I weighed 100s and 50s and would then create a shed load of those, but all the rounds had odd numbers Eg 174, 163 etc so inevitably there would then be some hand counting.
Towards the end of the shift it got a little more lackadaisical.
I had a connected job.
I worked for The Leader in Robert Street. My job was to divide the leaflets for all the rounds in Brighton and Hove. We’d get thousands of boxes of leaflets and I’d have to divide them up ie 100 for this round, 150 for that round, 63 for that round. It was all done by...
Marseille had similar gaps between tier 1 and 2 but the threshold for tier 1 was far higher at 308 points. Tier 2 for Marseille was at 230 points.
Those tickets hung around all the way down the tiers. Maybe the club assumed that lots had pre-registered without intending to attend (as they had...
How come we only get 5 points for going to Marseille but 15 to Everton?
It’s less about loyalty and more about incentivizing fans to attend a shit ground to see a shit team.
Which is why the tiers seem so wrong. If I had 260 points and I suddenly realised I was jostling with people on 220 I’d be a tad annoyed. Ah well, privileged world problems.
Ah, but by saying this you could mean young black men*.
Because the statistics may well say that most of the perpetrators are young, they are male, and they are black.
What are you going to do, stop all young black men?
Because not all young black men carry knives. The vast majority are law...
Bloody chicken shit season ticket holders on 265 points!
Too chicken to go to Marseille to face the Ultras, but you're all up for a trip over the road to have a puff and go to the football.
Yellow chickens the lot of you!
(not bitter at all.)
If I don't get a ticket then my aim will be to...
"Some fans say I am the custodian, not the owner. Who say they were born here and will die here. I may not have been born here and I will probably not die here - well, I can actually guarantee there is no way on God's earth I will die here - but one thing I can say is that I will always try and...
Gutted that I'm on 260 points. If only I'd have squeezed in another game last term! Bugger!!!!!!
Hopefully there'll be a couple of hundred left on Monday morning.
Was about to bounce this but I see @Tfitz12 has done it already.
Scunthorpe's owner David Hilton has withdrawn funding from the club. The club have announced that they are to play games 16 miles away at Gainsborough Trinity. But, surprise surprise, Gainsborough say they know nothing about the...
Now stood on East Croydon station and after some reflection since my last post, I’m REALLY pissed off. We should have won that! We’re better than them.
Disappointing to have lost that. We felt a little under par and probably need to focus on taking chances when they come. Could have won it. Didn’t. Learn and move on.
