One tweet I saw actually @‘d the EFL and FA asking them to take action as they were offended. The video they included in their tweet was of multiple middle finger etc gestures.
I gathered from the 3CR post-match interview with Gareth that Ipswich came swanning into Adams Park with all manner of gizmos and devices which spilt out beyond their changing room, causing our players some difficulties accessing our changing room, and generally giving a kind of “air of superiority” which didn’t go down to well with our lads. In short, Ipswich’s arrogance wrote Gareth’s team talk for him. A bit like the Sunderland/Our House business, from what I could understand...
You may not have to wait until the Derby game, anyone looking to buy a ticket in the FA for Sheff Wed will see it looks like we're being segregated for that game too.
@Ozzie_the_Relaxed it does make it a lot harder to justify paying what you have to pay to sit up there if you consider the amenities or lack there of within.
Although I reckon he was pootling around Waterstones a couple of days before Christmas for the same reson you were, and I will be later today. Desperately trying to find a present that last person on the list might like!
Splitting the FA for the Derby game would be a mistake . There’s going to be enough of a problem managing the away end .
What has become obvious is that the FA is badly in need of renovation . Portable toilets are not a long term option I don’t want to go into details but the one I went into was not in a fit state for female fans.
Queue at the kiosk in FA before KO against Brizzle was embarrassing. I think only 1 shutter open and 3 people working - stand to be corrected as I was running a bit later than normal to the game and was rushing through. Must have been 40 people in the queue. Shocking when you consider what is being paid by supporters to sit in there. Should we not just get a row of vending machines on the back wall??
The segregation in the FA stand was ridiculous. There were Ipswich fans in full colours sat in season ticket holders’ seats. Had clearly bought a ticket for their block then moved along for a better view.

We can laugh at the pathetic nature of that, but that's the sort of thing that a high profile player could get a ban for.
Let's hope being fairly low profile gets us away with it.
Excellent post, fully behind you. Don't split the FA and the FS for the Derby game!

As I walked past the players entrance, I couldn't help but notice that they had 2 coaches. I wonder if the second was just for their equipment?
I'd like to hear what @FriendlyTractor thought of the match.
Was it Ed's tour bus?
Ah, that explains the bloke in the crowd with the Acme Patended Laser Freeze Ray gun trying to stop Hanalan from scoring.
I'd like to know if @FriendlyTractor has changed their name yet.
You'll have to translate that sentence to English before I can understand.

That’s a shame
Might seriously consider going in the terrace then, the FA was carnage Saturday, not a great "customer experience."

Saw big Max in Waterstones today - any guesses what might be on the Polecat's reading list?
Tried to think of a witty answer and even browsed the Waterstones website. I've got nothing for you I'm afraid.
'The Most Common Injuries To Afflict Goalkeepers on 80 minutes'?
Dislocated bootlace is near the top of the list
60 ways to tie a bootlace in 3 minutes?

I usually just pootle around Waterstones to try and look intelligent
DId you buy anything? It is a good place to pull I've found. Easy to start a conversation.

Lots of work is needed, but the toilets being out of action was a one off due to the extreme weather wasn't it?
Wasn't a problem at the game just gone?
The roof of the FA needs fixing. The club had a seven figure quote to do the work. Not sure that will happen any time soon.

They'd soon break down
