Give it to Ron

Have you been on the Blue Star number 4 lately through Baddesley...they don't have conductors anymore they have a financial advisor on how best to pay the fare.

I refer you to post #10 on this thread. http://www.theuglyinside.net Contact him on there and discuss it. I am not a member of any fans group and never will be. I have always dealt with any small problems I have direct with the club but understand that sometimes strength in numbers can work. If you can get past all the internal fighting and people that stand on the sidelines just having a pop. Just for info I have known Nick for over 40+ years and don't agree on many things with Saints he posts or says but get p1ssed off with people that hide away on here and don't have the guts to say it to him personally.

You were offered the chance to see exactly what happens you bottled it coming up with limp and pathetic excuses. Why don't you take Danny up on his offer and you can be the "Voice of the People". http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/southampton/ this is Nicks site go and tell him rather than hide it away on here.

Then have you resigned from The Trust? Where exactly has he said he is speaking for you? http://www.theuglyinside.net Contact him on there and discuss it. I am not a member of any fans group and never will be. I have always dealt with any small problems I have direct with the club but understand that sometimes strength n numbers can work. If you can get past all the internal fighting and people that stand on the sidelines just having a pop.

Can you imagine what it would be like now with 15% mortgage rates like we had under darling Maggie......Dune moans about £3.....some of us had to do 3 jobs to survive. She absolutely destroyed British Gas with the monopoly rule and now we are saddled with multiple companies all screwing the public in the name of competition.

Are you related to Dalek???

What happened to Tom Burrows??? who took over so admirably last season when Pothas did his leg in?

200??? Next time its on check the quidquid one it 2356% FFS!! That should never be allowed to happen.

Well then I know this may be hard to do but find 3 friends and all buy ...that works out at a £1!!! One thing you may want to check on is one match a transaction ....you may be able to buy 3 home and 3 away if thats one transaction then £3??? Ok will leave this now as am bored by you and going to Tidworth for a footie tournament

would you be happy to pay a £1??

Because 90% of us have enough brains to see ways around not paying it - its the 10% who dont have a brain cell lumped together that need to see that! As for the idiot that thinks we would pay £10 booking fee...words fail me...you just want to keep moaning and moaning. Have a look at other clubs ST and matchday prices then come back and apologise.

I will tell you what...when the end of June comes I will bet you and your mates will renew! Baddesley and Romsey aint that big (my drinking area).....in fact our paths have crossed on more than one occasion so you would be surprised what and who I know! Next time the beers are on you in the Luzzie....

I think you are wrong here....the money is in getting there look at Blackpool - it costs a fortune to keep you there. Will Cortese want to stay and gamble on relegation? Mind you it might be different if Platini gets his way! The only thing that will see that is a wage cap and that will not happen while agents run the game. I certainly know the bloke you sit next to has renewed. So come on is this part of you plan to be another Nick and take over the Trust?

How do you know Cortese will be here in the Prem? I reckon as soon as we get there he will sell and go - mission accomplished. We will be in a great position for a takeover though - no mortgage, training ground and of course the best catering. Hey Stu you may have even made it to fans spokesman by then - isn't that what this is all about? I know several of your crowd have renewed and you also said you have the dosh.

It could of been so much better had we taken the 3 catches we missed. Pothas missed one I would expect him to take and the slip catch should of been held. The Rosebowl is undergowing a massive facelift and IMO is losing its way at the moment. Too much building work and made me feel uncomfortable sat in a building site. Shame. Bowlers did a good job and didn't have much luck beating the batsmen regularly.

Just one extra thing that some forget ...its per transaction not per ticket so if you buy several you only still pay £3.

Yes I can understand you feel agrieved but there are ways around it, most away games tickets are sold 14 days in advance. You don't have to pay at the window so get them at home games I understand the queue may be quite long though near kick off - I can't see this going on for too long they have to realise buying online fee is dearer than matchday!. It is becoming common practise now for ticket sellers to charge for handling fees. The club has to pay staff in call centres (Exeter??) to man phones and for their service. The club has to be self sufficient so those fees can be used - it may be wrong but thats business nowadays and as I have tod Dune/Stanley many times you can avod them with planning. We didnt sell out many games last season so dont think there will be issues. I still think one months notice was too short - it should be extended to end of July for renewals.

Yeah your right http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2485595/Portsmouth-fans-ugliest-as-Liverpool-land-Premier-League-beauty-crown.html Pompey fans are consistently recognised... look here you can count them in picture 1 http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=691802 Oh how I wish we had a supporter like W******d..... or not!!

Exactly..I have bought matchday tickets mainly additional ones on my Tesco CC that add on other purchases that I can get loads of points on then exchange those points for 4 x value....I love Prezzos £5 Tesco vouchers give me £20 to spend in their restaurant! I have a Barclays Premiership Card for my ST that is 0% on transactions over £250 spread over 12 months had it since Prem.

One last point....I often pay by credit card rather than debit...I get points like Tesco Clubcard that I can transfer into other things 4 times the monetary value and take out my family.

Ok I am going to leave this now as I think you have issues here and am getting uncomfortable with the number of posts against you. You have no idea on his finances and its his choice to pay the CC if that suited him, its the same you choosing to pay it rather than planning and calling at the window or getting a mate to do that for you - if you cannot see that you are choosing to do this and not "managing your finances better" then you are being blinded by your anti-Cortese stance.

So Dune how come its Ok for you to pay the £3 next season as it suits you but DD was wrong to pay the £1.50 CC charge if that suited him???? Hypocracy?

That would be Leeds who are a massive Championship club as opposed to a reasonable 3rd division one??

Well then its your choice or prefence to pay it so stop going on about it! No-one repeat no-one is making you pay it ! You have several options as do others. I agree with some that the dropping of the installment plan could be handled better and maybe instead of end of June given people another month July to actually get CC if they wanted them. However I can understand why the club do not want any risk or spend the time chasing debt or taking away STs its not what as a football club our priority is.

I am sure they are quaking in their boots and shocked at losing your custom....as I explained many times now - you don't have to pay that £3 but you just carry on with your pathetic little crusade. As for Ryanair...fair play however http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/transport/article7142149.ece Michael Ryan must be wondering where the next euro is coming from. Successful businessmen are ruthless about time an intelligent man like you realised that.
