Thedelldays Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Ticket tax punishes fans?? Dear god more swf lunacy.. I hope NC puts all tickets up by £3 next season at least and does away with the booking fee.. Might keep the mind numbers happy
dickyhale Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 I haven't really read through the comments but this is the truth. He was a good player for us its as simple as that. Allthough he has left he still was a good player for us I use to enjoy watching him play.

Might keep the mind numbers happy I think it's more likely the ticket prices will go up and the ticket tax will stay......... things cost more in the championship.
Thedelldays Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 I think it's more likely the ticket prices will go up and the ticket tax will stay......... things cost more in the championship. And in turn, if we see relative investment into the team... No problem for me

benjii Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 I can say with certainty that had I been there I would not have applauded him. Quite the opposite infact. We have some fans who sing a song in honour of Cortese so i'm not surprised at all at this - we have some right dimebars following us. You would have repetitively moved your hands away from each other?

Allthough he has left he still was a good player for us I use to enjoy watching him play. I haven't read it either so I'm trying to guess who you are talking about?
Saint-Fred Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 There are a few ex players I wouldn't spit on if they were on fire but I really don't see the harm in clapping the majority of ex-saints who play us as they leave the playing field to play no further part in the game. Are we so bitter we have to hate everyone who leaves the club or do we show a bit of class, acknowledge ex players and the fact that they were once Saints (and who possibly wish they still were?)
L1Minus10 Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Can't believe some of the stuff on this thread. People thinking he was a good player. BWP was with us for 3 years and he was shiite. During the playoff season he'd manage to go from 1st to 5th choice striker through being shiite behind Saga, Rasiak, Best and Jones Always offside because he had no brain When through 1 v 1, you always knew he'd miss Lazy s0d No football brain whatsoever No vision Got paid a fortune for doing **** all The handbag business I can't believe anyone clapped him. Call me childish but I booed and gave it the W A N K E R sign when he went off.
modern matron Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 If we need the extra money so much, how come we don't have a sponsor this season? The ticket tax just punishes some of our most loyal fans that live dotted around the country and don't have such easy access to go to the ticket office in person. I know quite a few who have had to pay out a fair bit this season because of it. Cortese is here as a businessman, looking to create a long-term return on Liebherr's original investment, I'm sorry if I find it cringeworthy that some fans sing a song about him because we're now in with a shout of promotion out of the third division What a load of tosh! Things are going WELL!!! Get a life.....
Griffo Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Loved this goal at Derby. The cut inside and the finish.. and of course the fatty whose belly pops out too. We had a quality support there that day. Bale's freekick was class.

I think he would have been good for us had he stayed with AP as manager.....

Mr_Red Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 wonderful what you can do with a bit of editing: Ha, he looks better than Delgado!!! For me, he wasn't a great player for us but he seemed like a nice lad - I remember him and Prutton (I think) being the only 2 players who sang the 12 days of Christmas with gusto (yes it was cringetastic, but a bit of a laugh I thought). The whole nightclub incident was just stupidity - but young footballers aren't normally the brightest buttons. In short, I wouldn't begrudge him a clap or two. Too much bitterness in the world these days.
brmbrm Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 I agree with Turkish. We should boo all our ex-players, irrespective of anything. And we should get our boos in early by booing them right now before they even leave the club and are still playing for SFC. Boo. That's because we are grown-ups, they aren't and like elephants we never forget. So boo.
Smirking_Saint Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 BWP has done well since he left us. Frankly this another example of Burley ****ing things up! I think he would have been good for us had he stayed with AP as manager..... He is going through a purple patch, it happens to a lot of players, but I would argue he has found his level. It really is crazy how many people forget just how bad he was when he played for us. Next year he will be back to the Bradley we know.
NickG Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 he is 26. He was a prem and CCC player until this season with his scoring rate per season 1,1,11,8,6,4 - average of 5 a season. First season in league 1 he has scored 17 goals. Good, but as above reckon its pacy player lacking in skill found level it works
hamster Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 I like to applaud Ll our ex staff including mNGers. I want them to think fondly of us. Redknapp the ex eption. I bet many would clap Pearson and he took us to within 1 goal of relegation. Doesn't make him a bad person neither does anyone clapping BWP IMVHO.

