    Seemingly low gates at Turf

    Every time I see you on the box it looks like people (the fans) are lowering in numbers that attend matches?

    Our SAGE "experts" are scaring the flocks of sheep senseless, getting tickets is now absurdly difficult and expensive, no wonder the gates are dropping.

    My mate and me have stopped making the 300 mile round trip because we do not like VAR having any say in what happens on the field, we are fed up of players diving around when they feel contact or even when they lose the ball fairly, watching teams passing sideways and backwards, fouls being given for fair challenges because the challenge is deemed too hard etc., etc.

    I have been to one Burnley game this season because I was in the area, however, I honestly can't say that I enjoyed it although I did fulfil an ambition in seeing the Clarets in my 70th year of going on the Turf. I also attended the Under 21 International for personal reasons a couple of weeks ago and I did enjoy that game.

    My season ticket at Ashington is 30 quid in the most expensive seats lol. I can also get a cooked meal and a beer/wine for a fiver and we are averaging 4.7 goals for each game this season. Add to that, I walk to the ground so it is a cheap afternoon of Northern League football and is always enjoyable.

    I'm going to have a word with our Chairman, my ST cost me £35 at Clitheroe, don't see why Sub should be paying less.

    Bollox to that BT, cost of living is high in the Ribble Valley, you know that, every fiver counts. Meusli and skinny lattes don't come cheap.

    Sinkov, you have to remember that up here in Ashington we were very much a mining community and certainly do not have the delusions of grandeur of many living in the Ribble Valley, therefore, the cloth is cut to suit the purse ----of course, you have much more cloth in the Lancashire area than we have up here ---well ---you used to have!
