I speak to many Poole fans who used to go to Poole and away on a regular basis but can no longer afford to do so. I don’t believe that. I can understand people not being able to get time off work but not being able to afford it? Wouldn’t cost more than £75 with fuel and entry. If someone can’t afford that they should look seriously at where they have gone wrong in life and make changes. People today are better off than they have ever been. Not aimed at people on sickness benefit. Edited October 30, 2018 by Steve Shovlar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're assuming the only reason why some fans didn't make the Lynn trip is because they can't afford it. Do yourself a favour and drop the topic of conversation as it doesn't look good on you to be honest. Never said that at all. I said that some couldn’t have made it due to work commitments. And others might be on benefits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray c 2,299 Posted October 30, 2018 Still don't alter the fact that most clubs have a end of season bash whether a dinner dance or a social evening and as a club that won the top league in the UK we had nothing . Just my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 30, 2018 4 minutes ago, BLACKHEART said: You're throwing around figures and saying people should look at themselves in life whilst saying people have never had it so good. Like I said it doesn't make you come across well at all to be honest. Just enjoy our title triumph. Its a fact that every generation is better off than the previous generation. Who doesn’t own a smart phone? 20 years ago many didn’t even own a mobile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
