Wel it isn't it it, because they'd only know during the game that you weren't there and that seat is one they could have sold to someone else. So they lose that revenue then have to refund you at the end of the season for games you didn't go to. The money in the bank is not real money as they wont know until the end of the season how much they have, what if 5k people buy one and then all only go to one game? Then there is the cost of the cards, managing it, they'd need electronic turnstiles as you couldn't rely on the turnstile staff to keep a record of "half way house" season ticket holders coming and going. It'd be a nightmare for the club. Why not just buy a ticket for games you can go to and not buy on for games you cant?

He doesn't care, beer and pies are more important than seeing the game.

I went to the train station and asked for an annual season ticket to London this morning, i said i can only use it twice a month though so only wanted to pay the price of two trips a month. They told me to to ****** off.

Shut up you ****.

Which negates the whole point of having one? At least you can stuff your face with your pie if, presumably, you hadn't thrown that all over the concourse as well.And the reason is there is a TV downstairs you can watch the game on? Why bother going at all, just sit at home and watch Jeff Snelling and throw your beer and food all over your own living room.

Shut up you ****.

similar sort of player i guess but he is not really a leader on the field in the mould of Keane or Souness. He's not even captain of Chelsea.

Well tell her if she doens't like it there are plenty more women out there who wont find it a buggar to clean...

CM "generals" are a thing of the past IMO. WHo is there that you would class as this these days? In the past i would put Souness, Viera (in his Arsenal days), Keane and our very own Jimmy Case in that catageory but look at the top clubs now, would you call Carrick, Hargreaves, Fabregas, Lampard, and Co midfield generals? THe nearest thing these days is probably Steve Gerrard and i dont think he'd be interested in a move to St Marys just now. Even he is a different sort of player to the likes of Souness though. The modern central midfield usually comprises of a decent ball playing holding player to build the play from the back and an attacking box to box goalscoring player in front of him.

And i am starting to wonder if you are to beer and burgers what Augustus Gloop was to chocolate.

It probably came out of the annual dividend paid to shareholders involved in the saints trust, they were trying to be part of a PLC so need to act like one.

What is the purpose of the saints trust these days? Can anyone on here confirm? I though it was to have stake in a PLC and try to get a seat on the board, although i alwasy thought that the chances of that happening were as likely as solving third world hunger with a packet of findus crispy pancakes. Anyway, can anyone clarify the role of the saints trust, other than to comment on random echo articles every now and again.

Shut up you ****

Why haven't you started a look at me, publicity seeking thread, entitled "My email to the Echo re the saints trust new chairman" ?

No idea, never heard of him. Generally not interested in what the media whores have to say.

Personally the only improvements i would like to see are to the playing staff. I am sure NC has more pressing matters to deal with than reducing the queues for the gutty ****s who cant go 90 minutes without drinking or filling their face with burgers and pies. So having a half time pint is so important to you that your would miss 1/9th of the game, plus injury time, just to have a beer. How many goals have you missed this season going downstairs with 35 mins on the clock?

According to the echo Jason Mcfeat is now vice chairman.

I couldn't give a toss if his name is Jason, James or Jesus. How can there be a vice president for a organisation that does not exist?

Glad to see you have redeemed yourself, albeit a bit late with your latest thread. :smt024

Yes it does matter, if this group is speaking on the fans behalf, still, then we need to know who it is that is (supposedly) representing us as our voice. By the sounds of it, it seems even Mr Grant didn't realise he had been replaced.

http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=22518 A whole list of of grumbles with the first one being, and i do stand corrected, that the PA system "spoils the day" not ruins it as per my previous posts. Loved the bit about not minding if they put their photos up on the score board as well, how generous. Do any of them matter if you are there to see the game? As for loving Hampshire, people might say that at cricket i dont know, i've never seen anyone sitting on a bed of nails at the Rose Bowl. I'd do it at football of course but you try getting a bed of nails into a football ground. You'd be jailed and banned for life for carrying an offensive weapon and inciting a riot and to cap it all get a cracking thread on here from the self righteous majority jumping on the real fans dont carry beds of nails bandwagon.

Did you fight the american guy who is caving your missus back door in?

Well it isn't stupid is it, if a poor PA system "ruins the day" for some people, as per a previous thread, then clearly they aren't their just to see the match. Something as insignificant as not hearing clearly an interview played over the noise of 20k+ people entering a sporting arena would not ruin the day if you were there just to see the game. Many of the modern football fans are consumers/customer not just football fans so what else do they expect? Maybe they should have gone twenty years ago when you couldn't get a beer, had to get in the ground an hour and a half before kick off to get a realtively decent view (looking back most were **** on the milton terracewhere i used to go) and spend the whole time in the freezing cold or ****ing rain. What would the soft, replica shirt wearing, modern "i had to queue for 10 minutes to get a hot dog" fan make of that?

Its not a good idea at all. for the clubs point of view it'd be a nightmare to manage and a season ticket is just that, a season ticket. You dont buy a season ticket on a train but ask for a reduced rate because you can only use it 3 days a week do you. If people cant go to games during the week dont buy a season ticket. That is the reason why i haven't had one the last two years as i wouldn't be back from work in time for most midweek games, however, my job changed in december and can now make midweek games so will be getting a season ticket this season.

I am sure one or two will have, probably turned up for the Huddersfield game, saw a display of class attacking football and 5 goals but vowed never to go back because they couldn't hear the second sentance of Pardews pre match interview and the mustard wasn't colemans on their half time hot dog, it ruined the day. :smt009
