An Update http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/8196108.Saints_boss_bides_his_time_on_signings/ I wonder who the player is they may off load to Bristol Rovers

I dont disagree with what you are saying but I feel an installment plan is quite impractical as we are now in June. Ideally season tickets would be sent out after the final payment

I would suggest that an extra £3 per ticket is going to be quite a lot of money

I think Steve knows more about what is going on than most on this Forum

Ever heard of Computers but you are right it would only work if it had started in say May

I dont know just dont like club owners earning vast sums of money at the expense of the ordinary fan.

I Just want a friendly and reasonable club which caters for its fans not a method for somebody to make millions But we will have to wait and see what happens

Seems pretty obvious he is involved for serious financial gain

The Wife's Aunt thinks Willie Walsh talks a lot of sense;)

The bigger picture maybe that NC/ML may want to make as much money as possible in the shortest time and sell the club for a large profit

I am please that somebody else thinks that too

Exactly but a £240 one off payment would

You are quite right but the main point is that SFC withdrew the facility without any regard to the fans despite having it in some Fans Charter.

It was people like you who got us into the Global Banking problem in the First place:(

I agree and I probably wont be going to St Mary's then

We may have been for a year or so but not for any length of time. I do agree that we were not very successful in the transfer market after getting Niemmi and Svensson but they did not cost that much. But lets see what happens if we do get back in the Premier League before we can make comparisons.

That is because we never had that kind of spare money when he was around. But you could be right we will never know. It is going to be interesting if and when we get to the Premier League whether SFC are going to spend £15-£20m on a striker. So we will have to wait and see

So you were not around when we were in the Premiership In those days we did not have enough money to buy the two of the top strikers in the Division like we can today

You maybe right but lets wait and see. Lowe ran a PLC in the Premiership with little or no money Cortese runs a Private Company in League 1 in a free Stadium so the pressures are different

It used to cost me 3.5% to process Credit Cards in my small business with SFC it would be less

No but there was no booking fee then was there? You were suggesting the £3 would ensure us being Champions

What has that got to do with anything The club has clearly not been 100 % fair to its fans who have supported it through the bad years

And what happens if we dont do we get the £3 back

People like having a day out once in a while but object to be apparently ripped off

And less fans possibly
