optimisticowl Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Did Betts actually go to the match? If so he would have received the usual VIP treatment reserved for politicians, VIP parking (if requested), directors bar, pre-match meal, directors box seat and post match executive treatment, I somehow don’t imagine that he joined the John Street queue.

Clive Betts did go to the game and I believe he was on the away end. Whatever you may think of his politics Clive Betts is a Sheffield Wednesday season ticket holder with a seat on the Kop. No underfloor heating, complimentary rug, directors box seat or tea, coffee and bourbon biscuits in the boardroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following his colleague Joe Cox’s murder he’s either a very brave man or a damned fool, I don’t do politics by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrupting the team sheet - and deleting “Sheffield” was hilarious. Bad manners. To be expected. Small minded and tin pot in the extreme. I think United’s hierarchy have serious mental issues. Including the Manager. . They are obsessed / in awe. They can't help themselves even when they're doing better in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have never had a job you would never understand why people can not turn up earlier on a week night On 13/11/2018 at 19:16, ReadingOwl said: We never do. We were brought up with basic manners and treat people with respect. My 87 year old Mum has always said you can tell who support United. And, I’m being serious. Bad mannered, aggressive, a bit thick and poorly dressed. I absolutely agree with your Mother. I'm not from Sheffield so maybe it's different, but I always think you can tell, by and large. Not an absolute science and we have an element I would rather we didn't have. It's why the robert Carlisle character in the Full Monty was a Blade. It was an important part of his loser character. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I saw Clive outside the away end before the game. Big Wednesday fan and long standing season ticket holder on the kop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BECKS-TO-BUD Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 What is making me laugh about all this is that this "bloke" is supposed to time and again travel to London,he has obviously never been on the tube at 8.00 at Leicester sq etc. He'd have the underground tube system closed down.

Leicester Square is a tourist spot and not that busy at 8am.
