Enough is enough

I've been going to Pools for as long as I can remember, the old man used to take me along when i must've only been 5ish.

Now i'm 25 and got another baby on the way so money is a bit tight. Normally i'd make ends meet and make sure i had my money for pools but the way we are at the minute I can't justify shelling out the 20 quid to go in, the 20 quid before the game, the bus fare from Seaham and back. It's pretty much £50 quid just for me to go. When we were shiit before I could always justify it by it only being cheap to get in. Now we're hitting the prices that some premier league teams charge I just can't justify it unless it's going to be worthwhile.

With Wilson there this season: It's not worthwhile, some of the players earn twice or 3 times my monthly wage in a week. If none of them can be bothered then why do they deserve my £20 gate money?

IOR need to sort this out and sharpish, they left Scotty too long and look what happened.

Somebody better start caring soon, or the ground will have tumbleweeds rolling across it and the majority of the crowd will consist of people listening on the internet.
