Must like the Yellow Shirts

They are right and I do not feel sorry for each and every one of them. Wanton Violence has no place on the Streets of Southampton

So what actually is ****ing stupid about paying Council Tax by installments without a finance company being involved . It is likely that the past installment plans at SFC did not involve a Finance Company Other clubs seem to run installment plans with or without Finance Companies

I pay Water and Council Tax by an installment plan for services through out the year and no finance company is involved

I agree causing £30000 of damage does not seem insignificant

You obviously have no idea of what installment plans are really about and probably have little idea about how Markus' company is financed

If you are happy the way the club is run OK but a lot are not. Just because you think the future is bright there is no reason for the club to take advantage of the fans and to spoil the goodwill shown to the new owners

It is easy to say that Cappello got his team selections wrong after the event but a similar team beat Croatia 4 1 perhaps the players did not perform as they were coached Lets face any team should picked should have beaten the USA and without Green's **** up we probably would

Not of LBs Harding Dickson Mills and Possibly Seabourne but in other positions RB CM Wing Striker

If England do not qualify for the next round I expect that Cappello will be sacked but the players who performed badly will probably play again. Which seems hardly fair Cappello Erickson and now to some extent Maclaren have proved to be successful managers perhaps this lot are unmanageable because of their attitudes and egos. Cappello has been criticised for team selection and not announcing team until just before the game Well he has been naming teams in a similar manner ever since he became England Manager so why all the fuss now. The team that performed badly against Algeria was very similar to the one which comprehensively beat Croatia. I would have thougt that any team within reason put out against Algeria should have won But now Joe Cole is the Answer to problems despite not be wanted at Chelsea and not to have played much this season

Yes I think you are right but what Law Suit Rumours - What have I missed

Perhaps Ireland should be at the World Cup http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2010/8750302.stm

Thats good then so whats the problem then?

Hampshire are still rubbish bottom of the CCC and Second Bottom of the 40 Over League not surprisly Scotland are bottom Pretty poor season so far

I think the whole club is worth more than its parts. Make an annual profit and then sell in a few years perhaps but of course I dont know If they were doing it for fun as one or two have suggested they would probably do things differently

They wont be able because it is NC/ML decision to make money without any real regard to the fans and nobody can do anything about it. So you have the choice accept what NC/ML do and go to St Mary's or do not accept what NC/ML do get frustrated and either go or do not go to St mary's

I admire your singleminded approach to this thread and you main point is obviously a fully reasonable one - Unfortunately you are ****ing in the wind as the club belongs to NC/ML and they can do whatever they want in order to make more money for themselves or should I say they think they know how to make money . But most people I know want value for money and if they think they are getting ripped off and go elsewhere. Many boycotted the Club when Lowe was in charge but of course fully followed the Saints many may now attend less games only time will tell.

Yes I agree with what you are saying and it was a concern of FitzHugh Fella at the start of last season. Of course we will have to live with the situation but in the past when fans were shareholders it felt that the fans were involved more in the clubs and as shareholders could get more info. When Lowe etc left many said we had got our club back but I think that was far from the truth

Unfortunately some may do that because the Club is now seen by some as not caring for fans and trying to make as much money as possible from them. In the past most of the money received usually went to make the team stronger this maybe the case but as a Private company could also go into the Owners pocket. However with better PR things could be a lot better - the Pompous Arrogant nature of Mr Cortese which may of course be not true appears to be gaining momentum amongst a minority of fans and needs to be stopped I would have thought. A simple explanation on the ticketing strategy and what the finances of the club are like would go a long way to resolving the situation

My friend travelled from Whitley Bay to Wembley for some match for £25 I thought it was a good deal

Why not send out Reminders by Email? That would not be costly - Most People have Email addresses in fact one of my daughters has five

If this Thread was started in three weeks time I think it would be interesting but I am sure transfer activity is happening and we will find out answers to questions raised in the next few weeks The only comment I would like to make is that Pardew said last season that by arriving late he missed out on a lot of free bargains. Well he does not seem to have picked up any bargains at the moment but this of course may change in the next couple of weeks

Yes It is going to be interesting what the attendances are going to be this Season. Obviously SFC think they know what they are doing but I am not so sure - However as Results Should be really Good perhaps they may well be right

I think Algeria would have beaten SFC last night something they failed to do against England As Usual Alpine continually whinges only appears supports his team when things go right. Of course England did not play well but these things happen the team needs support not aggro when it loses

I dont disagree with you on the financial analysis but the whole thing stinks really They bring out a Charter and then renage on it. Most clubs offer an installment plan to help fans but not SFC very sad day - Profit before fans some including me may not go very regularly especially as I have to pay more as I dont live in Southampton
