Presumably she didn't fancy liability for wrongful trading or fraudulent trading under the Insolvency Act.

If he didn't make those comments would he prejudice a move? No.

If those quotes are true he can **** off, the brain dead ****.

Having slept on it my view is: If you're 60-64 and you can't afford it, go without for a couole of years FFS and be grateful you got such a good deal in the past.
-
It's a shame for you, obviously We're talking about a discounted leisure purchase though and you have to admit, 60 is not a normal retirement age any more. So you go without an ST for a couple of years - things could be worse.

Nothing wrong with Kuhn's work, just popularized unwittingly by the ignorant masses.

He's definitely slower in a match but otherwise your post is spot on. He could play in the hole to great effect.

Probably not that many. The installment plan is back. If you can afford one at last year's prices in one whack you can probably afford the first two payments without worrying, leaving you about 4 months to fund the remaining 30 or so percent. I have some sympathy but some of the melodramatics on here are quite sickening.

Ricketts closer to signing than we thought then?

I agree with Deppo. Most people would've been happy with Owen and Ricketts had been up there too. -
Indeed. An ST is a pure luxury purchase not something the poor downtrodden masses (the mythical "working man") gets shafted over.
-
Maybe the reason other clubs open their window earlier is because they can't stomach the childish whining and "woe is me" tantrums of the economically irrational proportion of their fan base.
-
As someone else said, it spreads cost between July and November so I wouldn't dismiss it as "hardly worth the effort". Presumably the initial payment is either 55% or 52.5% so that's a significantly smaller one-off commitment.
-
The OS says you will only get the remaining ticket vouchers once you've paid the final installment = more sensible solution.

Don't be a div.

Isn't VAT 5% higher than this time last year too?
-
Fair point, perhaps previous concessions should be treated as such even if non-renewing equivalents wouldn't be. I guess that would be a nice touch but then it would have to apply to young'uns if you want to recategorise other banding too.
-
Good prices for renewals, sensible installment option, **** knows what people are complaining about.
-
That's what the less mature element will do, f'sure.

Why should we be desperate? Desperate businesses don't do well and make commercially irational long-term decisions for short-term reasons. Our attendances were good last year. They will be better this year.
-
I know loads of **** (or at least I pretend I do). About everything. I won't tell you though becuase I am an insufferable onanist and really love whacking off over replies on here.

They should have used AV.

I have been to Zagreb, Split, Brac, Hvar and Dubrovnik. Zagreb is a cracking city: dirt cheap and a good laugh but inland so doesn't benefit from the awesome climate of the Dalmatian coast. Beer less than a £1 and a massive pizza in the city centre for £3. Happy days. The journey from Zagreb to the Dalmatian coast is a bit of a ****er though and probably not great with young nippers in tow. Not sure about getting to the Isthmian peninsula from there (the north-western Croatian coastline - I didn't visit that bit). Split is an interesting place. Some Roman history, some nice views along the coast but probably not worth more than a couple of nights. Again, pretty cheap though if you avoid the obvious tourist traps. Home of Goran Ivanicevic. Fact. Depending on the time of year you might fancy a trip to watch Hadjuk Split in their strange Armadillo-like stadium. From Split you can sail to several islands including Brac and Hvar. Brac is a very quiet, peaceful place although it also has some great bars and restaurants. I stayed in Bol, in a guesthouse, which was very pleasant. Hvar is probably the most "upmarket" of the islands (you will see £70m yachts coming in to berth - I saw this monster coming in and later on saw it again off the coast of Dubrovnik: http://www.charterworld.com/images/framework/334/force%20blue-680.jpg) although, at the same time, it attracts a young party set in high season. A sort of "Jack Wills / Abercrombie and Fitch" yachty type place, although don't be put off if that's not your scene as it's not too in your face and it's all very pleasant. As is common in the Med though, the real night scene doesn't kick in until the very small hours so you can still have nice evenings out with your family without being confronted by too many puking yanks. I'm talking about Hvar town, which is on Hvar island. There are also quieter places you can stay on the island. From Hvar there are also lots of day boat-trips to other nearby islands with secluded beaches. You can get a boat (about 6 hours) to Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is an amazing place. The beautifully preserved (yet incredibly, heavily bombed during the Balkan conflict) mediaeval old town is quite enchanting and sits proudly jutting into the sea, abutting the more modern city (which is a popular cruise stop-off). Dubrovnik was noticably more expensive than anywhere else I stayed but was not expensive by UK standards. In the old town you can expect to pay around £3 for a beer (or more in the trendier places or the obligatory "Irish Bar"s) but you can still get a good pizza for about £5 in a restaurant. There are a couple of great bars which hang off the outside of the mediaeval walls and are virtually in the sea. As you might have guessed, the food is heavily Italian influenced and is generally good value and comes in large portions. There are not a million and one things for kids to do so it would probably depend on how happy your kids are playing in the sun, sea etc or whether they need in-your-face entertainment. One thing to note is that the beaches are rocky, not sandy. The water is beautiful though. Oh and local birds will get their tits out. And they are fit. I've enjoyed writing this; happy memories!

See, on the contrary, I find you boring and funny.
