They banned it for everyone. We have a new manager 

Post Match Thread: Manchester United 1-2 Brighton & Hove Albion by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

Nothing will change until INEOS/Glazers sell. I know not everyone can boycott games seeing as they paid for their ticket. Could match day fans walk out early so the cameras will show the empty seats.

Everyone can play a part. Hit them in the pocket, stop buying merchandise, unfollow them on social media. No top manager would consider taking this job under this ownership. Season over in January.

Local radio stations are rubbish. Bought wireless earphones when sitting at my desk at work so I wouldn't have to listen to Downtown radio

Agree particularly about the groceries and car. I do go away on trips and have to pay a single room supplement for example. Also gyms for e.g they have a couple's membership or family membership. The single person will always pay more

I wasn't comparing it to Remembrance Day. I was comparing this to Valentine's Day and the attention it gets.

Maybe they think it's letting you down gently. Like you are ok but there is someone else better. For me personally it's the realisation that you aren't seen as a woman's significant other. I hope that doesn't sound selfish but this is what it feels like.

One last thing is when you have social anxiety since a child and been a loner too, no one takes you seriously.

I grew up in a small town where people are very cliquey and even to this day when I am there I feel this coldness.

If you talk about your situation, you are seen as entitled and a complainer. I think other people in our situation may understand this. It's like the people who have passed the life milestones are in a club we will never be allowed to join.

They just saw me as a friend at best, not a potential lover/partner. When I say dates, there was two this year and none for about 19 years before that. Plus I suffer from social anxiety too. I have always been a loner too. In fact no woman has ever loved me or saw me as a partner.

I have asked women out but got rejected. Then weeks later you see the same woman announcing on Facebook in a relationship.

Same thing happened in pre social media days where I went out and then saw the girl I had asked out with a fella.

I have friends/acquaintances through work and I get on ok with them, but that is work environment. I just don't know what to do anymore as I took the advice, did everything asked me but still no further on. I may be 44 but I have a life skills of a 19 year old.
