What was the reason he left?

Genuine question, not trying to open up old fights etc

how petty! the man thinks he is bigger than the club?? go to other grounds and you can't take take bottles in to the ground! all to save about 75p!

Other grounds tell you that before you get there. And there stewards are at least professional and not selective on who they let in with what and who they don't let in. Such as Al's wife entering through the same turnstile in front of him with exactly the same thing. You obviously have never met him and you couldn't be further from the truth. He (along with others) has given that club and some of its players, so much time, effort and money over the years that he deserves to be treat better than dirt which is what CB made him feel.

Tune in next week for the next exciting episode in BOTTLEGATE.
Yawnnnnnnn. Man-up and move on.

I hope if you ever feel betrayed by the club in the act of supporting them they don't treat you the same. If they can't support the old proud hardcore fans and treat them with mutual respect they deserve there's something wrong. After all there's only a small number of hardcore fans left and that number is shrinking.

He made a big point when he left saying he didn't want threads like these.
It's his decision. Leave it alone.

The personal comments are worthy of warnings.

I'll lock this to save you the hassle but I've no problem warning and banning for personal comments no matter how tame or how much you think it's banter.
Read the AUP or just get back to discussing rugby.
