That’s exactly what I think about people who think it’s vital that we conceal the lyrics. New and occasional fans, plus oldies like me with memory problems, would like the words to be shown. Not something I’d ever consider a big issue mind, but if someone thinks it important enough to try to ban...

Likely, yes but this is also a danger in that a new administration often clears the decks of half-chewed legislation. Labour won’t gain anything by abandoning it completely but it’s the sort of proposal that won’t be seen as high priority for a new government. So it might get kicked into the...

Yes, I find it deeply concerning that the PL and at least some clubs are fighting against the appointment of a regulator. The resistance to what looks like a fair and sensible policy, seems to be a very clear admission that there are major faults with football administration.

I always remember the chorus but can get a bit dotty during the verse. Apologies for that. What exactly is the problem in displaying the words? Regarding the post I responded to, can someone please explain why more people would sing without words than with? It makes no sense. It’s blatantly...

Utter bo11ocks, sorry. Are you suggesting that displaying the words stops people singing? Some people seem horrified that new home visitors, and even long term intermittent fans, may not know the words to GOSBTS off by heart. I certainly don’t know every word, and I appreciate being able to...

May have been different for the other blocks but the people in the lower one, 47, which had the tear gas, were directed out and straight onto the buses. There was no hanging about chatting to staff, even if I’d seen any. I think most of us just wanted to get away. I read about it later on the...

I don’t know how much detail they have, or how you know that they have a 'great deal of detail', but I’ve not been asked about my experience on the night. and of all the people I shared stories with over the next 4 days, no one had heard from the club or been asked about what they went through...

I wouldn’t expect BHA people to have been able to do anything practical on the spot in Athens, no. But I must admit I’m surprised, and a bit disappointed, that there’s been no correspondence from the club since then. I was fully expecting an email to all ticket purchasers expressing regret and...

I’d like to have the option of paying a little more, being able to book in advance, and receiving a better, more reliable service. If there’s a driver shortage, let’s hear the club say it, and appeal for assistance. There must be trained drivers out there who would be able to help, including the...

No, we obviously don’t have to get the buses to the ground because it would be impossible to administer. It’s for the convenience of the police rather than the fans. The return journey is a different story of course as we’ll be a captive audience and much easier to control and direct.

I’d like to see P and R buses used primarily for people using the P and R facilities, many of whom have quite long journeys to make once they get back to their cars. If the buses are used by everyone, it becomes impossible to estimate how many buses are needed, hence the delays. I'd have no...

You're a train man. You need to be on the P and R buses. I don’t know about Mill Rd but at the racecourse, loads of people get off and set off walking down the hill towards Kemptown, or double-back towards the town centre.

But at least Lewes has loads of pubs, restaurants, bus routes, and a station. If the Amex was similarly surrounded by bars and cafes, shelter, and different transport options, it would be much less of a problem.

Of course they have the 'right' as things stand, but it seems nonsense to me to have a park and ride system that doesn't give priority to people who are actually using the park and ride, many of whom will have a long way to drive home. There is very possibly a supply problem with buses and...

Fair enough, that's another good reason for staggered times. TBH, I'm struggling to think of any benefits to sales windows opening at the same time. Though no doubt if/when they do stagger them, there will be a chorus of disapproval from some who prefer to do it all in one go! I think Abraham...

It's fair to say that no single window-open time would solve the problem for everyone. But I think it would make sense to at least stagger the times to reduce the chance of long waits. It doesn't seem sensible to start selling 3 matches at once + parking. That said, I don't know how the staffing...

Do you think people don’t do this? Of course people consider their transport options. Trouble is, none of the options work very well unless you leave before the final whistle, or pay an extra £20-25 for a Seagull Travel coach ie they’re not great options either.

Live departure boards are a great idea.

Your first sentence is amazingly long. Those 113 words finally end with "....is perplexing" and a full-stop. Phew, I think I got there . But more important, are you saying that it's absurd that senior club management should try to experience what normal fans go through every home game? Early in...

Agreed, transport is the one and only gripe for me. Everything else is trivial. I wish I could still buy toffees and sherbert lemons at half time. Bottle tops, blah. I'll survive. The root of my pissed-offness is not even the transport issue itself, but the total silence from the club to...
