    Or, just maybe, Ticketmaster?

    I've had serious problems with them over the years/

    Why is it, every time we lose a football match, someone demands a statement from the club?

    Maybe he hasn’t said anything because his security pass won’t scan and he can’t get in . I’ve got one of them smart phones that worked for both matches . I was hoping for an app to order my drinks and food !!!

    Exactly! Dane essentially dropped the phrase 'before I leave' into every interview he ever did. I got the impression that he was only ever going to be here for a certain length of time anyway.

    Ticket didn`t work Satdi, and didn`t work Tuesday after being told by box office it would, she did say that we would get in if it didn`t work but it would work.

    Great showing from the club to any newbies we may have picked up this season.

    If it is Ticketmaster to blame then lets **** em off. Everytime we outsource it seems we get poor service.

    I agree. A statement about the horse would be nice. I'm really worried about it. Poor thing could be anywhere.

    The biggest problem faced by BFC, is the same problem faced by all of the hospitality industry - they are short staffed.

    >>I’ve noted a reduced number of stewards.

    >>I’ve noted turnstiles closed/not opened as early.

    >>I’ve noted less staff in kiosks.

    This isn’t the club’s fault - it’s affecting many bars, restaurants and clubs. The staff who worked prior are transient and some will have had to take other jobs up, which end up paying more and giving more hours.

    Biggest concern for me is how disjointed we look on the pitch

    Some turnstiles were closed before covid lockdown, IMO this is just financial savings.

    Because they offer rubbish, or sometimes in our case zero, pay for certain positions. That’s definitely something we control.
