The turnstiles in the DRS were a bit of a joke again today. We got in fairly early and was still causing queues. One old boy who sits in the row in front was complaining when he arrived that it took him longer to queue than it did to walk to the ground, and several others also complaining.
Was only 2 sets of turnstiles open in DR, I arrived around 245 and the queues were long to say the least. A lot of fans complaining, I heard one ask one of the blue coats as to why there was so few open to the reply of 'don't know mate'. I suspect it is to do with not having the staff to sit on the turnstiles, probably employing less agency staff to save money |

Careful, you will have the anti Orange hat brigade telling you that there is nothing wrong. Nothing to see here... |

It's quite laughable that he feels the need to take the owner to other clubs in order to highlight that you shouldn't run out of tea bags at half times, or put wall paint on the floor. (amongst many many other things)

It's so depressing ffs
We were reminiscing last night about the 12/13 season yesterday, specifically the 5-0, 5-0, 4-0 over the Christmas period.
Only Swindon Town could finally end up with a rich owner who couldn't give a toss about football and jack it all in halfway through a season, still feeling the effects of it now ffs

Maybe Holloway should just arrange a meeting between Clem and Elon Musk. Why buy Liverpool when we are available? 😂

Going through old programmes in the loft over Christmas. Makes you realise how depressing this is. Reading the Arsenal League Cup Quarter Final home one. Had a knot in the stomach. Getting older and crave for another shot at the good times. |

James Spencer, who is now Vice Chair of the OSC has posted on Facebook telling fans to stop moaning as the club did their best.
And whilst the groundstaff and the behind the scenes staff absolutely get top marks for getting the game on yesterday he can't seriously think the club 'ACTUALLY' did their best? You only have to see the complaints raised to Bennett/Trust about multiple issues.

I think the club possibly did their best under a short timescale, I have a feeling they thought the game would be called off so put no resources into making it safe. They should have prepared it far more in advance than they did but that would have meant paying someone for the time to clean and salt the area fully when the game was still very much in doubt at 12pm. |

Are Spencer's comments made in his capacity of vice chairman of the OSC or his own personal view 🤔
If he has "ambushed" the OSC to lobby on behalf of the current owner(s) this needs to be pointed out accordingly.

You can't fuck around doing your best where health and safety is concerned.
The drs was amateur hour yesterday, and i mean no disrespect to the people who clearly put a lot of last minute work in.
