Really? I never knew that. I'm now regretting I set fire to my Sky dish and burned my season ticket. Do you think if I ask Paul nicely they'd print me a new one?

That's a very considered response (to what was a fairly spiky reply from me, and I apologise for that) and I certainly did read it all carefully. Many thanks for it. Very hard (for me) to get all the nuance of my points across, especially with all the sneery dismissive one-liners I have received...

Sorry, I didn't know that. So, the offer is for Sky customers only. That seems a bit short sighted. I hope that is rectified quickly.

mmmm..... I think I have been quite precise about who and what I'm unhappy with and am very certainly not lumping everyone together. The opposite, in fact (and at tedious length). Wozza just made a very pertinent point; much more nuanced than the posts that have annoyed me, even if I don't...

OK. Very well put. :thumbsup:

Don't be silly. That's more stupid than it is rude, but it really is stupid. You are just revealing what looks like a peevish inverted snobbery, sneering at what you imagine to be my lofty perch and lack of concern for those who are hard up. And I can assure you that I'm very much not 'alright'...

You have conflated a lot of issues there. You pain a picture of supporters paying 'twice' to fund the ego trip of a slick businessman splashing around cash on luxury playesr and pleading poverty. I will raise one eyebrow ??? You and I paid upfront for a service we haven't received. We will get...

I agree. The club did not unilaterally set the arrangement, it was an EPL decision. Imagining that a BHA fans' forum will determine the nature of a decision made by the EPL is rather naive. It's good to see a few people, even if it is a minority, keeping their feet on the ground. I hadn't...

This.

Except . . . I think that calling (by default) Tony Bloom a 'moneyman' is rather inappropriate (I'm tempering my language here....with some difficulty).

Good analogy. And the answer is if you don't fancy paying for it, don't :shrug:

Equating Brighton being part of a group charging for access to watch live games that would not ordinarily be televised and (as they will) repaying season ticket payments, with Brighton being eviscerated by Bill Archer is grotesque and absurd. Some people need to grow up :shrug:

London Irish seems to be part of this noisy 'modern football is run by moneymen' contingent that has reared up over current events, with their conspiracy theories and other tiresome nonsense. There may be some real issues about the timeline for ST reimbursement here but these have been lost in a...

The thing is, this assumes there is a wedge. Lots of posts on this thread are predicated by an attitude, about modern football in general and our club and Barber in particular. I seriously suggest to people who see this 'wedge', and imagine our club is part of the sinister contingent attempting...

Very nicely put.

You are not wrong.

That's a worry. I struggle making sense of a lot of things, in my opinion. :lolol: Edit: threw. :facepalm:

Quite. Some people seem to be going into 'I was so outraged by the Sex Pistols I frowed a brick through my TV' mode. In case they haven't noticed, we have a Covid pandemic and a mad useless government trying to ride it out like a ten year old on the back of an unbroken horse. Meanwhile our...

That's how it looks, yes. Still, if Tony Bloom voted in favour of the new charging, I'm not going to argue the toss. As for the rest, well, quite. If I'm guilty of anything it is being too forgiving of the club for holding on to my money for now and, by virtue of that, lacking consideration for...

In which case, ahem, I'm Spartacus. Er, Paul Barber. Err, drew. Season ticket payments (what? £30 a game) will be reimbursed for absentees. Meanwhile for half that amount you can pay to watch on telly. What's not to like? I fail to understand the meltdown. Someone please explain. And please...
