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

Perhaps the Charter was just a piece of PR spin

Sixty or look sixty

Who knows - but I expect NC will make a a few bob when the club is eventually sold and that is possibly his goal

I dont think you see the point SFC had a method for paying by installments which without any notice have stopped so it is going to cause problems.

I think you have a very valid point But lets face it Cortese wants to get in as much revenue as possible and probably cares little about how the fans feel

Inflation is currently about 3.7% which I think includes the fact that VAT has gone up by 2.5% so your figure of 5% is reasonable But lets face it Cortese is not here to help the fans he is here to make money like all previous Chairman I would have thought maybe more than the others but we will never know

No I dont think it is Do you pay your Council Tax in installments or up front? SFC are just getting money in early

Well I probably wont go to see Wigan come and draw 0 0

I think you are being slightly over the top in your response if the club had told fans there was not going to be any installment plans then they could have planned accordingly. A very poor decision by the club. Dont think people would be very happy in Southampton Council said all Council Tax had to be paid in one installment instead of the usual ten

I would be very surprised if it was entirely Cortese's decision as there are other people involved at SFC and would have been done on purely financial reasons

Doubt I would go if we were crap like Stockport/Wycombe
