Fan The Flames

Interesting.

No we got the 'chance to have a dig at saints fans' version

Nick up to the point when you started this sh*t thread 60 posts had been added to the post match thread, so it was hardly quiet. Also we were playing away from home a lot of people who post would still be travelling. Where you expecting another post Derby embarrassment. It would suit you to think there are many people seething at a victory but it just isn't true, 99% on here prefers us to win and there is only one fan I can remember who has publicly stated that they wanted us to lose and that is your crush, the great Scooby.

Nick you are one of a few on here who continues to voice your support of Lowe, your opinion entitled to it and all that. So the moment you don't want to talk about about it's boring, mate that is the lamest line ever.

Older person, I thought it was clearly established earlier on in this thread that the two are not mutually exclusive.

Because this is a thread, albeit a comedy one, about Lowe. And because in our present condition the governace of our club is a very pertinent.

Judging by your admiration of Scabby, were you meant to type I'd love his spittle up my keyhole

The only truth in it is that we are 4 points away from the playoffs the rest is the continuing parody so loved by the few Lowe supporters left.

We could get in to the top half of the table on Tuesday.

What did Lowe score the goals

Out of the bottom three will do for me. Well done lads.

He is so good Newcastle went for Joe Kinnear

And all of them live in Doncaster and Portsmouth

Another ‘the demise of this cub is all the fault of the stay away fans’ thread. Have the Muppets got together and drawn up a time table of who should post when or is it simply a competition among our cloth eared friends who can mount the best prosecution of the fans of our club. They must think that if it is said enough times the people will believe it. The Muppets have stooped low this time they are starting to make fools of themselves. A club gets less fans the lower the division they are in, the attendances held up well at St Mary’s until this season, people are fed up. Every club up and down the country experiences it, Man Citys figures were an exception (held up by cutting ticket prices and season or two of fun, if they stayed there who knows what would have happened to their attendance figures) Guided Missile the Big Bird of forum.

We are in this financial mess because we have gone down and our answer is to play with a team that may go down. This will heap more trouble on to a bad situation. I see people are talking about rebuilding if we went down, we have heard that before a couple of years ago. How about using all the squad members.

After 23 pages you finally get it Nick

It seems you need straightening out again. There is a phenomenon in football that goes something like this; you get lower crowds the lower the division you are in. Apart from a small minority this isn’t a boycott. Of course the crowds at Newcastle have not suffered much because they are in the top flight, but when their average attendance fell to 16,000 was this because they were boycotting, no it’s because they went down a division. You really do not know much about football or are just clutching at straws if you are trying to blame the attendance figure on a boycott. The fans are staying away for other reasons. Do you really think the more you bang on about it that people will start to believe it, the people know the truth that the ills at our club are not the making of us fans. Also clubs going bust is still as rare as it was when Aldershot went under, the only other league clubs to have suffered this way in my time was Newport County and Maidstone. So you can stop with the emotional blackmail.

Yes you are minus the Bruce and the Inson

That sounds spot on, shame we can't get it in Kent.

Its not a boycott, its worse than that, its apathy. Wake up muppets all is not well on Fraggle Rock.

The attendances would not drop as according to many on here we have 14,000 loyal hard core fans.

About what I wonder

He did achieve a modicum of success and it was his failure not to build on that success that has lead us to where we are now. So even if it was once a good tenure (and I don’t know if I agree with that) it can still turn bad and attract dissatisfaction. I agree with Vectis above that only a few people are boycotting because of Lowe’s return, people are not coming because we are in a lower division (a phenomenon that exists the world over), because money is tight, time is tight and because people are fed up with the situation. I am not advocating a boycott (and I am not undertaking one), because I fear the motives of the people involved and what their plans are if we do go into administration. But this is a train crash waiting to happen and it can not be avoided if we are run along the same lines as we have been and no amount of rally calls will stop it, and if fans do turn up it will only delay the inevitable. Staying away is not about achieving anything it’s just how people feel.

You as an older punter should know that there was life before the reverse take over and that we actually finished higher, reached Europe and won the FA Cup before Lows yet you talk about Lowe’s reign as if it was the golden era. Also you keep going on about us going bust, what clubs in the top three divisions have actually gone bust and by that I mean cease to exist for a period, none. Clubs have gone into administration and have continued bit the only clubs I can think of that have gone bust are Aldershot, Maidstone and Newport County. So it’s all a bit of an idle threat, one that I don’t even think Lowe has dare use. The ownership of Southampton stinks it has done for years, whilst we stayed in the premiership and whilst we had hope of a quick return the cracks were papered over. The time has come where it can’t be hidden anymore, no amount of talk of a revolutionary approach, double Dutch, nurturing the kids is going to hide the fact that we lacked proper stewardship. What we are seeing now is the result of all the shenanigans of the past twenty years. We need ownership with vision and with the football club at heart. It doesn’t need to be a multi-billionaire takeover but the stewardship of the club needs to be transferred to other people who can take us forward. But we are in a stalemate situation, the shareholders want one price and the market will only offer another. If fans turn up now it will just prolong a regime that is going nowhere. However I doubt that administration will rid us of these people, we should fear what they have planned if we do go into administration. If we do stave of administration through this low-fi team relegation is a real possibility and the lower you fall the harder it is to get back up, Forest are still years away from a return to the premiership.

Nick G you are about six pages too late, this thread is interesting and you have to butt in with childish goading. FFS just PM Alpine.
