It's all very simple, although perhaps a little challenging for some people to grasp... I'll therefore explain it as uncomplicatedly as possible: My cousin is a Bournemouth fan He couldn't get a ticket for the game (because lots more Bournemouth fans than usual wanted to go to an inconsequential away game for some reason...) He phoned me to ask if I was going. I said, no, I hadn't planned on going but could get us a couple of tickets if he fancied it. He said ok. I bought a couple of tickets. The attendance figure went up by two. Now, here comes the complicated bit.... Being born and living near Dorset (as one does) and having friends and family in the area, the chances of me (and no doubt many others) receiving an off the cuff "fancy going to the game?" phone call are much greater for a 'local' game than receiving a similar phone call about the Saints vs Rochdale game (for example) Hope that helps?

How many? Roughly

Which reminds me......what are we (SFC) actively doing at the moment to extend his contract before it's too late?

So, end of 'debate' then? Yes: there were boos Yes: it was tongue-in-check Yes: it's been blown out of proportion Yes: there is no story here (conspiracy theories aside) Yes: Let's let bygones be bygones and all get behind a successful remainder of the season for the team we ALL support Yes?

This :-)

Actually, that's sounding almost ideal!

Maybe the best way to guage people's opinion is to ask: "looking at their league status over the last 5 years, which football club would you most like ours to be like?" Top 6 prem side? Man Utd, Chelsea, etc Mid table prem side? Fulham, Everton, Bolton, etc Yo-yo prem/championship side: West Brom, Middlesboro, Derby, etc Me? Fulham

cheers for the ideas so far - appreciated

Glory hunter!

Logistics aside, how about a 'pay as you go' system as the fairest solution? e.g. 10p a post (first 3 posts each day are still free); bill settled monthly by DD

Hmmmm....very astute post......and I've tried to come up with an answer but can't! (which perhaps helps explains the 'divisions' even further: If I, as an individual, can't decide what I want then it's a sure fire case that the fan base as a whole can't!)

Any free live streams out there?

But is Tony dropping a hint that he's heard something concrete to this effect or, like the rest of us, is he simply airing an educated guess?

If the good agents were actively doing all they could to weed the bad agents out of their industry then I would be sympathetic. Perhaps they are? Is there an agents association that provides industry code of conduct certification for example?

He's not "banned" though.... (sigh) ;-)

I am reading between the lines as we speak and will report back from Conspiracy Theory HQ henceforth. :-)

There is no such person as a 'climate change sceptic'. Everyone recognises that planetary climates are changing all the time for a myriad of reasons. There is simply a difference of opinion as to whether a tiny spec of a species on a planet we call Earth has any significance in the Universal scheme of things. Human beings have a too high an opinion of their own importance in the Universe in my humble opinion.

COAST @ Talking Heads Friday 29th October Probably not trendy enough for the wicked dudes on this forum though...

It does seem a tad odd that the title has remained intact. They're normally quite quick to fix inaccuracies.

Flocks?

Hi Tony, Welcome back to the forum. What makes you so sure about the above ownership statement? As it happens I think I get your drift and tend to agree, but are you making that statement as a general observation or have you, perhaps, heard in your business circles that 'something' is afoot regarding our ownership situation? Cheers

Not quite fitting into the OP criteria but.....Jason Dodd

I take it back....post #6 it is then.... ;-)
