I've no real idea what 'woke' means. Ditto 'gas lighting'. Electric lighting I'm OK with. the way you bang on about your age sometimes I'd have thought you'd remember gas lights I do! |

You have my sympathy nws. I expect my club to be welcoming and accommodating at all times. You could gave gone to Bearsted, Snodland, Larkfield and Lordswood in the same circumstances and you would have been made 100% welcome, no question. It's not a question of what time the gates should be manned, it's much more about being flexible, friendly and accommodating. Simply needs a 'Can do' approach. Such a pity you get these jobsworths who simply have a bad attitude. They wouldn't fit or last long in any of the local community clubs. In his ideal world NWS still wants to be going to those places. I still don’t get why he expects the club to leave someone outside the ground for latecomers. It wasn’t their fault the traffic was bad. Seems to me some people are looking for any excuse to beat the club up. So, with crowds of 2k+ you have nobody keeping an eye on outside during HT? Bizarre. We used to because people like you tried to make a big deal about me coming in at HT. That aside, my main gripe was the 'do you want us to throw you out' remark. BTW I way, I made the 5hrs each way trip to Torquay. Despite your great desire to go to bigger grounds and my desire to go to smaller ones, I didn't see you there |

I think it is reasonable for a cold booth not to be manned that late. Some people may need to leave after the game starts and there is always a steward manning the big gate that is opened for wheel chairs, I don't see why we would need more than that. As with wheel chairs his attention is drawn by rapping on the door.
I can only conclude that hb got the reception he did because he was recognised.

An amusing thought perhaps
But I'm still inclined to the view that the official was an unfriendly jobsworth.

Why can we not have one member of staff outside the ground at HT? Why there is even debate about this is beyond me |
