    Real People Check-Outs

    Sheriff - I would say it was more than 10% that had some sort of problem. I deliberately went earlier because I thought there could be some problems. If nearly everyone turned up 15 minutes or less before KO it would have been horrendous. I guess it will improve a bit with time. People were...

    Football + Statistics + Idiots = Hoofball

    Pulis and Warnock were not classical long ballers and not in same league for long ball as the managers I quoted in the 1980s and early 1990s. John Beck defenders would have been severely shouted at for taking a ball down and controlling it, if in their own half. Even in the modern game many...

    Real People Check-Outs

    It probably saves money, but not as much as people think. There are more stewards than there used to be 25 years ago and an automated turnstile and scanning equipment is not cheap. Someone quoted a price on here for upgrading the Riverside recently and I was shocked. Stewards near the...

    Football + Statistics + Idiots = Hoofball

    I remember a manager called John Beck was a big long ball fan, probably the biggest in England in the early 1990s. It go them promoted from current Division 2 to Championship in 2 years. The following year he got them to the Championship play offs. All on very limited funds. Certainly the...

    Gary Lineker leaving Match of the Day

    Nice guy and decent presenter, but seemed very expensive to me if £1.2m is true for a part time job.

    TROY DEENEY

    We were not giving out new £2m (£40k/week) contracts under Warnock - remember the 2019/20 total summer signings were Bola, Dijksteel and Brown - £10k a week players. The following season we might have rose to approx £12k a week for Morsy and the season after £12k per week for Crooks, Payero and...

    That video is becoming history it includes supermarkets that the general public visit - in 10 years time it will be only robot warehouses and automated delivery vans/bikes.

    Real People Check-Outs

    Just a human connection and someone to be there if there is a problem. I also find the legal responsibility switches when you do your own scanning i.e. you are responsible not the retailer. btw I consider myself more of an introvert than an extrovert.

    Switching a bit to automated football turnstiles. QPR turnstile would not work for me last week - luckily it was still quiet and the head steward came over and it would not work for her with my printed ticket, she tried three times. She then moved me onto to another turnstile and after two...

    Burnley away tickets

    Interesting that some FMTTM posters quoted how cheap Burnley ticket prices were for their STs. We now know the away fans at Burnley are subsidising their Season ticket holders, to some extent.

    This statement sends shivers down my back - such a cold dead world too.

    Half Season Tickets are back!

    I thought MFC said there would be no half STs this season? I do think they are a good idea on balance as they use the Xmas gift option for some better off supporters. They do work for 18-21s - £192 is £16 a match (if all 12 attended) which is now 1.4 hours paid work based on living wage of...

    Real People Check-Outs

    I agree its a generation thing. I have noticed different retailers use slightly different ways of working. I use lots of retailers and don't want to try and learn all the different systems and their oddities. If you are a member of staff operating the tills for 30 hours a week you pick up all...

    Plymouth argyle away ??

    Future Hotel is a luxury hotel that is reasonably priced (used to be called Atlantic) - say £76 for large double room on 21st. Walkable to Home Park, lots of parking for hotel residents, close to A38. Rooms still available this morning.

    2 x Oxford tickets required

    Ref: Morse/Lewis/Endeavour TV series I loved these programmes Quite a few mentions of "Town & Gown" I guessed this meant the mix and middle class academic university types and working class Oxford people who say worked at the Morris factories now BMW Mini.

    1finny - Tesco might only make 3% net profit on sales but they are doing that with every sale so a very large store with a £500k turnover per day is making a net profit of £15k per day or around £5.5m per year. When I checked online I found the Company has a return on investment of about 7.5%...

    The two lads from Hong Kong

    What a trip for the two special Boro fans from HK - you would not get there if you were two Man United fans from HK - makes the Boro trip very special.
