They will be the surprise package IMO. A few years ago i would say they would be my dark horses to make the quarters but now they are my dark horses to make the Semi's

lol

Lol No, was proving a point, and if i was on the wind up im not exactly in the same league though are we StanMole ? Thought you were coming to save the forum anyways ? http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=21192

What do they look like ?

It wasn't really that genuine, i was proving a point.

Make sure you have a job to go to before you leave. NEVER EVER slag off the company or management, you need a reference, plus you may want/have to go back there for whatever reason so never burn your bridges. Write a polite letter stating your intention and date of leaving and keep it civil. Write a sentance about your manager if you must saying how good he is etc and perhaps have a small meeting with him alone and explain its not him but still don't slag off the company. You never know, they may offer you more money.

Clearly everyone is more interested in p*ssing and moaning then doing something constructive

Perhaps there are reasons why they have not been approached ?? Like the ones that TDD has found ?? Also how do you know that they have agreements with the teams on the front page ?? My old company used to have many big big companies on its website as 'customers' when in reality it had only ever did very very small pieces of business with them and in the vast majority of cases was one offs.

No it is not, it is completely genuine Dune/Stanley. I however refuse to pander to some WUM that spouts b*llocks like 'where shall we boycott' I also remember your 'drunken childish stage'. As for the massive tax bla bla bla it is £3 if you can't be arsed to get to the ground and pay in person. And as i said earlier, i highly suspect this was going on more stealthily before, yet now NC has made it more transparent people have the hump.

This, good post

Read what you have just written Now follow your own advice

lol of course it is

I'd rather not sign him and have a ST payment plan in place. Infact i would like to sell Lambert etc to make this happen.

Yes, as far as they are concerned you probably have a point.

It is clear that NC and the clubs somewhat poor decision no matter what side of the conspiracy fence you are on, has ruffled a few feathers. So, instead of the crazyness associated with the constant moaning, rediculous noises about boycotting the club etc, how about a petition from as many saints fans as we can find that we can send to NC and Mr Luker ?? No need to get angry, no need to bash the keyboards etc, but just a calmly worded letter that spells out the greviences and difficulties posed by those that cannot get a 0% credit card ? Or if there are genuine reasons why the admin costs are too high or a finance scheme is impossible a genuine response from up high ?? This IMO would result in three outcomes, 1. The problem becomes re-addressed and a payment scheme is offered after the club acknowledge the mistake. 2. The reasons behind the lack of plan are revealed and so the conspiracies and anger subside when we know the genuine reasons. 3. Nobody from the club responds and we realise that as a customer base we will remain in the dark ?? Got to be better than moaning to a bunch of computer screens and achieving nothing :smt102

Completely agree

I just want to put to you and Stu where i am here. I have not been a STH for 3 seasons now, which coincided with taking my new job and so taking the pay cut that went with it (sometimes you need to go backwards to go forwards). However i agree and always have that STH's should be rewarded for what is an important income at an important stage of a football clubs financial year. I do genuinely believe that NC has f*cked up with the lack of payment plan, and the club could have handled it better. I do not concede to the thought that he is intentionally trying to reduce STH's and thus p*ss off the fans. That idea is crazy, i can see where it has come from however. I do believe that there are genuine reasons why this scheme has not been used, this being that the club has been blacklisted for its administration. Also as far as the £3 booking fee is concerened, yes it is a tad excessive but fair play for being honest and saying 'this is what it is and this is why' instead of hiding it by blanket raising prices for all tickets to cover this cost which would have been done previously.

And some mugs just love to open up and spout sh*te. The world is full of variation

How is it stealth tax when he has told you what you are being taxed on, quite clearly ?? Lol, surely stealth tax would be applied by increasing the ticket prices, blanket type by £3 and thus insuring the admin costs are covered ?? Hence, once paying for the older type 'taxation' you are paying the 'stealth tax' and becoming the mug you labelled TDD Mong

Also, how do you know the club itself is not blacklisted ?

Lol you really are a fool

F*cking lol, so you would rather agree with Cortese 'hiding' the £3 admin fee then actually being honest and saying this is what is happening ?? How do you know it was never already there but hidden ?? How is the club 'taking the p*ss?' How much did we spend last year ? How much better is the club run to the dark days ?? Literally, WTF is going on :smt102

Oh my f*cking god, just as i was thinking Dune wasn't as complete a bell end as i originally thought he then goes and posts this pile of pure crap. I really can't be arsed to read through the rest of this thread, i read the main parts except for the lunatics that are actually agreeing with the mentalist. Complete and utter madness.

Number 1, there is no way Zebra would do this for free. Number 2, How are they discount supporters ?? And if they struggle so hard to afford it, surely they can't justify it ??

FFS, don't get taken in by the so called Cortese tax (lol) and the fact that apparantly some credit company will do this for free. Truth is, they won't, there is no way a company will do the administration for free, and no, it is not as cheap as people are making out. Someone said earlier about the fact that the club has struggled to get sponsors etc and will probably struggle with finance as we currently have a poor credit rating, this i can believe. Cortese diliberately reducing STH's i do not, at all. I can however agree with The9 that ideally this should have been addressed before and there could have been a warning etc, but then what would that have done ?? people would not have 'saved' for it, we would just have had earlier threads like this one. Get over it, there are options out there, you can get 0% credit cards, i did before and i had no credit history and was given a 1k limit and still manage to get 0% credit cards if and when i need one. And no, we are not blindly following NC into the flames but there is a difference between that and deliberately winding people up and getting on the mans back because of things that may or may not be true.
