I’m going to enjoy it with family as usual. Because it’s good.
But it could be better because it HAS been better - and there are people (including @SheffCouncil) who could do something about that.
Have a good weekend if you’re also going! 🎉
Right, this is going to be my only semi-serious #Tramlines tweet this year - from the POV of a local resident who’s been going on and off since 2014.
It’s a good festival. It’s fun. Ticket prices are reasonable for a three-day festival.
I’m sure there will also be some cynical PR with spurious claims about economic benefits (with no data and a nebulous time period). And there won’t be any reference to the horrendous damage to the park last year. But there’s nothing I can do about that either.
Look at the awesome work @tramlines are doing to promote local businesses around Hillsborough. Really don't understand why people complain about the no re-entry policy when stuff like this is happening 😍
Like, you don't HAVE to buy the more expensive food and drink during the time when the no re-entry policy is active. You can just have lots before you go in and then it's fine.
Honestly. Some people just complain about everything.
When I am supreme ruler of the universe I will make it a criminal offence to (1/n):
Ban people from stopping or slowing down in shop doorways. Punishment will be to have all the entry points in their homes fitted with really slow and overly-sensitive revolving doors.
At the same time, he restored (created?) a genuinely positive atmosphere around (and seemingly within) the team. It felt good and a lot less embarrassing to be an England fan over the past eight years.
So cheers for that Gareth.
On a serious note though, Southgate has been one of the best managers the national team has ever had - on several levels.
Progression through competitions better than anyone bar one. Probably similar for penalty shoot-outs too.
Sure, he didn’t win anything with supposedly excellent players - but nor has anyone else for almost 60 years. And he got closer than anyone, multiple times.
