hypochondriac

I was replying to a post about him in this thread but I was referring to the wider issue of fan communication rather than the specific Nick issue which has nothing to do with NC really. Topics as long as this do have a tendency to go off topic a bit and that was one example. I never discussed the merits of NC in relation to the club withholding Nick's ticket and I never used this issue as an excuse to have a pop at NC like Marco is suggesting.

Please see quote above for your answer.

I actually think it is amazing that people can argue this point. It amazes me seriously.

This thread has nothing to do with Cortese, it's to do with Nick as a fan being entitled to a reply and the club being in breach of its club charter.

And I have no problem with him being denied a season ticket if it was for a valid reason. He is still entitled to an explanation though, denying him one is surely wrong.

I find it highly unlikely he would take as far as he has with no explanation. What on earth would he have to gain?

To my knowledge the only posts I have made about Cortese on this thread are in reply to saint clark who was making a statement specifically about Cortese which I replied to (feel free to point out other examples if you believe that not to be the case and I will apologise.) I accept that was slightly off topic but others were talk about Nick as if him being a tw*t in their eyes means that he is not entitled to an explanation whereas in my eyes you are entitled to one no matter who you are. That clear enough pal? Edit: Just realised I also mentioned Cortese in my response to franks cousin but again that was a reply to his bit about the wider issue of fans criticising the cub and not the particular issue of Nick being denied a season ticket and an explanation which is where his merits as a fan are irrelevant.

Again, as far as I understand this issue has nothing to do with Nick at all. I'm not even sure why his merits as a fan are being debated. If the club makes a decision which deprives a fan of a season ticket then that fan should get an explanation. IMO that is the only issue here.

Lol.

I can't comment on that as I don't know all the answers. What I do know is that not giving an explanation is wrong. That's the issue, nothing at all to do with Nick or Cortese.

I'm not sure you realise that it is entirely possible to be totally supportive of the team and most decisions made by management whilst also expressing criticism and reservations about some of the smaller things which down the line could potentially evolve into something bigger.

He could say something like the matter is now sorted and I don't want to elaborate further (also it would be obvious as he will have a season ticket.) Anyway it isn't about everyone knowing, it is about the club doing what is right and properly communicating their decisions to the fans.

I emailled the club a while ago and was told that no date had been set for the fans forum. I asked my friend who works at solent last week (when I found his contact details) and he told me there would not be one this year. I'm disappointed by the club if that is the case and I feel that at the very least this should have been communicated to the fans rather than just ignoring it.

Clearly not everyone agrees that an explanation should be provided as evidenced by this thread. To those who aren't condemning the club, as I have already said to trousers on this thread that is fair enough. I do wonder how long Nick should wait though before we are allowed to criticise the club. Clearly they aren't going to give him an explanation and I wish they would, even if it was only 'we think you are a c*ck.' An explanation should be given and to not give one, even privately to Nick and ask him not to comment publicly, is out of order IMO.

Other than this the only gripe I have is that little explanation was given for decisions. For instance the removal of the season ticket installments if it had been explained as it was at the season ticket dinners (putting in a new system it will be back for next season) would have caused a lot less irritation. Having said that, supposedly Cortese has acknowledged this and I am hopeful that should decisions like this be taken in future, that they will be explained properly (although I am still waiting for an explanation as to why there is no solent forum despite cortese saying at one of the dinners he was eager to have one.)

This is jusr ridiculous and I see now more than ever that certain people will defend the club over anything. I think that generally people who are sensible agree that someone who is refused a season ticket at the very least deserves an explanation. I would say that whoever it was who had been denied a ticket.

He looked even better in person. Obviously got a lot of skill.

And the fact that everyone can start threads

Nick has stated on his forum on numerous occasions that he has never received a reason for being banned.

I agree. Watched them all last week. Some cracking acting performances and nice to see a lead character who is a gangster but not a traditional one (Sopranos was superb but nice not to see a copy set in the twenties.)

I also see from the quoted post that spastic saint is still posting inaccurate information and talking about me. It seems that even putting him on ignore he can't take the hint. I'm starting to get even more concerned about him. Strange little child.

for me the issue is that regardless of the reason he was banned from holding a season ticket, the very least he deserves is an explanation. To not give one (when he was told he was allowed to have one.) just seems petty and needlessly vindictive.

I thought it was less about us playing poorly and more about them playing well. Was pretty impressed with Exeter TBH, probably deserved a draw. Nguessun (sp) looked really good and Chambo was really poor. I think he needs a rest.
