I apreciate all you are doing for the club and your having a bad week maybe you go outside for a smoke? just joking!! Come on it can't be that bad, chin upicon_smile.gif

I've also been quick to support MC and is team and will continue to do so.

The club would be better off looking at ways to get the public to visit BV not forcing some loyal fans to think twice about visiting . Surly the club could provide a smoking area like at the stoop. Most public ares provide a smoking area, pubs, clubs, restaurants even airports. TWO hours watching wakefield can seem like a week end on some occasions and a cig now and then helps to get you through the game. I for one will resist the temptation to visit and keep my 22 quid firmly anchored in my pocket, the club received 5 x 22 quids last season from me and a total of 88 quid from family members that came with me.

If you really want to sell the club for a quid I can think of better places to make the announcement . Maybe a share offer for a quid would be a better option.

I'd like to say I'm surprised, but sadly I am not. There will always be people 'waiting in the wings' for certain club official to depart before they'll come forward. The ones who were just waiting for Ted Richardson to go never showed up, neither will the ones who apparently were waiting for Elston to go.

Is this really worth the arguement.
The smoking policy is no different to many other entertainment and work venues.

Of course as a non smoker it doesn't affect me but is this really the biggest issue we have?

As for changes since buying tickets, lets get real on this.....there hasn't been a reduction in games, the duration of the games hasn't changed, there has been an improvement in the squad, you are allowed to stand where you like, there has been a smoking ban, though there always was one in the stands as far as I know.
Changes both positive and negative. Doesn't say on the ticket that nothing will change, just that you have access to the ground.

If you like me got the season ticket before these decisions you probably bought them at the old rates so you already have a better than good deal.
I'm happy for the club to take a lead in these things and at least tell us what they are doing.

Saying that DC, I am one that advocates not upsetting the guy running the club right now but you are picking up on one comment on a forum that has lots of opinion for and against every single issue in the world of rugby league. You have to let it go, just like the rest of us.

Even an absolute unanimous view on this forum is not necessarily a majority view of the thousands of supporters who attend games and buy shirts.
Admittedly we are a knowledgeable lot!
If you want to know our opinion then this is the place to be, but if you get hung up on one isolated one that isn't positive, you won't enjoy reading.
The board is here for all opinions, yours included.

What makes you think it won't attract people to watch in a smoke free zone?

I don't need to make a share offer do I? I've just offerred you the whole thing for a quid?

If you aren't happy with your platinum package, come and see me at work and I'll sort it with you??

Sent you a PM.

M C i think it would be wise to take an hour or 2 off and away from the forum. If you would rather make scant remarks than offer a solution , then crack on. I repeat if you want to sell the club for a quid there's better places than the forum. No i dont want to buy the club for a quid with a quid back in cash, but i would like to keep attending BV and have a cig or two in a smoking area. If it aint possible then so be it, I will not be attending and spending my cash. I also work 80+ hrs a week and away from home and used to look forward to my trips to BV.
Chill

For crying out loud. If not being able to have a cancer stick for 2 hours and stand where you've always stood since god was a lad due to segregation at certain games,when trouble has accurred in the past,then there's no way you'll ever be happy.My mum moans at everything as well and here's me thinking she was the only one Oh and by the way thank you MC,for all you've done for this great club of ours.

I've tried other places, sky sports news for example, and still no one will come forward. What does that tell you?
As regards not coming if you can't smoke, so be it. That is entirely your prerogative to do so.
As an aside, do you get paid for your. 80+ hours? And do you also have people moaning at you, about every decision that is taken, if it's not to their exact requirements and liking?

As another non smoker it does affect me. I don't have to put up with other peoples emmissions.

Sponsored nicotine patches for the weak willed?

Of course i get paid for my work, how else could i afford to smoke
