Your opinions tend to be on another planet so I’m guessing 19 miles wasn’t much trouble ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tram Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Where is Loughborough anyway? It sounds a bit foreign. Do they have a football club? Wherever it is, it's nice for them to be able to watch some good football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found return flights for the Iceland game, and was up for going if I hadn't been working - more than 18 miles ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To some degree, I can see advantages for the team having a home ground - rather than just playing where they train. However, if others find it tricky, or unfair, like you, perhaps, the club could consider laying on transport for anyone who can make it to Pride Park, but is struggling to get to Loughborough. It can only be good to encourage more interest in the junior teams ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laying on transport with energy efficient electric buses or buses. with catalytic converters etc would be less polluting than everybody driving gas guzzling cars to Loughborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I doubt that's your genuine reason for moaning about this. If you're short of petrol money this week, the game could be viewed on rams player, for free. If you didn't want to make the journey in difficult conditions, it was on rams player, for free. It's Loughborough, not Fiji. Man up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
