I'll chip in a few quid to help Bournemouth with the fee.

C0cks

😂 Backpass rule only one that stands out. It's only been 30 odd years since then, give them a chance

Seriously??? You want it to look at MORE incidents 😂😂😂😂

The same **** managers players and fans who moaned at and blamed referees for everything and demanded technology be implemented, now do the very same thing at the Var operators. Some people just whine and make excuses. I've ranted enough about var now so I will stop but I really really hate it and it needs to go!

The refs have too much power????? They are supposed to have power and be in charge of the game. They have always been in charge of the match. That's as it should be. I despise var with a passion and whist refs aren't perfect, In fact some are downright poor, I believe that 99.9% of them are honest, in this country at least (conspiracy theorists- kindly f**k off before you start). I can live with an honest mistake. It's always been a part of the game. As someone said earlier var takes more away from the game than it adds, especially as a match going fan.

Ha ha ha. I know this feeling. No interest or ability in maths at school but I could look at a football league table and tell you all the permutations for relegation and promotion for all the teams involved

Not the same club set up as here but saw this on the BBC . Fair play. I'm guessing most fans here would reject it too if we had enough sway. As a side note....check out the stands!!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/videos/c6pyp32n198o

No var. No tech. Down to ref and linos (yes linos, not assistants) only. Football became the most popular game on the planet without these things. We already moan about lack of atmosphere at games. A goal check and muted cheer after a check only makes it worse.

I've always said I can live with honest reffing errors. They might hurt at the time but overall they even themselves out over the course of a season. Even though it helped us win the cup I would still do away with it

Best thing I've heard regarding the premier league for a long time, if it's correct. Get rid. Sucks the joy out of the game

No, Use pride park. It's closer to you and there's little or no difference in the level of dislike.....oh by the way, tell us about 1980 again....it's so long since I heard that story from a forest fan

This is why safe standing is imperative in my eyes. Then NOBODY can ask you to sit down. If they do they will get a two word answer. I despise sitting at football, always have, it hasn't changed with age. Standing is more conducive to singing and atmosphere and like minded individuals are more likely to choose tickets in those standing areas. Two birds with one stone and all that.. But we need the club to have an interest in safe standing. I have sent an email as suggested on here but large numbers of mails are needed to show a genuine interest in standing and singing section.

Thank you. I often say I'll complain or send an email, but this time I will.

I think there has to be a mix of both members and season ticket holders. Safe standing would be a huge step in the right direction. I think it would force "sitters" to move. Thanks for explaining

I understand. I did think about that after you pointed it out. Anyone in particular you'd recommend.

Fair comment. The intention wasnt to blame you if it read that way. It's just frustrating.

I know us members are second class citizens. But there has to be some tickets left for us. You won't encourage new young fans or fans who can't get a season ticket yet if there isn't availability and it won't grow as you'd like, over time without those young fans. And members are keen to make noise too. I, along with numerous others, don't want to sit/stand anywhere else. At the minute we have to spend our lives on the internet waiting for cast offs that are resold

Agreed. Fully

Yeah I've seen stuff like that. Usually there for the bar or because "they've always gone to the city" and it's just habit

I'd be more than willing to go there to try and expand it. But if only a handful are standing and singing you get the usual "sit down" shouts and you either get into a row or sit down. As a dad I'd rather my kids didn't see me get in a row. So it will take larger numbers to make a stand. It's asking a lot of people who are creatures of habit but if you don't want to stand and sing....move. it's a 32k stadium and if you are a season ticket holder i understand it is easy to relocate.

Yeah I don't like sitting elsewhere. First I want to stand. L1 stands but more interested in pretending to be hooligans and shouting and looking at away fans than singing and watching the game. P is getting better and I'll go there at a push but really if I can't get in sk1 I know it wont be a great day. And I'll be ****ed if I'm paying the best part of 50 notes to sit quietly in the west stand

Lots of members like to make a noise, like myself and daughter and we always stand in sk1. However, even at 15 plus points we couldn't get in for last few home games, west brom, Southampton Blackburn. There needs to be more availability to members....it is no coincidence that when away games have gone to members the atmosphere has been good and noise made. Also brum home in the cup. Lots of members want to create an atmosphere and are often keener to get involved than possibly stale season ticket holders. Any season ticket holder who doesn't want to sing should move out of sk1 and let members and future season ticket holders contribute. Ufs....great work by the way

Dogshit idea. The game has been ruined enough.
