Faithful or Foolish? - You Decide : Fri Jul 30, 2021 11:07 am
Each year we renew our passes hoping for the best that we will be in the top four and winning the Grand Final. Each year our hopes are dashed and the boys can't seem to win at home no matter who is the coach. Adam Pearson has done his very best to bring us what we want, to no avail because the odds are stacked against him from injuries to Covid to the dreaded SMC. He needs more support he says but he has no chance with what we are having to put up with. We arrive at the filthy, dirty stadium covered in bird pooh and rat droppings behind the seats; we have to take our own surface wipes to wipe the seats because they haven't been cleaned before the turnstiles are opened. A poor teenage boy is sent with one bucket of water to clean hundreds of seats while spectators file into the stadium and he does his best to clean by spreading the dirt from one seat to the next. To add insult to injury we can no longer take our flask of tea or coffee to drink when it is cold, as being a pensioner we might use it as a weapon, so instead we have to climb or descend the stairs to join a queue and purchase a drink, no doubt at exorbitant prices. In addition we can no longer take a soft drink with us instead - oh but we are allowed a small bottle of water as long a we don't dare to take a sip out of it before entering the turnstiles! Food hasn't been mentioned yet but no doubt we won't be allowed to take our own sandwiches next. I'm all for good security but come on folks let's have a bit of common sense! I love my club and sing loud and proud "FC till I Die" but I was hoping that wouldn't be any time soon though, the SMC are doing their best to make that happen.So, you decide folks am I faithful or foolish to renew my season pass for 2022?
