Oh look, it's the world's biggest ****. Someone who, no doubt, has very few friends and is disliked by virtually everyone who knows him.

Dog, I would love to oblige of course but unfortunately I think I'm busy that night.

I don't know. The proof will be in the pudding. SFC obviously thinks it makes sense. It hasn't been done for the purpose of winding people up.

If you want one, use a credit card. If you can't get a credit card then the club is correct not to subsidise your leisure time for you. You have to put your business hat on. This decision will have been based on an analysis if the available figures.

I would take Parker over Carrick any day.

Walcott, Bent, Dawson etc... largely irelevant. The key is Joe Cole. Our most accomplished international ball-player by some distance. Thank goodness he is going.

You have lost a source of potential credit; there are others out there.

Credit card?

I had never actually realised that SFC has ever offered a 0% installment plan before until this season's ST debate started. I am staggered that we ever offered this. It makes no sense at all.

I wasn't trying to suggest that anyone was a glory hunter, simply that our ambition is to get to the Prem asap and that prices then will be much more than what they are now. Unfortunately, in this trajectory, it will become more and more unaffordable for a lot of loyal decent folk to go and they will be replaced by people who stopped going about 6 or 7 years ago. That is how football works now. I take the point about the warning and I'm not sure what the cause of the relative delay has been. I assumed there would be a good reason for it and I'm not sure what that reason is.

Yeah but I've got a holiday, and there's a recession you know, and my beer kitty needs maintaining, and the kids... think of the kids, and I cant get credit (although I expect SFC to underwrite it for me) and it's my inalienable right to a ST, and when we're in the Prem I will find the £650 from somewhere so I might as well get it cheap and interest-free this season as an advance thank you....

£15m facility from Chanrai.

I have done absolutely zero research but I'm going to stick my neck out and say our ST prices are probably around average for League One (maybe slightly above) and probably not much above average for League Two.

None of the Liebherr siblings ever seem to be on a rich list. Pretty sure Liebherr is worth a few quid though. As for the programmes - whilst it might be odd, there is no link between it and anything else. With regards to money up front - if that was the concern they would have gone on sale in March. The only thing I'm worried about is signing a good CM or two, a couple of RBs and a pacy striker.

My thoughts exactly. It is unfortunate if people can't go. It would be lovely if everyone had loads of money. But that is life... I would also imagine the credit card option is perfetly viable for 95% of adult people. I presume that everyone complaining intends to stop going when we are in the Premiership and it is £40 per match with STs at £600+ ?

A tad OTT IMO.

Not necessarily. I might not renew but then I will probably only go to something like 15-18 matches. If I still go to those but buy a ticket for each one I will put more money into the club than if I had renewed my ST. It seems to me that if you are committed to going to most matches our STs are good value. An adult renewal in the wings or goals is something like £14 per match. Good value. If you're not committed to going to the vast majority of matches then an ST might not be the right thing for you under the current price structure. To be honest, it doesn't really make much commercial sense to have people paying less for a 23 match ticket when they only intend to go to 16 matches when the alternative is that they buy 16 tickets at a greater cost. It would make more sense if you needed the cashflow upfront but we apparently do not. The prices, taken in isolation are good IMO. I appreciate that the lack of a payment plan is annoying. As someone else said, maybe it was a pain to administer and it has been decided that it would be better not to offer it. There are alternatives however (credit cards etc). The really annoying thing is the £3 booking fee IMO. Especially for online bookings. Either way, if we are winning most weeks and at the top of the table we will see 25k + home fans in the ground.

Too big?

That should have been disallowed. HTH

There were some flirty types who used to post on here. Where are they now?

Why the hell has this been moved? Some **** has ruined my Dell poo thread too. FFS.

I think the answer, in my case, may be "yes".

I think England will lose in the Second Round. I wonder what the price is for that. Might be worth a few squid.

That pint looks disgusting.
