The General C. Krulak Thread XVI

[PeterWithesShin]

From what I can gather they are aged 15-40, and it's worth mentioning they are totally anti fascist and anti racist.

............but 100% pro Villa.

I am hoping that the club backs them.

General,
Will we be contacting small heath about their ticket prices for the Carling cup quarter final match?
You can almost bet your life they will be charging us the usual £40 or so which generally goes unpunished by the football authorities. This is one of the few chances they get to fill their ground and we always seem to be a nice cash injection for them.

As opposed to the forty or so we charge them?

[The Situation]

So? They're small heath and have made us looked like mugs with ticket prices ever since they came up to the Premier League. It's only in the last year we've given a slice of what they gave us for several years.

As has been said on many occasions, just because they do it doesn't make it right. In any case, the people who set the prices don't have to pay them and it's the ordinary supporters, like us, who suffer.

This is a unique opportunity to speak directly with a shareholder of a Premier League Club.

The Man did not have to volunteer for the "stocks". (he might not understand that) and be subjected to the vegetable or verbal-  detritus thrown by the masses whilst tied on a wooden cross as in previous centuries.

I am sure does understand now.

Please respect the fact that a Director of our Club allowed himself to be as open as he can within the confines of legal fudiciary obligations. Cannot we please direct questions on a level cognisent with his station. Ie: the guy cannot give us the comparitive price of pies or beer.

IMHO some questions are fine but on this particular thread: keep it mature.

i don't remember you being appointed a moderator.

When did that happen?

[Bad English]

Blimey! He hasn't been appointed Purveyor of HM Royal Engerlish either.

A moderator wouldn't come out with a statement as pompous as Simba's.

That is spelled MON not Man and he wasn't the Messiah.

[Ad@m]

General - there was an incident today that really wound me and a lot of other people in the ground up.

I think it was towards the end of the first half, a ball was played out near the half way line.  A fella in the Witton Lane Stand jumped to head the ball and fell over the advertising boards to a loud cheer and general good humour from the crowd.  He got up, clearly pretty embarrassed, a punched the air with his fists before climbing back over the advertising boards to take his place again.

At this point about four massively over-zealous stewards barged over, grabbed him, and dragged him off to the concourse area, presumably to throw him out.  I was viewing all this from the Lower Holte so don't know if they followed through with this.  There was a huge reaction from the people in the stand around the incident who also thought the stewards were out of order.

The guy was doing no harm and just having a bit of fun.  He didn't enter the playing area (which I know is a criminal offence) and the fact he ended up the wrong side of the advertising boards was an accident which gave everyone a giggle.  I can't believe that in any other scenario it would be appropriate for staff to treat customers (as we all are) in such a way.  A bit of common sense on the stewards behalf was all that was needed.

Is this something you could flag with the head steward (if there is such a person?!) please?

[Legion]

General, Ad@m has beaten me to it and put it very eloquently indeed.

[ckrulak]

General Krulak here:

1.  The game:  There is really not much to say about it.  In many ways, it reminded me of a superbowl game in the US...sometimes they are so conservative that they don't produce the game expected.  Having some key players out made a difference and probably caused GH to alter his tactics a bit but...it was a conservatively played game on both sides.  There were some flashes of brilliance but, at the end of the day, a tie.  We are the better team and we need to show that the next two times we play them.

General,

I too witnessed this incident from the "Doug Ellis Upper Stand" and was disgusted by the actions of the stewards.If this is the way supporters are to be treated it is not surprising we struggle to fill our stadium.
