Title: Spare a Thought for the Staff Post by: lambourn red on Thursday, December 6, 2007, 21:35:57 Having worked behind the bar in the players bar for 4 years in the mid 90's I know that a lot of the staff are fans as well as employees and lots of them are still their. Think how these people are feeling not only have they lost their club they have lost their jobs as well. :cry:

Title: Spare a Thought for the Staff Post by: janaage on Thursday, December 6, 2007, 21:45:40 I like the scots bloke in the ticket office. In fact I might even have a wander up tomorrow and wish the bloke well. As I won't be buying anymore tickets - well it's looking that way now.

I actually had a dream once where I was playing for town, we were 1-0 down and I scored, but went a bit mental with the celebrations and got sent off. Then I went to an underground pub and got battered whilst watching the rest of the game on the telly. Is it like that? Please say it's like that.

Title: Spare a Thought for the Staff Post by: janaage on Thursday, December 6, 2007, 21:55:02 The players bar is a disgrace, it hasn't even got a bar in it anymore. A players lounge is a better description.

Feels like there are secounds of injury time left and we are 1-0 down - we need a super sub from somewhere - come on Sir Seton, get the white horse out the fucking stables, grow a pair of bollocks and do something you can be proud of man Title: Re: Spare a Thought for the Staff Post by: lambourn red on Thursday, December 6, 2007, 21:56:23 Quote from: "flammableBen" Quote from: "lambourn red" Having worked behind the bar in the players bar for 4 years in the mid 90's I know that a lot of the staff are fans as well as employees and lots of them are still their.

I could certainly tell you some stories about the players bar, the worst was when Mcmaon was their, the first thing he did was to separate the home and away players into different bars. We got beat by Portsmouth 1 0 and Alan Mac scored the winner, he came in the home bar as a guest of Digby and Mcmahon who had his own personal bar came storming in and had Alan Mac chucked out by security, he was a nasty piece of work. and no it is not like an underground bar although it is hardly plush!!

Title: Spare a Thought for the Staff Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, December 6, 2007, 22:07:07 I doubt many have been fans for 120 years, but on a related note, is Dick Mattick still about?
I've got the second edition of this book about the history of the club. Re-released just as we were going into our Premier League season. It's pretty interesting. Definately a recommended read. It might be good for the last 15 years to be written up and added in at the end for a third edition. Title: Spare a Thought for the Staff Post by: juddie on Thursday, December 6, 2007, 22:11:03 hear hear, I know you're angry fred, but some of these guys do support the club as well as work there, most of them come on here - I know cos I workd with them. For them this is a job as well as the club... they have everything to lose.

Hes a top man
Title: Spare a Thought for the Staff Post by: janaage on Thursday, December 6, 2007, 22:26:26 That'll be a bit emotional saying cheerio to that old fella. I bet he's put up with a lot of shit when people have been queuing for an hour and he's the only one on the front line.
Title: Spare a Thought for the Staff Post by: juddie on Thursday, December 6, 2007, 22:26:57 Dick Mattick does still go, home and away I believe. There's a guy, forget hi name, who is on about his 1400th consecutive game... he'd be lost on a saturday if this goes tits up.
