History for theprof

In all honesty they could probably look at things from 10 years ago and pretty sure all the things being said today were said back then. The same ole same ole with no progress made  just different people in some cases making the point.
Wouldnt be surprised if the busses replaces trains thing over the years has been mostly around the same dates. Most of the track maintenance is planned in advance so wouldnt have thought it would have been that hard to find out dates and plan accordingly. 

Exactly this, I've been around since Terry announced he was going to buy the franchise and noithing has really changed much. There have been so,e improvements in gameday experience, the beverage selection has vastly improved, anyone remember the speights, or Export 33? The food is vastly improved, years ago the best available was Fritz's Weiners. Now we have smei-decent burgers, chips that are actually hot and other options albeit with hefty price increases. Sadly that's where the gameday improvements cease. The fans are stil being ripped with the parking situation. The train replacements happen the same time every year, and suire I get it, repairs need to happen but there is clearly no engagement with the stadium regarding events that are occurring and the bus replacements are minimal. I don't expect the club to do anything about this - they dont control public transport. The marketing around town for the Nix and the league itself has all but gone, theres a few busses with nix ads on them but no flags fluttering on lamp posts, no billboards anywhere. It's been flat for years. All of this stuff has been riased in varous ways with the club. I remeber being part of a fan discussion group with the club a decade ago. Same issues were raised then, Dome and co wanted to see change and improvements but ultimately nothing has improved to generate bigger and better crowds.
