Tommorow - Night in, **** on TV, family stuff. Drink. Xmas Day - Drive Step-Daughter round to see her family whilst missus works 6-2, round parents for Xmas dinner. Drink. Boxing Day - Up at 6am to go and pick my kids up. Parteh to the kids in the afternoon. 27th - Find some family stuff to do. 28th - Wake the kids up obsenely early so I can get them back to Canterbury in time for me to get to the footy in the arvo. * Where is the - What do you expect in 2009 thread? Those are much more fun, Xmas is sh!te, New Years are good. * They actually have to be back for a family meal, not because I want to go to the football, although that is convenient too.

Firstly you patronising ****, I am pushing into my 30's with 2 kids and a mortgage, so don't give me the sh!t about paying adult prices. ******** to peoples financial situations affecting the crowds that much. People can't find £20 to come and watch Saints in the CHampionship, you can bet that they would easily find double that if we were in the Premiership. You do seem stuck up your own arse, especially with the 'chav' comments. If chavs - whom the definition is lower class council estate rats - can find the money to go to football, as you say they do, then how come working people cannot? If you had actually been to SMS this year, you would have actually seen that most of the games, the players have shown they cared, they just have not been good enough. As for the attendances. 19k was about the break even point, if you get less than that, you lose money. The person who done the Maths and said we would still lose money.... you are obviously forgetting all the extra revenues from Programmes, MegaStore, Burger Vans etc etc. 19k is the break even point, that is/was fact. This has been confirmed by directors in the past. A Championship Clubs main source of income is through the gates, if people don't come, we go bust.... IT REALLY IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT. Once again, just incase it did not ring clear enough. - All of the 'fans' you don't bother turning up week in, week out are putting the nails in the coffin, as a direct result of these actions, we are going bust -

It is not a simplistic view. Our 'break-even' point is about 19k.... we are getting 15k.... that means we are losing money. 27k is considerably more than the break even point...... which means we make money. True or False? Yes people like you are plastics and have no right to call yourself a supporter, a 'fan' yes, not a supporter though, you admit you don't care anymore, and it is people like you that are banging in the nails for the coffin holding SFC. That simple, simplistic if you want, but it is a fact.... the people staying away are costing the club money, which is sending the business bankrupt..... FACT, not if's, no buts..... FACT

Walking out before the end of the game after watching that crap week in, week out is fully justified. I think it is f*cking disgusting that people come out of the woodwork so much at the sight of cheap tickets and Manchester United. The FACT is that if all these people turned up every week with the 15,000 loyals, we wouldn't be broke, facing administration, having to sell our best players and playing the youth team with an inept manager. The Northam are fully justified to mock the plastics and hold their season tickets in the air, at the end of the day, it's mostly the plastics themselves who find it annoying. 15,000 loyals = administration 27,000 every week = Money to spend, decent players, decent coach. It realy is that simple. The fact is the Northam Stand has the highest concentration of STH's in the stadium and is the biggest contributor to away attendances, without them we would have hardly anyone following Saints at home or away. So yes, Northam fans are the loyal 'super' fans. Glad we got that cleared up.

Why shouldn't STH's mock the plastics? I spent most of the 2nd half doing so. ( and if that mong who thought he could offer out the Northam at the end of the game when walking out is watching, you are a c*nt and hopefully you won't be back again ) At the end of the day, if we had crowds like that every week, we would have money to spend and not be going broke. "Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrradley Wright-Phillips, he hates plastic fans"

I could tell you all what I done this weekend, but I would only make you jealous, so I won't bother. Boring c*nts. You wish you were me.

Yep, I agree, all you plastic fans turn up on Saturday and take advantage of the cheap tickets, won't be seeing you lot again till last game of the season no doubt, oh, unless there or more cheapo offers on, you gimps. Keep SMS to the 15,000 loyals thanks.

