I’d kindly suggest you never donate to anything related to Prostate C fella if that’s your level of empathy.

It’s a shame a mod gets so wound up, over the deficiencies of this forum being pointed out, they resort to that sort of response.

Anyway back to this Rochdale ticket thread eh?

There is an edit facility after posting at the top of the post if you’d bothered to look or maybe check your post through before posting? Just saying.

Which can only be used for a limited time after posting….

That’s a very a very unique ‘feature’.

Apologies for pointing out it’s a substandard forum.

Something else which is substandard is my bladder, due to post P.C, meaning multiple visits to the loo in the night. I’m definitely at the mercy of spelling police and the warts on this forum on here on those occasions.

Just saying….

Just the truth – you don’t like it do you?

As I also said above – it’s shouldn’t be a surprise as the same occured last year.

I predicted it would happen two weeks ago on here. If this forum was any good you’d be able to search for what I wrote.

You seem to have plenty of time to argue nonsensical arguments – have a search.

The only people I really feel sorry for are the ST who missed out due to not receiving the link and code or those aged or vulnerable ones not able to use them.

If you did miss out CMC (and you attend matches unlike some on here) befriend a ST for next season would be my advice….

Like I said last night was my first home game of the season.

Wow

You have such strong views of everything Iron, live in the town and don’t attend?

Is there a section on this clunky forum where only opinions of people who attend can be read?

PS neither club will much care how all these tickets are sold especially with the right timescales – apart from ensuring their most loyal fans being taken care of. The extra five is definitely questionable though.

Not sure this method should be a surprise though. The same happened at the playoffs last year.

There’ll be loads floating about at FB for those keen to go on FB.

[Simonsays]

Six per ST seems excessive however comparing this game with the York League match and then blaming, solely, the Iron seems a little odd.

Remember this is considered a cup game so we get offered up to 25% of capacity and much tighter sale timescales.

The decision to offer six was, in all probability, a joint club decision which was then communicated to Fanbase.

[Simonsays]

Multiple Rochdale tickets able to be bought per each ST.

Enough to go to GS?

[Simonsays]

Did your shareholder mate not tell you about the Moody quote?

[Simonsays]

Get yourself some shares folks then you’ll hear about, amongst other things, the plans for the perimeter wall, the 70% successful Premier League fund for the pitch, the sale of the two strips of land and the loan of the carpark for a little longer.

For the entirety of the time you have been on here, I have seen you deliberately try to provoke, others then get provoked and then you play the innocent victim afterwards of ‘nasty Bru pile ons’ which correspond to one or two poking at you.

Hardly.

It’s called perspective.

Some main protagonists on here seem extremely triggered when gently challenged about, for instance, non Iron Trust groups or non Iron Bru forums aren’t the root of all evil – it certainly doesn’t generate the warmest of welcomes.

Bringing supporters groups and forums together would seem to most (rather than old men name calling) might seem a better way forward than a forum which is slowly dying.

What does surprise me is other supporters groups haven’t tried to throw the sort of cow muck around thats been flung on here at the Iron Trusts board members.

Credit to them I say.

They’re both fruit cakes SS so I guess that’s the suggestion. You’ll get used to what passes for humour on here the longer you stay. Don’t take offence, none intended I’m sure.

Thanks for the help in untangling such a cryptic response.

So far, in the week or so I’ve created an account, I’ve been called half a dozen names by a couple of legacy members on here.

Luckily am pretty thick skinned and I’ve witnessed the pile ons, without an account, for years by certain characters.

It’s little wonder this tired, old clunky forum gets little fresh blood and tends to limp along with such a dreppesive narrative running through a lot of the threads.

Whilst there are definitely some words and punctuation within this sentence any meaning is tough to ascertain.

Please don’t use this sort of stuff on any cover letter should you go for the job.

I’d prefer them to play on the sandpit – gives us more time to let the pitch bed in. Last thing I want to see is the pitch being farmed out all May/June. One dislocated knee from a pro would eat through all the income

This is an excellent point!

Last season the same final was played on our ground in-between our home playoff games.

Still nothing to see.

If you think something is untoward ask your insider SS.

Thanks for the update – it’s good to see we seem to have local County Cup finalists back to back.

By the way – my ‘moving the goalposts’ was another too subtle quip for you.

I’d slow down and maybe have alternate days in attack mode fella if I were you.

The semis were played on the 1st of March the final on 12th of April.
That was a long enough wait as it was.
Nothing to see, and in this case the club just helping out the county association, to be fair nice to be asked with the state it’s been in.

Never used to be the case.

