alpine_saint Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 This type of post brings me back to when the Wilde bunch rode into town, You really are a sore loser..
badgerx16 Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 They didnt come up with the goods obviously.There was talk of somebody on the eve of administration but couldnt get the funds together.Another Fulthorpe it seems. Or not willing to place the same inflated value on the club as Rupert ?
OldNick Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Again...you just run around in circles....Stupert was the board, ask those to whom opposed him.Well if they were so weak minded they dont deserve to be part of any board. What a pathetic bunch they must have been if they didnt have the balls to stand up and be counted.I suggest that it want the case as if I recall the board outvoted him regarding Hoddle.
Um Bongo Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 This is about ticket sales ffs. I dont give a flying f **** about Lowe, **** off somewhere else if you want to argue. GROW UP
Artic Milton Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 This is a time for fans to unite and get behind the team/Club FFS! Forget all the "I'm a better fan than you/where were you earlier this season" cr*p!
WestSaint Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 And if it's too little too late? Still welcome back the rubberneckers because that is what they amount to? Typical - A commercial business goes bust, so lets blame the customers shall we!! not those whose mismanaged it - ie Lowe and Co
Gingeletiss Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 They didnt come up with the goods obviously.There was talk of somebody on the eve of administration but couldnt get the funds together.Another Fulthorpe it seems. nick.........you keep throwing up these misty quotes, but don't give ant facts. If you have something to say, then say it, as you appear to be the only (ITK) person to be saying this.
OldNick Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Or not willing to place the same inflated value on the club as Rupert ?Badger if you had an ice cream business and the fridges packed up and it was all melting away, along comes somebody comes along and wants to buy the lot what would you say? Well thye are £1 a scoop or think this is my chance to get out and let them go at 5p or 10 p or whatever he offered.

What a pathetic bunch they must have been if they didnt have the balls to stand up and be counted.I suggest that it want the case as if I recall the board outvoted him regarding Hoddle. In the end...they did, hence the end of Stupert chapter 1.
OldNick Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 nick.........you keep throwing up these misty quotes, but don't give ant facts. If you have something to say, then say it, as you appear to be the only (ITK) person to be saying this.It was reported on tv.
alpine_saint Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 This is about ticket sales ffs. I dont give a flying f **** about Lowe, **** off somewhere else if you want to argue. GROW UP Absolutely. I suggest those crying in their beer about his departure go and bleat about it on another thread..
badgerx16 Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Badger if you had an ice cream business and the fridges packed up and it was all melting away, along comes somebody comes along and wants to buy the lot what would you say? Well thye are £1 a scoop or think this is my chance to get out and let them go at 5p or 10 p or whatever he offered. If the alternative was to wash the melted mush down the drain, I'd take his offer. Rupe's would hold out for the full amount and find himself knee deep in a raspberry ripple lake without a penny to buy a mop.

miserableoldgit Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Typical - A commercial business goes bust, so lets blame the customers shall we!! not those whose mismanaged it - ie Lowe and Co A very pertinent post.

