Mole Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 That can't be too great a fear, most on here claim that the very appearance of Lord Lowe in the stands is enough to drive them from the club in an attempt to send it to oblivion. ho ho ho andrew, just been reviewing your uni project. Did you use Lowe as a role model for the President and C.E.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely, Lowe's body of men, 10,000, have made up the numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaucho Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 When will those who subscribe to the view that administration would rid the club of Lowe et al, realise that it is likely Lowe would just buy the club back at a pittance and we would be in League 1. Administration would be a disaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hacienda Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 But surely, Lowe's body of men, 10,000, have made up the numbers? Come on Scooby, tell us where the 10,000 that you said deserted the club after the "night of the long knives" who would return with Lowe's return? Of course, the fact that the 10,000 turned their back on the club doesn't make them "real fans" anyway using your own criteria as laid out in dozens of posts.

Ponty Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 If only you had some kind of moderating power Poncey, then you'd be able to delete duplicate threads. Ah, if only. Actually, this IS the duplicate thread, but I wanted to make a point on it so I didn't delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrent Of Abuse Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 Acceptable? Unacceptable? Who the f7&^ are you to say what is or is not "acceptable"? People are generally grown up enough to decide for themselves how to spend their lives, their time and their money. No, haven't been this season and will probably do away games before home games, but its my choice. You can go feel smug, holy and self-satisfied if you like, but, jeez, get some perspective. I don't think anyone on here is getting smug, holy or self-satisfied. I think (as usual) some people are getting hyper-sensitive about non-attendance, though - and are jumping to the defensive in answer to insults which just aren't there. Yes, people are grown up enough to decide on attending/not attending by themselves, but also people are surely grown up enough to actually talk about it without resorting to histrionics? No-one is pretending they are a better fan for attending matches, but when the club is this close to administration, surely attendance becomes an important issue - far more important than it would usually be? It certainly seems a strange argument to say that Lowe and Wilde are going to lead us into administration, so we should not go to games and so deny the club income. It's rather like preventing yourself being shot by a mugger by putting the gun to your own head. Can we discuss it without it descending into a slagging match? Perhaps the reason there are so many threads on this subject is because people are trying to find a away in which we can discuss the issue without it instantly dissolving into accusations and counter-accusations? Of course, it probably doesn't help promote a restrained discussion when your own administrator posts something like this... We all know that those who go are far superior to those who don't go. Or some such ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brmbrm Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 How's about this then: you can't print the fixture list from the OS (or at least i can't). the result is that for a casual fan (plastic or whatever material you think fits best) they have to go to some non-zero effort to find out when the saints are next at home. Non-zero effort means some won't do it/can't be bothered/the kids are screaming/the wife is shouting/whatever. Print it out, stick it on the bog wall and you can make your plans at leisure.

mcjwills Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 I got made redundant No excuse, there's plenty of people on benefits at the stadium. Oh. Do they live in Bristol though? Easy answer to that, get your mates down here to give you an interview for a job down here, take the interview letter to the Job Center and claim expenses for the trip down, sorted !!

Denzil Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 May be a reason, but is not acceptable. Presumably someone who is banned is a "no brainer". Yeah, everyone who is banned from football doesn't have a brain. Stupid boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puff the magic dragon Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 ALWAYS AN EXCUSE. I can't make it because I can't afford it when saints suddenly do well, they all come running back When the team is worth watching those on moderate incomes sacrifice in other areas to be able to afford to watch it.

You live in a country that extolls the virtues of equality and opportunity yet post your class ridden bile on here. Your legendary "im not supporting the club" stance when wilde took over looks even more foolish now you try to justify peoples return to st marys now the dark lord is back. Personally i would rather eat my own faeces than give lowe or wilde my hard earned money....saints and the supporting of them doesnt come into it.

Can you blame fans for considering that it's a waste of money to pay to watch crap? Sacrificing 24 quid? if the person had a ****e job with a low income then I would understand. I suppose football is like a movie. it's overrated and if it's ****, it won't have many fans . football is all about glory hunters. I just felt really disappointed about the turnout on the last home game. people keep making excuses why they can't turn up.

That's logic for you. As with any commodity, the better the quality of the product the more people are prepared to pay for it, and more often. A simple economic principle.
