They go up and down like a whores drawers at most REAL WORLD football clubs , just decide what it is YOU want/expect from buying a season ticket and if you get enough then buy one and if not then don’t ,, it’s that simple really ,, the rest is down to the owners and management to worry about In that case close the forum @David Any discussion on the club is down to Frank & Mel from now on!

God I hope he doesn’t close it as at times there’s real quality debate on here that most of us would miss,, then of course there’s the foot stamping toy throwing drivel/ trolling that if it goes past 2 pages is considered success by posters, ps is most times is the exact same subject matter that is being discussed in 2 or 3 other threads that are already running but somehow needs a new thread by a new poster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for constructive debate but the likes of yourself and @AdamRam don't seem capable of that. I don't know you and this is just an internet forum so have a great weekend! Can see why some people can be put off posting their opinions at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be renewing, despite there seemingly being so many more cons than pros in each column at the moment. I will continue to support as i have always done but i am very concerned by a fair few players at the club. I don't think a load of new signings is the answer either. Look new manager learning his trade and we all need patinces even sometimes but a win on saturday change the mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that might help. That's why I've pretty much ignored a thread titled 'Sack Frank' . So if some of this content is being discussed in there, now you know why.

You haven't 'given a bit back', just basically accused me of being a WUM for being concerned. As well as telling me to simply get a grip. A lot on here seem to think it was a valid topic of conversation even if they don't particularly agree. Which I'm all for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see why some people can be put off posting their opinions at times. You started a thread saying one month to save the “fans”. I quote fans, as this means more than just you, and for some reason you have given a selection criteria that needs to be met for this to happen and season ticket sales not to dip. You then go on to claim that the players aren’t arsed, and don’t put the effort in, and that is the very least we deserved. Fair enough, if you feel that you pay your money and you aren’t getting that, as I said don’t renew, except you didn’t like that response because it’s not what you wanted to hear. However the biggest thing for me is that you are claiming to be speaking for fans when this isn’t true, it is your opinion, one that I don’t share, and therefore when someone posts something that annoys me I will respond saying as such. My son is on the books of a certain club, and it’s people like you who make me think twice about him continuing down that route. He may one day be in a position that he has just lost a game or is coming off a bad season and someone accuses him of not caring or not trying hard enough, when the reality is that he has just played a team or a manager that is better than him, or even that he may not be good enough for what is required, or they deserve something because they have put themselves into debt to watch him. I know if it was me in my job I’d be pretty pissed off at such an accusation and it might have an impact on my mental health, so just because you pay your money, no I don’t think you have the right to make such assumptions, once again sorry if that upsets you but that’s a forum for you. There is an ignore button, put me on that if you wish and then you can’t see the replies, I honestly won’t be offended. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player, but hardly an electric turn of pace, mesmerising skill or even a sodding shot! If you think Hughes drawing in a foul because he didn't have pace to get away from anyone was exciting then you must be loving watching Huddlestone (who by the way has a better passing range than Hughes) run through treacle. Hughes is just the best player to come out of our academy - and definitely not exciting to watch on the whole. Agree. Great little footballer, plenty of skill and a lovely eye for a pass. But I wouldnt say he constantly got me out of my seat.. kinda like a Xavi as opposed to a Messi...not saying he wasn't good, just not in the same group as an Asanovic, Wanchope or Baiano. Funnily enough a Liverpool fan asked me today 'who was our best player...the fan's favourite '..... I was stumped really .. I wouldnt say there was individual 'I would pay to watch '.

Rev Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I've missed more than I've seen so far this season, so I'm in two minds myself. Do I renew now, or wait until the last day and renew? In theory I'd be better off buying tickets per match, but I'm also buying for my lad who turns 21 in October. This makes the maths less clear cut, thanks to the healthy discount on 18-22 season tickets, which isn't available on match day tickets. Another bonus is the date the club use for working out categories, Sept 1st, this means we can get the discount for another 3 seasons to come. Handily enough, we've got a free Saturday coming up due to the international break, anyone else in two minds about renewing take the missus out for the day shopping. Maybe start off with coffee and a Danish before being marched round the Intu for an afternoon, you'll get the same feeling of disappointment as going to the match, when she decides the shoes she really wants are in the first shop you've visited not the 10th, but without the buzz of alcohol to lessen the pain!

What we do see is a lot of comments like this that don't add anything to discussion from the 'holier than thou' brigade. Let's all meet in the middle somewhere and chat about a valid topic for a change instead of the superfan ******** people are so happy to parade.