Local league matches always had to wait until season end years ago and eventually didn’t they price themselves out of using it for local league and also that local marathon that was held there at season end?

Something maybe has changed (£££?) – or maybe I’ve missed it in previous recent seasons or maybe local teams haven’t reached the county cup finals?

[Simonsays]

An insider tells me one of the main reasons for the re-advertising is that contractually they keep moving the goal posts.

[Simonsays]

Anyone else find it weird they had a local league final there before the season end recently?

Thought they always tended to wait until season end to offer it up?

I take it your referring to PD and Stu about not being able to get a ticket again.lol.

TBH id forgotten about the later! 😊

I can remember, back in the day, ‘huge fans who’d been following them since 1654 (but not been able to get to a game recently)’ coming out of the woodwork and having their angst written letters printed in The Scunthorpe Telegraph.

Happens every season when success means tickets are in short supply.

😂

[Simonsays]

Minded to agree that we’ve not been playing well lately so probably doubtful we’ll progress.

As you say, hope we’re both wrong and we can string some one off performances together to bookend a brilliant season.

PS be careful using words like ‘loose’ and ‘there’ (rather than ‘lose’ and ‘their’) on here – the resident, self imposed, academics on this thread will have you hung, drawn and quartered rather than focusing on the contents of your replies 👍 😂

[Simonsays]

PS off thread but regarding ticket sales for the play offs – it’ll be interesting to see how many tickets ST holders can purchase this time around for sales controlled by The Iron.

Wasn’t it, a maximum, of four for the final last season? That caused some to lose their minds.

I can’t recall if this was open to only 24/25 ST holders or if it was also extended to new Early Bird purchasers of 25/26 ST too.

Hopefully we get to the point of, close to, full houses and if so it’ll only be a matter of weeks before we’re reading that someone whose followed them since 1654 can’t get a ticket.

Your incredibly clever banter of course implies the Iron will have a home play off game. Sadly by no means certain or even likely according to 2 or 3 of our more pessimistic posters.

Hopefully we’ll continue to pick up points and stay fifth and be playing, at GP, on Tues 28th against 6th.

Weirdly that’ll be disappointing to some reading this.

Am glad you, personally, didn’t miss the inference for missing the games within the thread topic Deerey.

Predictably the other replies did in their haste to join another, infamous, predictable and parochial Iron Bru pile on.

Maybe I’ll have to be less subtle in future and resort to name-calling as per others.

Want to have the choice to see the playoffs? (as well as every other game for years and years) – then act accordingly, don’t be dim and don’t get yourself banned.

😂

[Simonsays]

Aye. Pretty dim. I’ll be at those playoffs though – unlike some others 😂

[Simonsays]

Imagine having your feelings hurt by my OP so much that you need to base, such a poorly punctuated and condescending response, around vocab.

Was this, allegedly, drunk and serial abusive, angry banned man one of your drinking buddies or just one of your forum frrrrieennnddds?

😂

[Simonsays]

The premise of the thread (have a re-read of the OP) would seem to be criticism that AB was stroking PDs ego not the other way around.

I guess you not trusting someone, without any real evidence, is on you – little point arguing with that. PD seems a decent and harmless character to me (looking on from afar).

Funds – absolutely no idea. Possibly one to raise at the shareholders meeting – if you’re going?

It’s undeniable though that the Unity Group has ruffled feathers.

Their existence, their members, their fund raising, their location at the ground, their access to the board, just about everything seems to hack some on here off.

Scrutiny is one thing – outright jealousy another.

Onwards and something different – let’s hope them down the M180 get a stuffing tonight.

[Simonsays]

Am pretty sure I read that of the mods on here called someone I don’t know ‘poison’ earlier today.

Ironically on a thread where they, the mod, were seemingly trying to explain that name calling someone was the threshold for booting them off.

I almost spat my toast out.

It would be bloody scary!

I definitely notice more pile ons on here.

Take this thread. The first page is almost entirety anti PD and AB – lots of comments and lots of likes before anyone comes in and gives the topic some balance.

This carries through to how the club is run and, recently, how funds are raised.

I’m definitely pro people having diverse opinions but a huge amount of this seems to be legacy members of ‘rival’ supporters clubs (which, rivalry, is ridiculous anyway) seemingly being jealous of how funds are raised and how much influence they may or may not now have.

There is definitely some envy involved.

[Simonsays]

Another for Rowley here.

Whilst Roberts has scored some absolute worldies again (and kept fit all season – well done the Irons fitness side) I can’t look past Roberts knee jerk tendancy to repeatedly blame others around him when he makes a mistake. That’s a no, no as a team player especially as VC.