You should take a picture of your todger and PM it to Turkish.
hamster Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 /\ he couldn't afford the picture tax. Anyway, it's still sore and more than a little swollen ATM
latter day saint Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 The Cortese song is just embarrassing - that's why it's only sung by a few thick twonks in the Northam. actually it was started in the Kingsland North both times i've heard it but don't let facts get in the way of a good stereotype.
The9 Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 It was most of the ground, why? The bloke is a div. It wasn't anyone around me in the front half of Block 41 either, and we've got the mongs who were singing BWP songs in the first 5 minutes within earshot. Though to be fair after the 4 versions of the "David Connolly - we thought he was dead" song I let them off.
The9 Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 Ticket tax punishes fans?? Dear god more swf lunacy.. I hope NC puts all tickets up by £3 next season at least and does away with the booking fee.. Might keep the mind numbers happy As someone who has only paid it once, when utterly unavoidable, to get a ticket to AFC Bournemouth away this season I'd be even more p1ssed off with that than I was at its introduction in the first place. The addition of £3 to most tickets is purely a money-making exercise, and if all the tickets went up £3 next season at the expense of a ticket tax we'd hopefully just put it down to the promotion...

dune Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 Question r.e the Cortese tax. I tried booking tickets for Hartlepool and Wallsall online but couldn't work out how to do this in the same transaction so did them separately and payed a £6 Cortese Tax. Is this how it is or can you book different games and just pay the Cortese Tax once?
dune Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 actually it was started in the Kingsland North both times i've heard it but don't let facts get in the way of a good stereotype. Oh no. this means that thickos from the Northam are migrating to other parts of the ground/
hamster Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 Time to change the Cortese Tax to the Cortese Stop Saints Haemoraging Money We Don't Have Tax, I reckon. There are some pretty simple, easy to understand options for people next season IMO.
Turkish Posted 7 April, 2011 Author Posted 7 April, 2011 I agree with Turkish. We should boo all our ex-players, irrespective of anything.

That's because we are grown-ups, they aren't and like elephants we never forget. So boo. If you care to read the OP i said i dont mind it for ex players that were good lads and/or put a shift in for us. So you carry on booing you gimp.
hamster Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 The Wallace brothers didn't enamour themselves when they wanted to move on. Can't recall any booing at Danny's testimonial? Turks, please tell me that you don't really believe that you are right about everything all the time and this is just a little game you play for your own entertainment?
The9 Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 as you can see by our accounts...money has to come from somewhere at some point Liebherr's legacy was the plan initially, yet the tax was announced before he died. I don't mind us operating as a business, but let's be consistent, eh ? "No sponsor on the shirt" versus "I don't have to be inconvenienced to buy extra/away tickets for no additional fee" is an absolute no-brainer for me, logo me up.
Turkish Posted 7 April, 2011 Author Posted 7 April, 2011 The Wallace brothers didn't enamour themselves when they wanted to move on. Can't recall any booing at Danny's testimonial? Turks, please tell me that you don't really believe that you are right about everything all the time and this is just a little game you play for your own entertainment? Thats probably because Danny came through the youth team was a very good player and gave us 7 or 8 good years. I dont think i am always right but I cant remember the last time i was wrong.
St Matty Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 Ironic considering he was booed at half time. The bloke was sh*t for us a a total cock and sh*t last night. I dont mind giving ex players that were good lads and put a shift in for us but he is one player who definitely should not have been given one.Everyones entitled to their oppinion - i thought he tried hard for us - not the most skilful but did OK>
eurosaint Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 Is anybody going to tell me how the Cortese song goes ? Just so that I can recognise it next time, please ??
JRM Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 Is anybody going to tell me how the Cortese song goes ? Just so that I can recognise it next time, please ?? yeah it goes: he's got loadsa loada money cortese he's on a million a year cortese he charges the ticket tax cortese but everyone still loves him because he's not lowe, cortese

The fleeced/deceased rhyme is classic!! Think the Italia bit needs a bit of work, especially as he's Swiss.
Turkish Posted 8 April, 2011 Author Posted 8 April, 2011 The fleeced/deceased rhyme is classic!! Think the Italia bit needs a bit of work, especially as he's Swiss. But some Saints fans do sing, he come from Italy, he f*cking hates Pompey, so from that point of view it is correct.

I bet many would clap Pearson and he took us to within 1 goal of relegation. Doesn't make him a bad person neither does anyone clapping BWP IMVHO. It's all a matter of context. We were in freefall before Pearson came in and he kept us up. BWP came in when a promotion push was expected, commanded a reasonably large fee and didn't live up to his billing. You are right that it doesn't make you a villain clapping him, but it's understandable to find it distasteful.

The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 superb! wonder if those bemoaning those singing the other song would sing this? if they did would that be down to the fact it is better ( which it undoubtedly is) or that it fitted their opinions of Cortese? Honestly ? Slightly more accurately fits my opinion AND a zillion times better.
latter day saint Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 Honestly ? Slightly more accurately fits my opinion AND a zillion times better. as i said undoubtedly better than the original song.would hope Cortese could see the humour in it if he heard it but i doubt he would.
