What a fucking shitty thing to say.

An honest question, not many people have 300 quid lying around just do be in that sweaty costume.. I'll start reeling the line in soon dw.

I'm not worried mush. It says more about your own ignorance and prejudice than anything else. Have a good day. :)

You made that easy Aber gas. You're only a small one though tbf.

Most Grimsby fans are too poor to afford the internet, so they might not see the op.

Just catching up on this thread...

Yep, you can now pay £3.50 to charge your phone at Field Mill!

...absolutely scandalous. THREE POUNDS FIFTY for something that uses less than half a penny's worth of electricity?! Bravo Mansfield, that's some markup you fleecing bastards. You know someone has sat round a table and posed the question "how much can we get away with charging them for this?"

As this is a disposable item, I doubt the electric charge is the most significant manufacturing cost involved.

The R&D, staff costs, tax, materials, manufacturing, distribution, packaging, advertising, legal costs and profit margin will all be included in that £3.50.

As for the ethics of a one-time use disposable battery, it's a disgusting landfill-fodder product, and you'll never see me with one.

Glad to see Southport's tickets are as factually accurate as last year (when they printed the wrong date for the game) - this time, they've got the date right, but the kick off time wrong :)

We go one step further and don't even know what league we are playing in, i was clearing the junk out of my wallet earlier and noticed this on the top right hand corner of the Morecambe tickets:

We spent 6 years trying to get out of the hell hole but now we just can't let go!

As well as that when i went to get the Morecambe tickets which was about a week and half before the match the silly cow in the ticket office printed me off tickets for Leyton Orient instead and it was only as i went to put them in the glove box that i noticed, otherwise i would have turned up for the first game and not been let in!

Did they have the vanarama thing on too?

I presume it's just a case of trying to save some money by using up stock before starting on the new ones

I didn't notice i just went back and swapped them but i would guess so.

Maybe a good bit of pre-planning if we carry on playing like we did in the first half at Colchester!

Woking's PA last night was pretty tinpot. Managed to mispronounce a load of our players (even though most are easy) and I think he even got some of theirs wrong! Jack Caprice?

First time I've heard that guy. You would think he would at least check the pronouciation before the match. Trying to sound enthusiastic just didn't suit him either.

Not even surprised. Our club is a joke at the moment.
