Well done bfc for listening to the fans

 

Common sense prevails. I'd like to know whose bright idea it was in the first place.

Well done BFC for fixing this c*ck up.

 

Fair play...

 

I think it was LJ's Idea!

 

I was thinking more BM!

He'll just have to unveil our new badge at the dinner instead

 

The only problem with this is that they are planning to do it half an hour before kick off. The ground is virtually empty at ten to three most games so are we all going to make a big effort to get in early on Saturday?

I would start the awards at 2.45 and rattle through them quickly. There's no reason to do it so early, is there? Surely all that needs to be said in the dressing room will have been said by then, won't it?

 

After consultation? After reading the backlash!! And they've probably not sold many dinner tickets!!

 

All credit to the club for acknowledging that they made a major mistake initially; the taste of humble pie is far preferable to the taste of prawn sandwiches.

That's one tradition maintained, now all they have to do is ensure that no morons are allowed onto the pitch after the match on Saturday.

 

We all know that the latter will never happen. Even a full cordon of police and stewards wouldn't stop them, not that we have enough to do that. Given that most run on from the Ponty End though they could reinforce the wall there though, surely?

Actually you know, I wonder if the problem may be that stewards are not allowed to physically restrain minors, for fear of being sued for inappropriate behaviour? It's possible I suppose. This is why we need a collapsible fence (like Wembley) or a nine foot pit round the pitch. Full of dirty water.

 

Well done to the club on listening.

However, we've been through this before when they tried it and people complained.

 

I would rather it wasn't moved to later time. Game too important to interfere with pre match preparation. Its a potential distraction.

I won't be there as I really couldn't care less and didn't have an issue with it being at the dinner but judging by the reaction on here I'd expect lots of people at their seats clapping

 

Why not think a little differently, and still make the usual announcement along the lines of "Please don't go onto the pitch at the end of the game", which I know will have little or no effect; let the morons (and despite what you say, they are not all minors, far from it) go onto the pitch, and once they are on there surround the pitch with stewards/police and arrest them for what is a criminal offence when they eventually come off. Then charge them with said offence and hopefully obtain a banning order. If that were to happen, I'd suggest the pitch would be a fan-free area at the end of next season.

 

And piranhas/sharks in the moat. Although that might not be cost-effective to need a new ball every time it went out of play.

 

traditionally, the winners take a moment out of the warm up to collect their awards and pose for a picture. Then go back to embarrassing themselves with willd shots into row z of ponty. I enjoy watching the awards, this season it will feel a bit more special and well earned, not just being for the least ***** player at the club. Cooerse, that extra pint in the pub is more important to a lot.

 

And so would the ground...

Lets ban folk and lose three years of season ticket revenue.

Cracking idea that.

 

Or maybe we should just ban the mindless minority and let the rest of the fans (95%+) enjoy the end of season celebrations with the team.
