Season tickets next season - what will they do?

[Jimbo]

Whilst it's undoubtedly a kick in the nuts to anyone with a season ticket up there, in the past couple of months it's been incredibly sparse up there - anyone sitting there has pretty much had a block to themselves.

So given we'll probably struggle to average 30,000 next season it makes sense to start off with it shut.  I'm sure if we actually manage to sort our shit out and start romping the league, the fans will return and the club will reopen it.  I know that won't help season ticket holders who've moved but it's not a permanent closure.

How about getting an exciting new manager, some good players, and starting the season in hope with a roaring sell-out? No, that's not in the plan. None of it.

Moving my seat , or the turning up in a wheelchair?

The wheelchair reply from a moderator

Oh, come on. Don't choose to be offended by what was obviously a joke.

I'm a season ticket holder in the disabled section. Trying to get a ticket is like trying to find rocking horse shit when you are not a season ticket holder.
If you or he find it funny you are in my opinion pretty low

Nobody finds disability funny. The joke was obviously about taking unusual measures to retain his seat. Nothing low in that.

I think it's sick

Why?

I'm not making a joke about disability, I'm making a joke suggesting the poster go to extreme (and obviously not realistic) measures to keep his seat.

Genuine question - what was offensive about paulie's obviously tongue in cheek comment?

I think it's a sick thing to say

Doesn't really answer my question.  What about it was 'sick'?

I doubt its just as easy as opening it or closing it, as the club would have to maintain a contingency for staff to man it and also secure a safety certificate for it. Its unlikely given our desire to be smaller than Small Heath that the funds would be there to do that, otherwise they wouldn't bother with such a a pathetic downgrading of the club.

Can you DRAW a wheelchair though Paulie?

It's an option but I'm not sure my son of 6 would be strong enough to push me.

You have a right to your opinion, but to avoid further offence try looking into the difference between the target and the subject of a joke. They are two very different things, and neither disability nor wheelchair users were the target here.

Ha ha, the oldies are the goldies!

[Comrade Blitz]

Perhaps that woman who made the tea and tidied the office a bit took the key to the Upper Trinity with her when she left?

I find any joke about disability, in this case wheelchair use, sick

[PeterWithe]

But the joke wasn't about someone who was disabled or a wheelchair user, if he was he wouldn't be moving.

He hasn't made a joke about disability though has he.

It's not a joke about wheel chair use, and it's not a joke about disability, it's a joke about having to go to extreme measures to keep his season ticket seat.

I can't believe anyone would think otherwise. Like there's not already enough to get angry about when you read it on here.

I'd agree with you there so maybe you should re-read the joke and realise there's nothing to get offended by.
