Good on 'em. Why should fans have to pay 25 quid a pop to watch this complete ****e?

 

If crowds get down to 11-12k maybe Lowe will have to re-evaluate his plans...

 

Yes plan B is Administration.

Yeah, that's right, with even less money coming into the club, it's really going to help.

Whilst I am disappointed with fans who stay away because of Lowe, I fully sympathise with those who just don't enjoy it any more.

 

I might be moving back to Britain in the next couple of weeks. The way things are going the, "£50 (inc. fuel) to watch games like that," side of my brain, is being overruled by the "f**k it, I'm going skiing" part of my brain.

Whilst I was sitting there bored stiff this afternoon I was thinking of all the other things that I could have been doing instead. I've got a yogurt in the fridge that's reached its sell-by date. I could have had that

It just isn't a laugh anymore. I used to go for the **** up, the laughs with mates and the football. Closing Blocks 1-3 really ****ed me and a lot of others I know off. Like I have said before, will be away games only for me.

Are you completely ****ing stupid?!

 

Less money + less moral = less likely to succeed.

 

Feel free to stay at home and whine. I'm gonna get behind my team.

Re evaluate his plans?!

 

It only seems expensive because we aren't winning, and you say it as though there has been a huge increase in ticket prices.

 

As spike said the next plan is administration.

 

If you want to complain about ticket prices become a QPR fan, and do us all a favour.

So how would you improve things? We are skint and trying to move forward with the youth players. They are great players and need to be given time, the more you moan and the more you stay away the less chance we have of succeeding.

There is no option but to carry on as is.......but there is also no way the paying public will shell out every fortnight to be bored........more and more will drift away if a 0 - 0 draw against Barnsley is the sum of the effort.........its all right some die hard supporters castigating the posters who are now staying away, but its the inevitable result of market forces..........winning breeds bigger crowds.........losing forces them to spend their money elsewhere..........at the moment those who stay away are saying......." Thank goodness I didn't bother going there today!!".............until they think they are missing entertaining football, the crowd will continue to dwindle...........not good!!

Then its time for Plan C...

 

ENCOURAGE WILDE AND LOWE TO SELL BY FAIR MEANS OR FOWL AND GET A TAKEOVER.

 

SOUTHAMPTON FC IS FOR SALE. (AND WORTH BUYING).

 

WILDE/LOWE/CORBETT/CROUCH .... OUT!

Since when did any of our recent boards have a plan?! If they have done, I've not been able to spot it!

to be fair that and having better things to spend money on at the mo seems to me as its much more likly a reason than a boycott because lowe is back.

 

i can see why they closed the blocks but I doubt they realised they would lose so many more customers because of it.

 

a team winning and looking like it could be going places is the only thing that will convince people thats it is the best place to spend money.

If we continue with 15,000 gates i think Lowe and Wilde will have to give the club away before the season is through as we cannot operate with such a **** poor revenue. I think this is what Fulthorpe is waiting for.

How many seasons have we been told to get behind the team?

How many seasons have we been served up ****e?

Lowe has been in charge through out and yet does nothing.

Lowe out!

I was sat there thinking this is still a lot better than last season and we only just scraped a team together today. Keep the faith!

 

At least at the back end of last season we actually looked like scoring at some stage.

No he hasnt and what he is doing is not what most of us like but it is within our means. Believe me if I had the money I would gladly step up and buy the club and have a go at getting us moving in the right direction as would many of us but there are not that many people with the money that want to buy us so we are kind of stuck with things.

It's your team mate. It means more to you than it does to him. It'll be your team when he's gone. We're all disappointed but we needn't be disaffected. It's your choice but I say don't give up on them.

SFC may well be for sale, but it's not worth buying.

 

SFC might not even be worth buying for £1 because all you're buying is debt.

 

The situation is probably so dire the only way out is for our debts to be cleared through administration.

Yes it is my team and it pains me to see how far we have fallen.

But i will NEVER give up on supporting Saints, although if Lowe was to go tomorrow,i would be very happy.

Askham and Wilde have never got behind the club so they have to take responsibility. I think administration is very close now and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a last-ditch Coventry/SISU type sale at a knock-down price so Wilde doesn't lose the whole lot.

Why would anyone offer Wilde any more than a nominal fee? I certainly wouldn't, so hard headed businessmen won't. If there is anyone out there interested they are holding all the aces.

I wrestled with my conscience all summer and never renewed until after the Birmingham game ( to my expense ). I don't hold it against anyone who doesn't go anymore.

On Wednesday I started thinking that maybe Lowe and Wilde were prepared to offset lowering attendences with the sale of 1 or 2 youngsters in January - end of season, rather than attract people to SMS......and they most probably would.

What so we should attend games and waste £100 for something that is no longer enjoyable just to save the club from administration? I fully agree with LeGod the legend and couldn't have put it better myself.

I have to think carefully about not only the money,but time involved in travelling to SMS now.

 

Is it really deserving of two hours each way,on top of the best part of c£40 for young Badger and I to attend ?

 

And if young Badger II comes,its more £,and the rubbish served up could put him off football for life;will either of them be prepared to take me there in my dotage if I inflict this on them now ?

 

Chelt Town by the way have appointed Martin Allen in the last week,so where over the next few months are we most likely to get value for money ,and travelling time ?

Yes in my opinion. Your choice if you don't want to go anymore and in fairness if you don't find it enjoyable you're probably best off with the other 6/7/8 thousand who can't be arsed and who we'll no doubt see at the drop of a hat when/if the good times come again

if crowds get that low then the decision to 're-evaluate' will be taken out of his hands by the bank.

Which is why they would wait until the last minute. Askham would be put out of the picture including Lowe if Wilde panicked as I think he will. Also, if the young lads could stay within 10 points of safety by January, the new owners could bring in 10-15 CCC quality players to supplement Lallana, Killer (if fit), Davis and John and have a go at staying up without the -15 point penalty of administration. I cannot see that Wilde or anyone else on the board has the £20-25m to keep the club afloat and keep the academy at it's current level, administration is inevitable unless we are bought cheaply at the last minute and it could be a matter of weeks, perhaps even days.
