All,

Does anyone have a phone number for Rogan Taylor, or any direct line into the club? It's time for a bit of a chat.........

He's never replied to my letter, I take it you've read up on all the postings? I made a solutionsto the problem page last night, I think by the time the chronicle pubblish the story, then I will be hearing from this MR Taylor. BTW, has he actually done anything for the fans since getting this new role?

Man in charge of bbs, he say fuck. I can't help but notice, folks, the standard of language has definitely dipped in recent weeks (mine included - crap, arse, tit).

Can we have a show of who has bairns who read this forum and those who disapprove of the language. Not much fun without anonymity, perhaps, coming across all Mary Woodhouse (urgh..), but it would be interesting to know whether we should tighten up or carry on regardless.

Rik, he's told the club not to insist on the costs from the SOS people. And apart from that, he's suggested the setting up of fans' fora.

Softie, Up here its like God Bless You, and as for the kids and the wifies the ham sandwich is much worse, What makes me laugh, many moons ago my good lady banged her hand at work and muttered the fine auld "Geordie" expletitive, "Oh Shite", the reaction from the other wifies who could f---k, fight, even ride a motor bike,(LR - Salome) was one of profound disgust. On a lighter note, first week up here, wife was walking down the road and the postie stopped and said "You need a car ye ken", June in all innoicence replied, "Not really Im warm enough",

Softie,

Apologies for the language; don't normally indulge in such displays in the written word, but the fiasco around the season tickets drove me to it...I couldn't think of any better word that accurately describes it.

As for the participation of nippers on the BBS, I'm happy to start a Junior Magpies BBS on here and manage that too...maybe some of the other dads would help out.

As far as this one is concerned, my perspective is that topics of an adult nature invariably arise in discussion between adults, and it is adults this BBS is aimed at (and indeed they who pay the bills). The language may have deteriorated, but by far the most dubious content is the regular reportge from our swiss correspondant and our City-based banking rock star.....not a rude word in sight, but the content of the messages is definitely *not* for kids!

Yes I think we should clean this up a bit no more 4 letter F, or c words from me.Although I wouldn't let my kids on here, not because of the occasional bad language but because they would realise what a sad Bastard I really am (can I say Bastard?)

In all honesty I don't think Rogan Taylor is the man to address this ST matter. While I'm not 100% sure, I believe he has a full-time job at the Univ. of Liverpool, and is therefore probably handling this assignment on a consultancy basis. He will be tasked with addressing the overall issue of fan liaison from a structural/organisational standpoint, rather than dealing with day-to-day issues/screw-ups etc!).
I have written to David Stonehouse, who I believe IS the person responsible for managing the Ticket Office and its administration, alerting him to the problem and the angst it has created, suggesting he needs to urgently assess the magnitude of the problem, and then do something about it.
I'll let you know what, if any, response I get.

Fair enough, didn't fucking bother me anyway :-)

As for the juniors....it's a lot less adult than most of the conversations you overhear at SJP...especially in the bogs!

Hey Pilgrim, I'm sure you said in the pub last night that Rik should poppadum blonde instead of worrying about his tickets.
