I find it amazing how some people refuse point blank to question any decision Cortes makes, we've had the installment fiasco, the freezing out of legends, the photographers ban and now loyal fans being refused season tickets for something they said. We are all grateful the club was saved by Leibherr and Cortese, no one wants them to go or is unhappy about what's happening in general - that doesn't mean you have to agree with every decision made. Some people need to grow some balls and be honest. If I was Cortese I would welcome constructive criticism, he is new to the industry he is in - he is going to make mistakes. The best way to improve in his role is to get honest feedback, not spineless "you saved our club so are correct sir Cortese".

I don't give a monkeys about Illingsworth, I've never met the bloke but he's obviously a bit of a t!t and the Saints Trust is just a vehicle for his big mouth. It's the principle that's important. If decent Saints supporters are being refused a season ticket because someone doesn't agree with what they said (which is how this appears) it's just plain wrong - this is not f*cking China.

There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with some of the clubs decisions Frank, just like if we question Adkins' decisions - doesn't mean we are unhappy with him as manager or want him sacked. Just means we disagree. I am more than happy with Cortese, what he and the Leibherr's have done is fantastic. I wouldn't want any other owners. Still think fans shouldn't be refused a season ticket for what they say though.

I agree, it is pathetic. Whenever I have seen him quoted or on TV it is obviously just one bloke giving an opinion. Anyone who has a problem with that has issues IMO.

Because they want to?

I think you will find the media call him "Saints Trust Chairman" because he is the Saints Trust Chairman, not exactly his fault. The media do it because it sounds better than "we're here at St Mary's talking to some ugly bloke".

This thread is just going round in circles.

It would be fantastic if it all came crashing down.

Seriously, what is that logo supposed to be? Looks like a Devils fork and a broom!

I would guess it was his criticism of the ST installment fiasco, fits in with Cortese's other dummy-out-of-pram moments.

I seriously doubt he's hacked off with Illingsworth because the beer was a bit expensive at some party.

Delldays, I doubt Cortese even went to Silverspoons, he probably made his own arrangements.

You're assuming Nick still wants to go on a game by game basis, I would tell them to go poke it. At best I would cherry pick the occasional good game. I fail to see how turning down £400 odd ST money is in the interest of SFC.

I think if you had been refused a ticket and not told why you would be annoyed. Anyway, wether it was for something he said (he was scathing about the ST thing) or something he did (Tshirts, Wembley thing etc) I still don't see how it is in SFC's interest to not take his money.

So in short, it's OK for the club to refuse to sell you a ticket without giving any reason because you don't know what the reason is so it may be valid.

Sounds more like wrong driving technique than wrong place or time, he has every wright to claim what he wants.

It's not a big deal and certainly hasn't put a downer on our win but that doesn't mean it should not be discussed. I think how the club treats it's supporters effects all of us, if you are refused a ticket next time you go an not told why I expect you wouldn't be too happy.

OK, I agree. Based on the information we have, this looks like petty, spitefull, childish b@ll@cks from the club.

Is that not what Adjudications do?

That was a massive win, kept in touch with all our rivals after a very tricky fixture. Well done Adkins.

Whatever the club's views on the trust I don't see what SFC has to gain through not letting an individual buy a season ticket? Petty, childish b@llocks.

Retarded decision by the club, I think Illingsworth is a complete nob but it is still wrong.

Every single club that goes into admin have a "this could be our last game" moment. They wont be liquidated.

get in!

Questions have to be asked why we can play Man U off the park for 50mins then be utter garbage against Exeter.
