Old duffers?? :mad:

WTF?? Worse than Stanley's deleted "Bring back smoking" thread. I notice no posts on it yet.

I don't think I was alone in the "pop" to which you allude ;-) In fact, reading back, I was waving goodbye to this deliberate wind-up several pages back. Can't remember what dragged me back to be honest. Time to have another go....:smt039

Blimey - are you in politics or something? This is a place for rash argument, not reasoned understanding of every view/opinion on display :-) OK, I will concede that many people acted in what they thought was the best long term interest of the club whether I like it or not. Some undoubtedly did it because of a bloody-minded hatred of RL with little thought of the possible outcome. Will you concede that point? Either way, I think this thread was an invitation for people to gloat with the benefit of hindsight, when in actual fact that may be premature. I sincerely hope that they are right of course, because that will mean we have a future to look forward to.

It is a bit of a catch-22. They won't open the corners unless they think that the cost will be recouped. I think the best thing to do is buy a season ticket (if that is the intention). If season ticket sales are good enough they may decide to open the corners and allow those who want to to transfer back to their original seats. I am sure they have it all on record.

OK - we've veered off the point slightly. Do you think that the people (however many) who thought this way were confident that they done the right thing when we were (and maybe still are) teetering on the brink - i.e. before last Friday's announcement? If the worst happens, would they all be gloating about how they had acted in the long term interests of the club?

In a few years time I doubt very much whether anyone will be remotely interested in what you predicted on a forum to which a few hundred fans subscribe. However, I sincerely hope that you do not end up with a large egg on your face in 18-19 days time. After all, disagreements aside, we all want the same thing.

I am not saying they had no right to hold that view - you are putting words into my mouth. All I am saying is that IMHO withholding financial support from the club was short-sighted, moreover doing so and now claiming that everything that has happened since (administration, 10 point deduction et al) was part of their strategic thinking in doing so. I think it was just sheer bloody mindedness for the most part. I admit that that end result may actually be the best thing to happen to SFC for some time, but I do not accept people claiming that this outcome (if it does work out) was what they envisaged would happen. We came far too close to oblivion for anyone to have been confident they did the right thing. Claiming so now is just doing so with the benefit of hindsight - premature gloating perhaps?

Well if it does you can be 100% sure that Stanley will claim that he predicted that too. I am, of course, assuming that his threads/posts on the subject don't get deleted like his latest wheeze did.

Damn - sussed!

Who's Dave?

Don't get me wrong - I believe he made some terrible decisions that contributed to our relegation from the Prem, but then he was ousted and replaced by a set of clowns who made an even bigger ****-up - wage bill 80% of costs FFS!. He then returned and compounded matters with this Dutch master plan when we should have kept Pearson (with a wage reduction). Despite this, I kept my ticket and kept watching the dross because if I had done otherwise I would have to add myself to the list of idiots who sank this club still further into the ****. I have no problem with people who stopped going because they could not justify paying to watch crap. I do have a problem with people who could afford to go but refused maintain their financial support to our ailing club just because of who the current Chairman was.

Nothing to do with the board put together by Wilde (post Lowe) borrowing £6m (sic) we could not repay then?

I seem to remember that the Spurs heavies were supposed to be turning up to give Saints a good kicking....and the handful that did show turned tail when they realised how many Saints fans were there. I also went to the previous game where we beat Luton 2-1 at Kenilworth Road (space hopper and blow up lady bouncing around the terraces). Nearly got blinded by a cube of sugar (of all things) in the coach coming home! Sorry - nostalgically wandered off thread a bit there.

:smt043 yeah OK, whatever you say. By the way, can you let me know if we will appeal this 10 point deduction and also I really need to know what the outcome will be. I don't want to waste any money betting on a play-off spot until I know for sure.

Come on - I can see you now (in my minds eye) laughing as you are keying this stuff in. You've got a little pad next to your screen and you are ticking it off every time somebody bites one way or the other. Admit it - no sane person would really believe that this was all some sort of master plan concocted by the masses. Next you'll be saying that you all communicated your ongoing strategy by telepathy.

Crikey - sure does! There must be at least 5 of you now. Sounds to me like the local "Home for the bewildered" is having an outing to the local Internet Cafe today. They are all sat there sucking coffee through straws and posting away feverishly in support of this wind up from Stanley.

Never heard of him Chris ;-)

Correct - in fact they are very quiet.

Bet you don't know his sisters as well as I do (well one of them anyway) ;-)

1+1=2, 1+2=3, 1+3=4,.......have I lost you yet?

...and the last to know his name too.......oh! - you noticed first :-)

When are you stoppin' then?