It's not Jan's fault he is a sub-standard manager, it is Lowes fault f'sure. At the end of the day, if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

Friday - Pub Saturday - Absolutely immense pub crawl revolving around the footy, lots of funny stories, including abusing ginger corrie actors, counted 11 pubs visited, some very obscure ones, copius amounts of beer. Sunday - Recover, recover, recover, then out to missus mates for some food. Good stuff. 8/10 You wish you were me.

Tommy, he got killed by a spanner. lol Arrogant tosser, someone should have slapped him.

Good day yesterday, 11 pubs in total, drink, drugs, nightclubs and abusing that ginger mong from Corrie who was in the Plume. Looking good for a 9/10, depends how good a spread Sev and his missus put on.

People who can't be arsed and are too lazy to park in a designated parking space and pay the £2ish = scum of the earth

Well as it is against season ticket regulations, they can have their season ticket revoked for buying tickets for an away fan. If that doesn't work then hopefully any Mancs in the home end will make themselves known and get a good slapping for their troubles.

Got my 12 tickets. Happy days, oh to be a season ticket holder. :cool: I see the Itchen Stand are rising.

WHat a nightmare this ticket booking lark is. The phone just keeps cutting me off after waiting on there for 5 minutes, Online booking is not selling the block I want! Even the block next to it I have gone through the ticket request about 10 times trying to get them to pick suitable seats, I thought the new ticket system was in that would allow us to book tickets online seat by seat? I want to be in Block 2 near the back, I can't get block 2 and the furthest to the back it will pick on the 'upper' option is row R! FFS!!!!

One last thing, I hope that the Ticket Office release a statement saying that anyone who gets a second ticket for a fan is responsible for them, and their season tickets will be revoked if they sell them on to Mancs. Knowing our fanbase there will be loads of mongs who do exactly that. On a sidenote, I have inherited loads of new friends, ticket requests for this one are well into double figures, to be fair as well, most of them are from decent Saints lads who didn't get a ST but attend almost every home and away game all season, gotta feel for them. I can't help but think that the Ticket Office have made a boob on allowing 2 tickets per STH

Nah, not mugs, just stupid. :-)

It is for me, booking 10 tickets for STH mates in the Itchen North tommorow, none of them need any extras, so I shall be getting an extra 10 to sell on to non- STH mates.... at a price, of course. :cool:

Right, let's put this whole Jamie Turner thing into perspective... He was not a quiet family man, he was a bloke who had been on Man Utd board days before inciting violence and pitch invasions. He was walking through a notorious estate, past a notorious club drawing attention to him and his group, only minutes before kick-off. His minibus load of mates who were all there with him..... not one could give a statement and say what happened.... why is that? Face it, Jamie Turner came looking for trouble, found it and came worse off. No sympathy for him. No doubt the club will take a different view and make him guest of honour or something stupid like that.

Hopefully they will find a way of rewarding the loyal fans and making all the plastics pay more.

TopGun, don't you work in marketing and websites and the like? :shock: If so, you are not seriously telling me that you use Alexa for small to medium websites? ( Christmas Bargain Shop is a small, but very targeted website with targeted marketing ) Alexa is a market share programme, it only records peoples movements who have an Alexa toobar installed, which is about 0.1%, so for a small website, the statistics produced are waaaaaaaaaaaaay off the mark! CBS is getting about 100 unique visitors a day, but at the moment I have not started marketing, only on AdTrader. Will start pushing it this week. £70 is easy peasy. 2 completed referrals from my website to mobiles.co.uk , £35 commision on each completed transaction. I have had 936 clicks from my websites to my merchants websites this month, and £270 in the bank, for spending zilch, well £11 on the website. Who says affiliate marketing doesn't work? :cool:

Just checked my commision for today on http://www.christmasbargainshop.co.uk (cheep plug, if they have not filtered it ) Ironically, the figure for today stands at a sweet £70.... we may well be on for a b-anter coup...

Not a f*cking chance. Infact I am considering taking over as b-anter chief.

Talking of Christmas Number Ones, a mate of mine had a crack at recording a song a couple of years ago, got into the top 20 'n' all. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6x0nTP9b9fs

Another reason why I was desperate to get away from you and your gay twin...
