I never cease to be amazed at the self righteous fan police. Whilst I am sure that not all of them are under 25, single, no kids, living within the city, the tone and style of their posts would indicate this profile to be the most prevalent. If attendance is a key guide I am a plastic only 3 games this season, despite over 45 years of support behind me. Why so few visits, I have a round trip of 160 miles to home games, I have family who don’t all share my passion and I also enjoy the egg chasing game and am a season ticket holder at Bath (I missed Saturdays top of the table game to support my football club in its hour of need) I took my eight year old, his 8th game, who said on Saturday when I explained the problems we have, "they can have all my money", he hasn’t taken his new shirt off since Saturday. He is of course currently a plastic, but watch out the self appointed fan police, in 10 years time he will be in the Northam setting the rules for the married over 35’s with kids who live outside the city and don’t quite share his youthful and admirable passion for our fantastic club, you never know some of you may have grown up by then and will be one of his targets.

No pseudo identities, I am keen 'voyeur' but as someone who is distant from Southampton with no direct personal contacts and not in the know I keep out of things I have no factual knowledge off. That does not stop me from loving the club I have supported for over 40 years and championing those who express my feelings

The best post I have read on here for years a true fan of SFC, blinkered and focused on one thing, the club, not on personal animosity and one upmanship.

It seems that the whole debt scenario revolves around the bank. My understanding of most football clubs who have gone into administration is that it is A N Other creditor (the tax man, laundry caterers,) who call in the debts and force administration, the bank would gain little from administration especially where a business still has a marketable product. So whilst unaware of the facts it seems to me that an acceptable plan has been put in place and that in all likelihood the plan is based on a number of scenarios including various levels of attendance.

SaintRobbie wrote An important point. The fact that this thread has been read 27000 odd times demonstrates one thing to me... Fans are very keen to see a takeover. A buyout and takeover is the only real optimism tablet left for supporters since Lowe's return. In my case totally wrong the only thing i am keen to see is a united club moving forwards. A take over is merely one of the current items of interest and the most unlikly but I like to peruse all threads relating to my club.

The decision by SFC or indeed any venue to bar an individual must remain with those who have a duty to ensure the safety of all employees and users of their venue and not on the criminal justice system. If the burden of proof required by the criminal justice system were applied to all decisions made by those who have a duty of care for such venues then all the venues would be shut down within a week.

2 -2 sounds good and realistic
