I wasn't gonna go anyway, so I've tried to stay out of the conversation here and twitter, but for what it's worth.....
What's disappointed me isn't that the league has tried to milk the fans, because I'm not sure it's that exactly. It's more that they seem kinda tone deaf and haven't given a second thought to the fans.
Like announcing in Feb that the playoff dates have moved. First there's all those that had longstanding hotel bookings and had probably budgeted their weekend suddenly having to find alternative accommodation during the bank holiday weekend with so little lead time that most of the cheap rooms had long gone.
Then theres those that would have had to get time off work and then rearrange it at short notice. In my old job I typically had to sort leave months in advance. Then theres those that had to rearrange child care.
It's all those things that bother me....plus the ticket prices of course.
