Great stuff. Good luck.

Ticketing issues at Liverpool, Sours and Chelsea all have recently - as pointed out on @BSLBPod.

I'd say our ticket office was run by robots, bit robots make logical decisions.

I don't use this word lightly but... they are disgusting.

Fixed.

Came through all the right pathways, went to one of the right schools. Strange.

Got him and Harris in my fantasy team. Think DBD is one who'd have played 50 times for England in any other era. Reckon I'd declare for the West Indies right now if I was him.

Having a day out today.

Head up to Thomas Street, near the Guinness Brewery. Nice vibe and cheaper than Temple Bar. Black Horse is a must for pub interior fans. Old Vic's worth popping in if you're coming from the station. Guild Ale House is good too. Father-in-law's mate runs it.

Is it every game? So far as I recall it's been the very occasional Saturday? The club have to try something, given all counties are wrongly being increasingly judged on their financial value over the other benefits they bring to the English game.

I don't get what the issue is. A membership is a stake in the club, not just its value for attendance, surely? You're constantly on about low attendances yet when the club try something to boost that, it's not right either. A guy on another thread mentioned it was his first game because of the offer. He bought some beers and indicated he'll be back again. Even if it was a handful like him, that's a handful that would have spent their cash elsewhere. I'd be intrigued to know what other initiatives you think could work to solve a problem that, let's be honest, isn't unique to Leicestershire?

Never understood why they'd set up a Plastic Paddy type place there when you've got a genuine Irish-run boozer round the back.

Land of Hope & Glory being blasted out during a pitch invasion while the game's still officially going on.

Mate who plays at Sileby told me he reckons they're struggling till mid-May after the flooding.

Bradfield Farmers Blonde. Just trying a tin of Brewgooder Lager now, reminds me of the Sicilian edition Moretti did that seems to have been discontinued - nice citrusy vibe.

Bit of both, I think. Even if it was hoooung about I think we still struggle to take 20 wickets with today's attack.

Reading are always held up as ultimate anti-Footybanterawaydayslad club and look at what they've been doing this season - tennis balls, pitch invasions, getting games called off in protest. Most of our fanbase donnot have that in them.

- Free entry - Players playing for the badge - A club who actually want you there if you can't commit to paying for a membership What's not to like?

Plenty there who'd clap the present board onto the boardroom.

Pleased the ones who clapped had such a nice time x

Why would the club refund the fans who clapped them off after that? They clearly felt they got their money's worth tonight...

Not so much for the ones who abused those daring to criticise the performance at full-time.

200 new members in the paet couple of weeks. Join them and you could end up dealing with people who will listen and change stuff. What's the alternative?

Then join and change that.
