With any change it takes ages to bed in and become routine. Unfortunately we live in a world where we expect everything to instantly work absolutely perfectly, which ofc is not realistic.

It is definitely quicker, easier, more straight forward to share tickets and no risk of losing it. I did NFC the first season it was rolled out in 22/23 and it was very good, like a breath of fresh air. Switched back to physical in 23/24 mainly due to my dad who I got to games with being a typical 'resistant to any change' type of person. Back to the old micro annoyances of having one now. But the £25 fee is a really low blow from them.

Totally wrong. IIRC 16k physical cards against 23k sth’s. We had the banner by UFS at the last 23/24 home game plus some rip roaring statements by them. Whisper it but I think even the foxes trust protested!! The only way to not be ‘spineless’ if you don’t like lcfc is to give up all interaction, or lead the reform, which very few on here will do

Same. Surprisingly really enjoyed it. There’s a lot of skilled jobs there so I bet it’s a decent place to live

Asking for chips and getting crisps. Quite annoying things you do abroad

Always thought buying a coffee out was a fantastic marketing ploy bought from the USA, similar to soft drinks, to get people to waste more of their money. flogging flavoured hot water that you can easily make at home. But I thought surely the numbers don’t stack up? Coincidentally on Tuesday I was in Amsterdam and I went to one of these hip espresso cafes where they ‘create a community no phones etc etc give me all your money silly people’ that my friend bought. Turns out the numbers do really add up!!! From flogging 8 different types of hot drink and a few pastries over 5 days a week. Mad

It's London, we'll have a decent number of fans based there plus the pull of a day out

How much of that is paying city fans tho. From early on you could see neat chunks of seats taken out. Ofc the odd single, pair or block of 3 are genuine buyers, but I’d wager we take about 500 paying fans to this

Jam pot

Arguably the same as us. And ticket office shambles have introduced measures like ID checks at away games, so it would be easy for them to have nfc tickets ‘mandated by the host club’

Surprised we haven’t been forced into it at away games. Everton supporting acquaintance was saying Man U away was mandatory nfc ticketing for them, and they expect the same at Liverpool. One good thing from our ‘ticket office shambles’ if they are pushing back against this

Fair point, I just can’t wrap my head round what the new info the study is trying to achieve which is my issue. Ps would recommend reading the latest thematic review on CFDs in the uk, really good working paper, I’ll be using it as a cut out and keep… https://www.frc.org.uk/news-and-events/news/2025/01/frc-reviews-climate-related-financial-disclosures-cfd-by-aim-and-large-private-companies/

What is reality? If not a combination of our various distorted events, projections, imaginations, ingrained biases and past experiences to create said 'reality.' Ironically you post a study on a scenario analysis, I think any reasonable base case conclusion from analysis of previous posts would result in - sensitive. Of course what you think is relevant, otherwise you are just Phil Bowman with a JSTOR account learning how to copy/paste. And the bumbling buffoon, loveable rogue that he is, would end up putting a laughing emoji on his own comment. I don't like that a study would leave out 2 SSPs, given as I am sure you know, SSPs deal with more than climate outcomes. You say the study is regarding the 'role of adaptation', but you've listed loads of mitigation strategies above. I agree with you on the role of both, but it just adds to the confusion on the direction of your paper. IMO the best thing for effective adaptation is financing. You haven't mentioned green bonds, climate-linked loans, green assets or the huge problem of insurance. BTW before you flip your lid I'm not having a go at you. We're clearly coming at this from different angles. Yours being theoretical and mine being what a reasonably mature client would want to see in a scenario analysis with interpreted results.

I am not ok, I am fearful for your overly sensitive soul. Also on topic, why do you think a paper only considering 3 of the SSPs is in any way relevant? What new info do you think this is showing given the context in which pretty much all mitigation scenarios are calculated with the commonly worked with 5 SSPs? What preventative measures are worthwhile at scale?

The frequency with which Phil Bowman laugh emoji'd other posts was impressive though. I thought I was special in that he only emoji'd my posts, but then looking back through a thread he had emoji'd lots of posts. I never took it as immature/annoying, it's a forum for passing time whilst on MS Teams meetings. But then with gullible and exploitable posters like SpaceX showing their hyper sensitive sides, it's probably too good to resist the emoji. Dagger and Miquel Geordie used to tie people up in knots.

Careful, don't comment on something that doesn't involve you lest you incur the wrath of the paper-skinned Donald Trump/SpaceX offering a line by line garbled rebuttal of your post. He's really chill and zen LOL. I also assume Phil Bowman is banned from posting, he used to put laughing emojis on loads of my posts and it was always really satisfying. Then he stopped, I DM'd him to check he was ok but no reply. I said in another thread that it was good to see him back reacting to posts after I got a laugh a few days ago.

You're letting an anonymous poster on a football forum get under your skin by putting an emoji on your comments, and disparagingly and disrespectfully giving them fuel by calling them 'rather dumb.' It's incredibly naive and gullible. Then you proceed to throw some friendly fire at me lol. Settle down, we got 3 points today. Phil bowman has not made a comment since on this forum since August 2023.

And this post shows exactly why short term investments never pay off

It’s the same as Phil bowman reacting to many posts but never commenting. It’s hardly worth getting disparaging and disrespectful about, it’s endearing

I can watch my local step 5 team and can/have gone home to have a dump at ht and get back in time for the second half. Not the same as following your own team

Yep, three of us did this one year, went in one after the other (with a 15 min break between each) with the same stubs to log priority. Remember Chelsea away in the league cup halloween 2007 was a prized stub

Pre premier league priority seems like an age ago. Used to go in to the store with your away match ticket stubs from the past season for them to log. I remember dropping my West ham ticket from October 2011 in the urinals at Upton park, soaked in p1ss, but fished it out for this purpose

Yeh, STH should be the minimum bar to clear to get away tickets, then priority starts with how many away games you attended last season, reset every summer. So top priority is STH with 23 away games in 23/24 etc etc.

Us get relegated

We charged £10, not £61, for a comparable fixture! FA cup 3rd round match v QPR