itchen Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 At 1.45pm we'd sold 24k So will we sell out the rest? Given that everyone, from the administrator to the Echo, is making such a big thing of "selling out to attract investment" will it look bad if we get anything less than a full ground?
saints_is_the_south Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 I imagine there will be a large walk up tomorrow. David Luker said to me that the TO are urging all fans who have bought over the phone to try & collect tonight as opposed to tomorrow as there will be large ques. Ticket office also open til 8pm tonight so plenty of time for people to get their tickets on the way home from work.
tombletomble Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Whats has been our biggest gate of the season so far?
saints_is_the_south Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 (edited) Whats has been our biggest gate of the season so far? Forest in the league i think? about 26k. Man Utd in the cup 32k Edited 3 April, 2009 by saints_is_the_south
slickmick Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Whats has been our biggest gate of the season so far? 32000 Man Utd.
Bristol_Benji Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 this seems to me that there are genuine concerns that we won't sell out: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11587 given the publicity we're receiving, this game will probably highlight the club more than any other this season. We must sell-out!
saints_is_the_south Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 (edited) 23k sold as of 3pm, thats 2.5k sold as of opening time this morning (7 hours). 5 hours left today & 7 tomorrow to shift 9.5k tickets seems a bit of a big ask. At a rate of 2.5k per 7 hours we'll end up with an attendance of around 28/29k. Edited 3 April, 2009 by saints_is_the_south
Dicko Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 If we don't sell out, I assume those non-attendees don't care if the club goes under
badgerx16 Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 If we don't sell out, I assume those non-attendees don't care if the club goes under I am afraid I will be a non-attendee, do to a combination of geography and family commitments, but I most certainly DO care :mad:
saintray Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Booked my tickets half an hour ago and was told 26,000 tickets sold
nathan Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 I have a feeling that the ticket staff may just make a rough guess when giving out numbers!!!
saints_is_the_south Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Booked my tickets half an hour ago and was told 26,000 tickets sold Somebody is telling porkies. Luker quoted me at 23k at 3pm. If we can reach 26 or 27k by the end of today then i think we'll sell out with the walk up tomorrow.
Nexstar Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Somebody is telling porkies. Luker quoted me at 23k at 3pm. If we can reach 26 or 27k by the end of today then i think we'll sell out with the walk up tomorrow. Hmm, I find it hard to believe we only shifted 500 in 3 hours since midday...
OldNick Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 does the buyer know the fridge has packed up?not if he's dealing with Lowe.
saints_is_the_south Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Hmm, I find it hard to believe we only shifted 500 in 3 hours since midday... Does seem strange considering 1.5k was sold this morning in 4 hours. I'll get another update around 5pm.
OldNick Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Does seem strange considering 1.5k was sold this morning in 4 hours. I'll get another update around 5pm. The ticket office have posted on here before, so suggest to them to give us an update rather than you having to keep calling in.
saints_is_the_south Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 The ticket office have posted on here before, so suggest to them to give us an update rather than you having to keep calling in. I'm not calling in, just keep dropping Mr Luker an email every couple of hours.
Ticket Office Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 current figure is approaching 23.5k. We have had a 7k walkup before on a matchday, so there is no reason to think we cant sell out. We are open until 8pm tonight also. Thank you all who have emailed me ideas for fund generation at this crucial time. Best wishes David

Nexstar Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Yeah and I guess quite a few will go and get them after work today/morning tomorrow.

It's so refreshing to have such open communication, it has such a positive impact on all concerned.

FarehamRed Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Does anyone know if the club shop is also open until 8pm tonight?

Honest question: (because I haven't seen you post on here for a while) Did Rupert Lowe ban you from posting on here? That sounds like the sort of thing he might do. Keep them sales going!
solentstars Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 If we don't sell out, I assume those non-attendees don't care if the club goes under did they ever care.
darren Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Many thanks David. It's so refreshing to have such open communication, it has such a positive impact on all concerned. yes it does

Best wishes David buy yourself a ticket, buy for friends and your children - show the players that SFC means something to us not just a plc disappearing. Trying to persuade my children that this is more important than a friends party!

OldNick Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 get someone who knows what they are doing to repair them' date=' not a dutch coach[/quote']We were not talking about that event, we were debating whether he would not ever sell his shares. But I wouldnt get a dutchman to repair it unless it was Haagen Daas Ice cream
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 thanks David. Honest question: (because I haven't seen you post on here for a while) Did Rupert Lowe ban you from posting on here? That sounds like the sort of thing he might do. Keep them sales going! not sure you'll get an answer to this!
fareham saint phil Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Whenever we passed the ground there was a good line of people buying tickets, when i was there Leon Crouch walked past and shouted to all of us "keep believing", in a funny way made me feel better
