We're very hard to please, us Dale fans. We need to forget the Brackley result by setting it in the context of all the other results, and congratulate Jim on such an excellent start.
We must show Sir Peter Ogden and family how we, as supporters, are worthy of his time and energy. I am confident that through the Trust we shall be able to do just that.
I must confess to have been really irritated by my experience at Vicarage Lane, as I felt the policy was:
Unnecessary: what evidence is there demonstrating retention of bags will make for a more secure stadium? Inconsistent: I saw other people in the stadium with larger bags than my own. User Unfriendly: Hassle having to deposit a bag elsewhere and retain it within a small window of time. Suggestive of alternative agenda: Increase sales from food outlets?
However: I think I just have to accept it as it appears it is the way football it going.
I do miss the days when I'd have a picnic on the Spion Cop at Spotland......
Managed to notch up another ground last night at Vicarage Lane, Watford V Norwich City.
Bitterly cold, so took a back pack with the usual flask/sarnies/blanket/personal effects, but at the turnstile was told I couldn't enter the ground with a bag larger than A4 size. Backpack had to be deposited at another site in the ground, with a limited post match window in which to collect it. Flask of tea was not permitted to be carried into the ground.
Has anyone else had such an experience? Am I to be grateful for such inspired security, or has the football world got too big for it's boots (and bags)?
I was there last Saturday for their home game against Yeovil Town. Quite a tidy ground, much recent redevelopment, possibly funded from their Cup ties. Really quite small, certainly smaller than Spotland
Well, I wasn't indeed being entirely serious. Initially.
However, reading the various replies above, I do think there could be a benefit to the football community if the rules allowed for greater movement between League Two and the National League. A 'levelling up' of football, if you like. Also, it does seem unfair if the team currently placed second in the National League are beaten to a Football League place by a team 36 points beneath them, in an end of season 'cup competition'. That would effectively mean that 12 wins of their season would be literally 'pointless'.
Whilst my suggestion of 4 up 4 down does seem somewhat disingenuous as we head for a Football League exit, I do feel there may be some merit in it's adoption.
I think you'll find that your 'argument' actually confirms his anti-semitic behavior, disproportionately focusing on Israel and holding that country to different standards compared to others:
There is clearly no doubt now about the racist anti-semitism in the Labour Party, and the lack of leadership to deal with it under Corbyn.
A former Labour leader Michael Foot once wrote the 'longest suicide note in history', the 1983 General Election manifesto.
It is my hope that the appalling response to the EHRC by Corbyn, writing within minutes of the commission's 'dramatically overstated' report, becomes the shortest suicide note in political history.
It is time the Labour Party is rid of him so that the country has an effective political opposition.
