Yes, bit thin; usually blamed on translation issues.

Yeah I know frown

But I’ve renewed anyway despite promising myself that I wasn’t going to! Had to trade my son’s ticket from an U16 to an U21 one - although, he’s that small I reckon he could have got away with an U16 ticket for another couple of seasons laugh

Years of experience tell me that’s a relief.

I ws thinking the same but Ben's 6'3 now.. not happening!
So my ticket has gone from £899 to £975, Bens would have gone from £99 to £189 but now he's 16 it goes from £99 to...£450 FFS!

Kids price rises look really high, odd decision.

I have to admit that I was thinking of you and your lad and an ex-colleague and his son when I wrote my post (both are about the same age and the same height) biggrin

I’m sticking with Band 4 - although I have asked to move from Block 247 to maybe 230/231.

Hope he:

a) gets a decent chance
b) avoids injury.

I'm a bit more worried about hanging on to him at the end of next season.

My Millwall father-in-law is spending 5 or 6 days with us, in SE London.
Today at lunchtime,I took him to my nearest pub, which broke his heart, he lives in Maidstone, where beer is apparently £2 per gallon, and his eyes watered when he saw the price of a pint of bitter.
30 minutes later, his son, my wife’s brother turned up.
After I’d got him a pint of lager, he said, “Don’t put your wallet away, you can give me £25 for Red’s ticket, (Red being my wife).
“Ticket? Ticket for what?” I said.
“Millwall, next Sunday, we’ve got Brighton, in the Cup.”
When I saw her this evening, I asked her why she was going, considering that she’d only been to The Boleyn once, and never to the London Stadium.
I nearly fell through the floor when she said, “Blood’s thicker than water, I was born in Camberwell, to a Millwall family, that’s all I ever knew until I met you.”
She went on, “When I first told them I’d met you, and that you were West Ham, my dad and brother went nuts, you’d have thought that I’d got involved with a serial killer.”
At least she finished by saying, “I hope you get a result against Huddersfield, I really do, but my dad asked me to go on Sunday, and you know that I love him to bits.”
