    I have a great deal of apathy towards the football at the minute, but for me its simply a result of not going, I don't feel invested in it at all.

    If for next season we can't have everyone back restrictions free then season pass sales will drop like a stone.

    The battle was probably the high point for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

    Poland’s position on the North European Plain – the narrowest point north/south from Baltic to the Black Sea - made it a battleground for centuries as Germanic and Rus rulers (and the Swedes ) fought for control of the area. Poland was eventually partitioned, at the end of the 18th century, between Prussia, Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The country ceased to exist for the next 123 years. It was re-established after World War 1, Western powers believing that its recreation would create a more stable Europe. Just twenty years later, in September 1939 Poland was invaded by the Nazis and Soviets and partitioned again.

    They got to Moscow. Where and why did it all go wrong for Poland?

    They got to Moscow but had neither the resources nor inclination to rule over an area that is massively bigger than what we imagine. (As Napoleon and Hitler found to their cost). It went wrong for Poland when the Polen tribes set up in that part of Europe. They would always be under attack from the east and west - Tartars, Mongols, Teutonic Knights, Nazis, Soviets

    I let Featherstone Rovers keep my season ticket money last season (only had one game) and they are on sale for the coming season but i am waiting to see what happens, can't keep paying for something we arnt getting as much as it helps the club. My Reds s/t i didn't get a refund either.

    But at least our season ticket money has paid for every home match on iFollow. Without that I would have been paying £10 per game. The codes issued every match are costing me less than £7 a time. I know it’s not the same as actually being there but no one can say their season ticket money has just been wasted.

    If we aren't going back as normal for the start of next season I won't be bothering. I've wrote this season off, but I won't be buying a ticket to not go again.

    Feel like mine was total waste. I'm not upset about that as I knew the possibilities when I paid for it. Despite getting the ifollow codes I've actually been watching our games on my fire stick as it saves messing with the code and bank details. And I haven't watched them all, bet I've missed around half of them. Genuinely can't get into it at all.

    Each to their own. This is the longest run of home and away matches I’ve ever seen. I don’t mind paying 7 euros for the away matches and getting the home ones by code. Not the same, I know, but on screen is better than nothing for me.

    Indeed not knocking anyone who is enjoying watching the games.
    I normally go to anywhere between 10-20 away games in a season aswell as the home games. For me watching on TV is bot enjoyable. I enjoy going to watch football, it's just a totally different experience. Watching us on TV I might aswell be watching anyone, i find it totally without passion. I think this is probably amplified by the stadiums being empty too
