I'd also be an idiot to remain silent and not to offer constructive comments to explain why I didn't go to the match on Saturday, which is what I was trying to do.
The club has got a lot going for it, and the facilities are better than many away grounds I have visited (eg Leigh RMI - a vision of hell!). The clubhouse is very comfortable, especially now it has been extended. The seating is adequate and offers protection from the elements.
The team play reasonably well - they havent made a bad start to the season, despite the disappointing results against Exeter and Cambridge).
The website is excellent (thanks to Rob and Kipax) and won a prize last year did it not?
But the club doesn't have a god given right to expect people to attend. My comments about the entrance charges, prices in the bar and quality of service are intended to be constructive. Unfortunalely, I have been complaining about the quality of service for a couple of seasons, but it always seems to fall on deaf ears. Why can't someone realise that there will be short periods where the bar is mad busy. (eg at half time and for 10/15 minutes after the game.) For those periods, flood the bar with extra staff, even if it is volunteer staff who you can trust to use the till.
