I really don`t know if you are serious or a WUM, both on this or on other threads, but there is a distinct whiff of desperation about your posts now. It really has gone past the stage of being funny. Everybody has a right to question decisions made by NC but surely it has to be done in a constructive manner? All that I have seen from you are hysterical, sensationalist over-the-top bleatings. If you are not happy with what he has decided, contact him, try and engage in dialogue and see what his response is. Being a "cyber-warrior" may give you a hard-on but it is extremely tiresome for the rest of us.

Not true. Look at my cinema example. I even booked tickets for the cinema, printed my own ticket and STILL paid a booking fee! Most theatres now, if done over the phone or online will charge a booking fee PLUS a handling charge in some cases.

Hae you tried buying theatre or concert tickets lately?? I bought two tickets for Cineworld the other day and had to pay a booking fee even though I booked on line. It`s the modern world I am afraid.

As I said in my post, I think that the club has handled the situation very badly. I can understand some people being upset about the axing of the installment plan and the introduction of Dunes "stealth tax". I also accept peoples right to express their discontent (this is a forum after all) but I just think that some of the hysterical over reaction is quite breath-takingly ridculous. Would I stop going to matches over a £3.00p per transaction charge? Of course not. Am I upset because the plan has been stopped? I paid in installments last year but in previous years I scrimped and scraped the money together to buy my ST outright and will do so again this year. After all, Saturdays wouldn`t be the same without Saints!

...and it IS NOT per ticket. Buy more than one ticket and the £3.00p is spread.

There you go, putting common-sense arguments, when a rant at this money-grabbing, pathetic club is quite clearly the thing that you should be doing.

This is histrionic nonsense. It has only been a few years that Saints have offered a payment plan. Prior to that, if you wanted a ST you either paid straight out for it, if you could afford it, or you didn`t have one. This didn`t effect attendances at all. To suddenly be up in arms and accuse the club of introducing a "Means test" is ludicrous. Go into John Lewis or any other retailer and buy a TV to watch the World Cup on and see if they will let you pay in 3 or 4 chunks oer the next 6 months and see if they`ll do it without signing up for an expensive credit agreement.. They might sell you a credit card to do it. Why should SFC, which is a business be any different? I totally agree that the situation has been handled badly by the club, but some of the hysterical bleating on here over the last couple of day have been unbelievable.

A cost is a cost however you look at it. If there was no £3.00p then the administration cost would have to come from somewhere else. It all adds to the bottom line.

Judging by some posters on here, how do you know that he isn`t?

You`re right. I booked two tickets for the cinema online last week and that included a booking fee.

I think that it is quite in order to question NC`s actions but there are some on here who now view him as the bastard love child of Ming the Merciless.

Dune doesn`t need evidence to make his mind up about anything. That just gets in the way.

ML completely trusts NC to run his business. Shouldn`t we gie a bit of trust too?

I think that we read it on a Poopey forum first!
