Bucks Saint Posted 22 May, 2014 Share Posted 22 May, 2014 You are (again) missing my point If you went to the cinema TODAY, you would know what film is on On 30th May, will you know what SFC's " New Project " is ?? Doesn't look like it Blind Faith is one thing, but, to me £700+ is a lot to pay out before being told what's on the menu You obviously have no money worries and are more than happy to take Pot Luck Helps explain why crowds, while still good, were 10k lower in L1. Some people need real assurance about the likely quality, some dont make that a condition of their support. Each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Bob Posted 22 May, 2014 Share Posted 22 May, 2014 But surely, you buy 19 tickets to see Southampton FC? You will be guaranteed 19 tickets to see Southampton FC. So you do know what you will be buying. It's more like paying to see a film, without knowing all the characters, plot-twists etc. There's always a chance the team are going to have a bad year. But I want to know, are we going to get sub-titles so we can understand our foreign players, if not I'm voting UKIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzel Posted 22 May, 2014 Share Posted 22 May, 2014 Ah but that's the foolish attitude and one that presumes that I will be happy year on year to spend this amount in an unquestioning manner. Business is business. You **** off your customers and they might not come back (not that I am ****ed off). You may be able to replace them and then that's all well and good. So conversely the club should never make any major signings after the deadline because the ST holders weren't expecting to see them on the pitch? Say we go and buy Bale and Ronaldo next week. Will you happily voluntarily stump up some extra cash? You pay to see the game, there is never and never has been a guarantee of who will take part or what tactics will be employed. 50% of what you get to see is the opposition - what if all 19 decide to come and park the bus because we are such a great side? What if we aim for a European place and our star striker gets a long term injury 3/4 way through the season. Football is a game of uncertainties on and off the pitch, if you can't accept that then you really shouldn't be buying a season ticket. I'm sure the club is well aware that of people don't like what they see they might not come back. But they aren't stupid enough to give any guarantees .

Jez Posted 22 May, 2014 Share Posted 22 May, 2014 And that's it in a nutshell really The Club talk about the future as " A New Project " What is it ?? Existing Season Ticket holders have until 30th May (EIGHT days) to renew, but have NO idea what "The Project" will be Would you buy tickets for a Cinema or Theatre without knowing what was on, and who was in the production ??? Of course not I agree many would not renew if Manager and Players left, but, are we likely to be told BEFORE the 30th May deadline Of course not One of the worst points/examples I have ever seen anyone make on here. People have annual memberships to go to the cinema with no idea what will be appearing in the future. And as many other people have said, you buy to watch Saints generally, not to watch 2 specific players and the manager and you always know exactly what you will see. When the fixtures get announced, you will know exactly what you will be watching in May 2015, the location, time, opponents etc. You won't know who will be playing for either side, but why does that matter when you are a Saints fan? You'll be watching the club regardless of personnel and opponents... unless you're not really a fan of Saints at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Warrior Posted 22 May, 2014 Share Posted 22 May, 2014 I still maintain my belief that MP will still be our manager next season and beyond. despite the constant rumour propaganda being spouted about Nothing has swayed me otherwise. While Luke maybe off Im stil optomistic that Adam may remain with us I want him to be the next Saints Legend and see his face on the banner above.

Doesn't look like it Blind Faith is one thing, but, to me £700+ is a lot to pay out before being told what's on the menu You obviously have no money worries and are more than happy to take Pot Luck As you were writing this did you think about how ridiculous your argument is? You buy a ticket to a football match on the premise that you know which teams are playing. Nothing more, nothing less. The same applies to an individual match ticket or a season ticket. You don't know (with 100% certainty) the players that will play in the game or who the managers will be. Now I would understand if you had said that the uncertainty generated by press reports over potential transfers of some of our players is making you uneasy about the quality of the side that Saints will field next season and the information coming from the club about this situation is not resolving our concerns. Unfortunately you didn't say that, you came up with the ludicrous comparison to buying a cinema ticket. About a week ago you threatened to withdraw your long standing support unless you got guarantees that everything in the Saints garden would be rosy for next season, well before the transfer window has officially opened. If you really meant that I suggest you keep the £700 in your pocket as you must know that in football it is impossible to get the sort of guarantees you are asking for and that as a fan all you can do is support the team.

Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 22 May, 2014 Share Posted 22 May, 2014 I remember when we sold/released everyone in the championship. After the initial panic I became quite excited about the prospect of watching a new young saints team with some random dutch blokes in charge. Yeah it went wrong but it became quite entertaining to see the odd win with such a cheap limited side. Plus there were a few players with potential in there. Then relegated to L1, it became novel playing new clubs, a new start, signings, being the big club and winning most weeks! Then failure, but another season of wins and likely promotion. Then returning to the championship with a good team. Point is, there's always something to look forward to in the season if you want. It's rarely boring. Saints will either keep players and MP and have another very good season, or lose some players and have a rebuilding period, new signings to see, maybe a new manager, maybe some new youngsters like Reed or JWP excelling? It's not boring is it and I'll be watching whenever possible. was reading the standard this eve. They seem to think it is a done deal to be announced next week.

notnowcato Posted 22 May, 2014 Share Posted 22 May, 2014 Where can I get a season ticket for my local cinema? What is a "season" in the cinema world?

Brave Sir Robin Posted 22 May, 2014 Share Posted 22 May, 2014 I'd be very disappointed if I was a Spurs fan and they sign Poch. If they're serious about trying to get into the Champions league, they should be signing Rafa Benitez or Klinsmann. They were after Van Gaal a few weeks ago. This would be a clear sign that at worst they're resigned to living in Arsenal's shadow for at least another season, and at best they're willing to take a risk and/or don't want to/can't spend big.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 22 May, 2014 Share Posted 22 May, 2014 Even if he stays this year, we're going to go through this rigmarole every summer. Listening to the times podcast ,Marcotti was saying the guy is ambitious and really believes he can manage barca or real Madrid. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but he only sees us as a stepping stone to a bigger club. The consensus on that podcast was he'd be perfect for spurs, but would it be a good career move and maybe he'd be better off waiting until a better job came along.
