It was flippant! Intended to be certainly.

That's not right either though is it? Blocking season tickets for others. I get why certain rules are applied, with good intentions. Its the Stasi approach to the rules and pathological refusal to admit errors of judgement that let them down so badly. They need an emotional intelligence...

I think you'll find they weren't wrong and hence have nothing to apologise for....... I'd love to be wrong on that though, a change in approach would be lovely

Pointless discussion with some folk, you'll have lost them at 'understanding'

Yeah, but other than that....

Took my old mum to a match in the early days of the Amex, she brought a cheesecake with her.. plus a knife to cut it with. Unbelievable, what a character. 1901 if she goes to another match Sorry Paul

Ahh common sense! Wouldn't that be great!! Sorry to hear you no longer go, I was close to that myself 8 or 9 years ago but that would have meant my kids were prevented also. I ended up sucking it up after some childish ranting on my part. Can't help.myself sometimes.... Infuriating and so...

There's a seat next to my two, that for a while was inbetween my three - when I went from 4 to three the club failed to ensure that the three remaining were together, despite saying that they would. Can't be them that made a mistake clearly, so must have been me. The seat is never sat in by...

But you are a customer in that example

I agree with all of that - the strategic aim is good, and is working as far as I can see. You cannot have rules that deal with each and every potential circumstance - there are always grey areas. My view on this is that it is not about the rules as written, it is about the application...

I don't think it is a protest or a gesture. Its a gut feel to being kicked in the bollocks. I bet they are livid too, how dare someone suggest that all they do is not perfect. It should never have got to such levels, if some empathy had been applied then no one would be aware, no one would be...

That's where the differences and interpretation of others experience occur. Those victims of the muscle are understandably upset, the bullies applying it are supported. What that may lead to who knows, but we as a fan base have a particular set of experiences that should encourage us to have a...

Weird post, seem to be arguing with yourself and missing the point. Rules can't be set for every eventuality. Most folk get the intent, the purpose. What normally happens is that some intelligence and understanding is applied. There's no self pity that I can see, just painful experiences and...

Are you new to following the Albion? I can see how the new fans the club is trying to attract would turn it in so easily but for those properly invested it is very different. If we were treated as customers we'd not be having this thread. Unfortunately we're treated like addicts.

Absolutely! You really lose your love for the club when they take the opportunity to kick you. Certain folk love to show they are in charge and need to demonstrate that. Its pathetic but that's built into the make up of some. That's why this site is monitored as much as it is and why care...

Never Wrong is incapable of such behaviour. Hasn't developed the maturity or emotional intelligence.

He's spot on though

We could wait around the concourse for an extra 10mins like the mighty Ashburton army. That'd show them. Massive show of strength

Yep, strengthen the terms, punish some more. Exert authority further. Tolerances reduced rather than increased, if you're never wrong then why change?

Because it is impossible, that's how it feels at least when they decide to give you a slap. Ultimately, they do not care about you, me, folk that have invested in this club for decades. They are doing so much right on the pitch that they don't need to worry about it, they've more they can...
