complete tight-arse and give very little to the club on top of your season ticket spend so, in fact, you do begrudge the transport policy being supported by the entire fanbase.
You're also too short-sighted to understand that if there were not an ultra-easy travel system, at point of use, then there would be no Amex. It really is as simple as that. But, go on, you carp on about the 60p per week it's costing you whilst, at the same time, you consume many hundreds of pounds of free travel per week. You sad, sad hypocritical little man.

I think everyone paying a small subsidy is the fairest and most practical way.
I don't have to pay for trasport costs but any money the club has to spend on this issue is less money for elsewhere.

But if the club drop the voucher scheme what will Southern do? It would be their responsibility to make sure people boarding have tickets or to take the commercial risk that they are losing money. All southern stations are gated arent they so the risk is minimal anyway.

Do the same as the rail and tube companies do at countless other grounds - open the gates and just accept that a large proportion won't be paying for it. Have you ever tried to get a tube after seeing the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea...even Millwall.
