hypochondriac

Why does it only come up with the thread and not the individual post? With something like the pompey takeover thread it is virtually impossible to find an individual post from a user.

Thankfully I am chummy with the policeman in charge and can park where they do, directly opposite the ground

Apparently with the chip in te ball thing, the referee can wear a watch which instantly tells them if it crossed the line or not.

Any reason why they haven't spoken to the media since the end of the season?

So that's at least 5 posters in the last few posts accepting that there are valid points here. Good to know.

Thanks solentstars. Perhaps there are more who feel as you do and not just the "lunatic fringe" or "ten posters" on here that some on the other side of debate like to pretend is the case.

Dune, you get very close to making the very valid points that I and others make invalid due to your idiocy. Please stop making ludicrous and extreme comparisons and try to stick to the sensible points. Thanks.

Thank goodness for CB Fry. A voice of reason swimming against the tide of idiocy.

I have no problem paying the fiver because I more than get my moneys worth. However, I think the main gripe is that you can get similar forums to this (including the old S4E) which was free or at least where donating was optional (I want golden balls again )

It is quite obvious that SFC are not doing anything to publicise season ticket and it appears that they are actively discouraging people from buying them. Does anyone disagree with this even if you disagree with other points, surely Stu has a point with this?

No idea sorry trousers. I just know that Pardew was going to be sacked at the end of the season. You could see it was going to happen simply by listening to that Solent interview. I would imagine he had someone lined up or at least had looked into possibilities but that's just guesswork on my part.

And for goodness sake why people cannot play the ball and not the man I have no idea. That used to be a policy on S4E. Why not debate the (IMO perfectly valid) points that Stu has raised without slagging him off personally. If someone else had made the same points then no one would be having a go like some posters are. FWIW no I do not think that Cortese is deliberately irritating fans. It is clear that he is running it purely as a way to make money. Having said that, I do see quite a few signs (many of which Stu has highlighted) which lead me to believe that SFC could be heading down a path which concerns me. I think concerns are worth highlighting in places like the Echo and Solent etc because I believe that fans speaking out does have the power to change minds and maybe make Cortese consider some actions. It is my (partially informed) belief that Pardew was going to be sacked until some influential fans and figures related to SFC spoke out and Cortese realised how unpopular sacking Pardew would be.

Funny you should mention that. I wonder if anyone knows the progress that is making.

Oh do f*ck off 1976 child.

Lol that is Steve's address. Steve, do you like Paint Pots Nursery on Howard Road?

When you are selling a product, you have to assume that your customers are as lazy as possible. It is in your interest to make it as simple as possible to get access and information about your product because there is always the chance that if it is not easy to access that some people may be put off. That is of course unless you don't really want to sell as many as possible...

So in order to get a CVA approved, you can invent a load of old debt and get those creditors to approve a CVA. They then cannot prove they are owed any money so you don't actually have to pay them? That's outrageous!

I was a season ticket holder and I did not get an email.

But a little child wasn't blinded. I don't get your point.

A year for lobbing a hub cap at someone? That's just mental really.

How ridiculous.

Why not just charge a grand each for tickets then we can have even better players!

I think transparency is the key thing lacking. I'm not asking the club to lay its finances bare, but I do think the fans deserve to be told the reason behind things more often.

No one has said otherwise apart from dune.
