saints_is_the_south Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 Just had this email from David Luker. Hi Lee We’re all concerned at the moment Current figure is 21k. All corners except the Itchen North are open currently. If demand for tickets is seen, this corner will open too. There were queues here before 8am this morning, and it’s been steady already. I would expect us to be very close or indeed over the 30k margin tomorrow given the simply amazing response seen so far. Hopefully we’ll have fundraising ideas to publish at some point today. Best wishes David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickmick Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 Would fans be against paying an extra £3 to go to the last 3 games ? It could raise an extra £200,000 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 Great news in David's email. Hope he's right. 30k for 3 home games would show this club is worth too much to too many people to let slip away. How about the club issuing fans an offer that they guarentee to buy a s/t next season? if we could get 15-20000 guarentors to purchase that would also send a message to investors.

That's a cracking idea. No need to take anyone's money just yet but it would be an almost guaranteed source of income for next season. Then if we go bust, nobody loses their money.

chappers Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 I am a lifelong Saints fan and now live in Christchurch. We should think positively about a new dawn for SFC now that those incompetent people have gone. I sent the wife upto Southampton to get 10 tickets for me, the kids and some of their friends. Now is the time to show real investors we are worth buying. So, if you have not got your ticket, please join the masses returning to SFC....and lets start taking the club forward.

Nineteen Canteen Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 Like you didn't when continually coming on here and supporting Lowe. Care to admit you were wrong?:mad: Supporting Lowe was our only option (like him or not), me and about 15,000 others who regularly attended home games knew that, but this morning it appears over 10-15,000 have somewhat tragically and belatedly woken up to the fact. Lowe didn't fail - our support did and I have been spouting all season that the fans who boycotted the club would bring about the demise through revenue reduction and offset any cost cutting measures the board tried. A simple logic that was beyond the grasp of many I'm afraid. I can hold my head high along with many other ST holders and regular attendees those who go to the game tomorrow for the first time this season are the ones who were wrong and need to hang your heads in shame. I hope no one stands next to me and my mates with some misguided bullish attitude boasting about it's good to be back or words to the effect (see Garret's earlier comments as a case in point) . Boycotting was not and never was going to be the answer and the cracks in the support are now like giant crevices as far as I am concerned and irreperable.

Nineteen Canteen Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 I think it's more a case of the fans rallying to spur the team on to a. avoid relegation and b. avoid oblivion. There will be a degree of relief about RL's departure, but mostly i feel a sense of excitement about seeing SMS full again and showing prospective buyers that we are a club worth saving. Do you think a prospective buyer can be hoodwinked so easily and a full house can avert them from completing some historical analysis. If so such crass due diligence wouldn't have been seen at this club since .......Oh yeah I remember, don't you?. We have acted to long like our brain power reflects our colloquial accents and we need to stop thinking like a bunch of hopeful village idiots.

You are wrong, I have two season tickets and have been to all the home games. The people who didn't go had that right and if the figures are correct have conclusively proved two things, one that Lowe/Wilde had a disasterously negative effect on the fanbase and that these fans are now supporting the club. What remains to be seen is if the prices return to normal for the last two games whether the support will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't want to insult an old comrade who joined arms against the masses with you along time a go and were eventually proven right, would you? They're just opinions, and mine has been since day one the dwindling support of the club would realise it's downfall and not Lowe. Why? Because the next man could equally prove to be just as unpopular and we have a recent history of apparently being unable to unconditionally get behind the team, the true definition of a supporter.

Ex Ringwood Saint Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 Anyone mentioned about paying membership??

badgerx16 Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 Supporting Lowe was our only option And if we had consistently acheived 28K crowds, would Rupes have understood that this was a show of resistance against him ? LOL The Board knew that having Lowelife back on the scene would antagonise a large part of their customer base, that was a gamble that has now come to it's inevitable, unfortunate, conclusion. The ONLY reason Rupes came back was in desperation to try to maintain some value in his shares, and the reason potential alternative investors were scared away was because of his inflated ego and asking price.
