That's a very fair way of putting it, I've no argument for that. I don't know whether it resonates with Brum supporters, I haven't checked.

I can guess though..

From Southport, if someone drew up a new ground with a main stand in the shape of, I dunno, a pier I'd be fucking livid.

I'm not even necessarily against "the gimmick". But it just looks... Shit.

As a friend said to me: "Ban AI now and give the architects their pencils back."

The inside looks fine (they always do though. High contrast, expose the colours, some camera flash - renders always look more alive than the finished product).

But the outside 👀👀

I can see the engagement on SICF, I can see bug reports being addressed, and I’ve got confidence in the studio. The positives are really positive, the engine, the tactics, the framework for the future.

Industry has always had an issue with it. One hand it’s an important people of some people’s lives, on the other hand you’ve got to remember it’s a £40-50 entertainment product. It’s puts SI in a tough spot. The community demands comms, but the response to any comms is brutal.

Match engine is much better, and there’s so much potential for the future. Some of the UI decisions are strange. Love the tactics. No notes there. Game seems to me to progress for longer on pressing “continue” which makes it less immersive.

I think I’m pretty aligned with the feedback the community has given. I’m very much *not* aligned with the way that feedback has often been provided. I’m in the 1000hr one-more-space bar cohort so it’s been an adjustment.

Fair play. I don't plan on doing much at all by the time I'm 70 🤣

Bit rude @chipsyycfc.bsky.social

Its fair enough demand outstrips supply, not Ticketmaster's fault.

It *is* their fault that so many tickets appear marked up within seconds on a site they own.

I'll still go, I won't get to see SOAD again, not to mention QOTSA on the same bill, but I'll pay £100 more per head and it stings.

Oh I'll be going, sadly at Viagogo prices. Making the problem worse 🤣

Meanwhile on Viagogo....

Incredible this is still legal.

Also, until you mentioned it I hadn't realised they've removed the rules from their website. It's certainly be done in the last month as I accessed them on August 29th via the downloads section on the site.

I can't find anything else in the rules that would be relevant to the situation. I do think, as I initially put, a decent lawyer might be able to pick that apart. There's no explicit reference to STs.
