SaintRichmond

Putting it simply ... I do NOT like the new format WHY did someone find it necessary to change a well established, and very GOOD Format The change(s) has been almost 100%, and as far as I am concerned, almost unrecognisable to what OUR Forum used to be Change it back please, it has lost it's "Saints" appeal

WHY is there any need to send out Remunders ?? The LESS ST's that are sold, the MORE MONEY comes in when us punters pay FULL WHACK on the day Astute Business Management by Mr Cortese Simples

Perhaps you should tell Cortese that he is useless as a Businessman:)

Bon Jovi would have it as his Spiritual Home ...... and later a Family Crypt

Stoneham would be ideal Easy access to trains, Planes, and Motorway ......Bus services would be easy too Can't think why it hasn't been thought of before ???

We are in the THIRD Division:)

Yes .... so small and so insignificant that theu only took Four points from us last season ....:cool:

Do they offer an Instalment plan ??:)

On hands and knees in the Milton Road penalty ares..... trying to find Ron Reynold's contact lens:cool:

Oggling the young lady with large jugs (who played trombone I think ):)

What a Tw*t of a remark I sincerely hope that you want but can't afford a ST The LAST thing anyone should do if they are short of money is to take out a Credit Card That is the philosophy which has made the UK a Third World Country, with massive debts:cool:

The point I am trying to make has NOTHING to do with anybody's personnal feelings re Nick Illingsworth It could be A N Other, The Pope, The Man in The Moon ... ANYONE, who is raising a genuine issue with the Club HE has, or is trying, to raise, an issue re the Club's scrapping of the Payments scheme for ST's, which has been done without ANY prior notice, AND, IMHO, against the spirit of the Club's own Fans Charter. Step aside from your personnal vendaetta re NI, and ADDRESS THE ISSUE SOME SAINTS FANS WILL MISS OUT ON ST'S BECAUSE THEY CANNOT PAY IN FULL THOSE Fans have supported the Club through it's darkest days THOSE Fans deserve a voice That VOICE happens to be Nick Illingsworth Has anyone else taken up the Cause with the Club ??? .... NO Forget your prejudices of who it is, and ADDRESS THE ISSUE:cool:

He would show himself to be very very weak ... simple as that ANY Business should accept criticism, but that does not mean they have to act on it It's a two way thing. last season, (Cortese's first), was also "OUR" First We (FANS) rallied round and showed our SUPPORT, by going through the turnstiles That does NOT mean that WE (FANS) blindly accept everything that the Club now do (At the moment) we still live in a DEMOCRACY, Freedom of Speech etc etc

....... who DOES voice their concerns ro the CLUB Unless of course I have missed something ?? Who else is batting for the Financially Challenged SAINTS FANS I bet not many who are against him questioning the Club are in the position of seriously NOT being able to get a ST for 2010:cool:

What makes you say that ?? I assume you are perfectly happy that SFC gave NO notice whatsoever re the withdrawel of the ST Payments scheme ??? Whether you appreciate it or not, there ARE a considerable number of SAINTS FANS that will find it difficult to find the readies right now WHY should they be penalised because of their financial circumstances ?? The CLUB were only too glad of their support last season The "rift" as you put it HAS been made by Mr Cortese's "actions" Whether or not he FULLY understood the implications to those that are financially challenged is up for debate, as I have said peviously, circa £1000 (for a family of four) is peanuts to him I assume that the reason why you are so "anti" anyone daring to speak with SFC, is because you CAN afford the readies ?? I would suggest you put yourself in the position of someone, a SAINTS FAN, who CAN'T PS I CAN afford the money in one hit, but that does not stop me of thinking of those that cannot:cool:

Easy A) Remove Brentford badge from shirt B) Attach Saints badge to shirt Simples .........:cool:

( Allegedly ) , he was at Staplewood yesterday :cool:

No, he won't go home apparently ..........

I am fortunate that I CAN afford a ST in one hit, but I do think that Mr Cortese MAY catch a cold in this way ... 23 Home League games .... If you have a ST, you go If you DON'T have a ST, then you pick out what are most likely to be the Good games .... say 16 ??? .... and you go to those So, however many it may be, the Club will "lose" those revenues throughout the season Mind you, I expect Cortese has factored that in:D:cool:

They will get more money from the "walk up" Pay Full Whack On The Day Policy Simples....... ( and that is what Cortese thinks we are ... simples:cool: )

I don't think Cortese gives a monkey's armpit whether SFC sell 100 or 10000 Season Tickets His "Business" philosophy is quite simple If (as expected) Saints are winning, Fans will come along, and pay FULL PRICE on the day .......... .... thus gaining "Extra" Revenue The Achilles heel of course is whether "walk up" attendee's are MORE than those that will NOT renew/get a ST Great to be still part of a "Friendly Family Club" ..... innit ????

If it has only recently been made, (well into the time period that most other Clubs have had their ST's on sale) Then, IMHO, that is Rank Bad Management:cool:

Correct !!!!!!! The best example YET that Cortese is running the Club as a BUSINESS His error though is to ignore the very Fans that Supported SFC in the rebirth of the Club He has NOT taken, or given ANY thought to how HIS Supporters can or could accept his DOCTRINE Goodbye to Saints, the FAMILY Club:D

Good for you, and ALL credit to you BUT, there ARE others, ie a family of 4, who CANNOT scrimp and save the circa £1000 needed NOW, repeat NOW, No advance notice, PAY NOW In that respect alone, SFC has not shown any thought to those that CANNOT stump up the monies, not having been given ANY PRIOR NOTICE of what road the Club were going VERY VERY BAD IMHO:cool:

Why ??? A Bad decision is a Bad decision Why does it have to be swept under the carpet ???? .... Oh yes, I see, the whinings of a few but dedicated SUPPORTERS that cannot find ready's all at once count for nothing then ???? Cortese should remember "What goes around, comes around" He was glad of all the SUPPORT he could get last season:cool:
