Why aren't Manchester City and Liverpool demanding their 8,000 rightful allocation at Old Trafford?

Why aren't Manchester City and Liverpool demanding their 8,000 rightful allocation at Old Trafford?

Pretty sure you're the person who took this thread into the discussion about away allocation and brought up your outrage about the 8,000 tickets we should have at Old Trafford. So Liverpool not getting a 7/8,000 allocation at OT (when they could probably fill it most seasons) is just for them to sort out between themselves, but Saints not getting it (when we don't need it, at all) is "unfair". Good oh. Crystal clear.

All dreams and ambition went out the door about a year ago and has never been seen since.

Let me know when you have written to a the Premier League and the FA to take on this "patently unjust" situation. I am sure Manchester City and Liverpool will be desperate to support you, what with it being "patently unjust" and everything. They must be simply desperate to demand 10% allocation of Old Trafford, simply desperate. Because it is "patently unjust" isn't it? So patently unjust.

£75 a hour (sometimes way more than that) across a standard year would be £146k a year. So fair play to your missus for pulling that kind of wedge for nursing.

What about those millions of fans they gained in the far east? Will no one think of them?

Genuine LOL.

I've said the same thing throughout this thread, its crystal clear. You want me to "back up" the idea that some people in authority can write a set of guidelines? Now, I think I am right in saying that in British corporate, legal, sporting and governmental history there have been one or two instances when guidelines have been drawn up. Happy to be proven wrong.

Because you know full well why and it destroys your pointless argument. I accept your apology.

I'm not here to fuel your what-about-ery. Those convicted of crimes of sexual violence including rape and serious sexual assault should not be permitted to play professional league football, with the FA, PFA and the Leagues working together to devise the guidelines they sign up to, with inputs from people who understand the classification of the crimes involved. I think that is perfectly possible like all guidelines of this type which humanity have managed to draw up on lots of subjects for a good while now. I think it is perfectly possible. You don't. Fine.

Not answering the question then.

Ask the people who decided rape and touching her fanny are not the same.

Why are you talking about Burnley fans now, not Liverpool or Man City fans? You not going to answer my question on why those clubs haven't demanded an end to this "patently unjust" system? Because it's patently unjust isn't it? Isn't it?

Rape and "touching her fanny" is the same is it? Funny, thought there were laws that defined things. Lines can be, and are, drawn. All the time, on everything. Sad you can't get that.

Let's stop shall we, whatever I say you'll pick holes in it, make out its some huge grey area so let's not bother at all and fingers crossed let's have Saints squad jam packed with rapists. If I'd have said "all sexual assault" you'd have just come out with a "what if" from the extreme end of that scale. There would be a line that can be drawn. life is full of ambiguity. Sorry about that.

We had a blank canvas of a ground back in 2001, the singers decided they wanted to be next to the away fans, whose position was fixed. The architects gave us a four sided ground. Grounds everywhere are getting quieter. I actually think our best bet of preserving the atmosphere is to keep the singers from both sides together. Relocating the Northam Saints singers to, say, the Chapel I don't think would improve the atmosphere. But as someone who goes to more aways than homes it's not something I will claim expertise on. The 10% rule I will.

Steve Grant on here has explained how the Northam end as we know it came about, and it was nothing to do with Lowe. The 10%/3,000 rule is not "arbitrary". It's perfectly fair, and suits our needs perfectly. Tickets for OT still on general sale, not suggesting a demand for 7 or 8 thousand of them.

This is a tangent: Hope that's clear.

You could ask the victims of Luke McCormack. I'm sure they'll thoroughly enjoy your exploration of this obviously vague grey area.

You got a hiding in that thread for deciding that the anodyne phrase "our thoughts and prayers are with" was tantamount to religious fundamentalism and decided to start comparing the use of that phrase to the actions of religious nut parents who refuse life saving treatment on religious grounds. It was easily one of the most ridiculous trains of thought ever seen on this forum, and I don't blame you for running away from it. You've been on this forum long enough for people to know you are autistic and can't process the world in a recognised way, so maybe we should all cut you a little slack. Unfortunately your Clark Carlisle stuff was just too ludicrous to ignore.

Hypo - it's just been on the BBC 10 O'Clock News, and frankly there is no other way to interpret what he said. What a di ck.

The phrase "in the same breath" springs to mind. Mentioning that in the same interview is dropping an astonishing bol lock.

500 words. Bosh. Will this do?

As it stands they haven't got much football to show next season, a bit of Euro quals and then the tournament in Summer 2016. Even if they win the highlights package for the Prem presumably that's from next year not next season (I think). Imagine Lee Dixon will be the man from now on.
