MKdons about to become Kuwaitdons.

FFS, that will be an away trip and a half....although still easier than driving across the 40,000,000 roundabouts they have in MK

I went to Gills in September 2000. Lost 1-0, terrible performance, sat in their "temporary" stand behind the one goal. Wolverhampton city centre gets a lot of flak, most of it justified, but it's got nothing on fucking Gillingham.

24 years later and the "temporary" stand is still there.

 

[Kenny]

On the point of visiting Gillingham

If you went to the game that we lost 1-0 and sacked Jones after and one of these things happened to you

1) Your lovely white coat somehow got a load of steak pie down the back of it.
2) You got hit on the head by a pie falling from the temp stand as you walked under it.

I apologise.

But who makes the money here? Stubhub or the club? Aren’t the secondary sellers just paying face value and then trying to profit from there?

Yeah that's just resellers, the club aren't putting stuff on stubhub

 

[Tony Towner]

No, but they are selling expensive tickets to none season ticket holders who are, which then goes to tourists who spend more on the day than the typical fan. Everton could sell 10k more per game to genuine fans, they don't want to

They could've tested every ground during the summer ready for this and used it in live friendlies.

AFAIK it is Hawkeye who are monitoring the system. Not like they're new to the game.

Webb is a complete wanker.
