... will any of you attendance nay-sayers in a financial position to attend change your minds, since he would have swallowed his very inflated pride ???

 

I went to the Blackpool game on the back of the joy of the Derby win.

 

I've no reason to return.

 

I'm looking forward to Rotherham and Donaster though.

I'm not so sure that people avoid games because of Lowe TBH. They might use that as an excuse, but actually I think most are put off by the appaling value for money in supporting Saints these days.

 

Edit: I guess Stanley would disagree with that. :|

 

There are many people staying away because of Lowe, it's only a few odd people on here who don't want to accept that he's had a negative impact.

Correct. An all in purchase of about 80 pounds personally to go see Saints at the moment isn't worth it.

 

Couldn't give a f**k who the chairman is (they have all been as bad as each other....) I just want my team to show some signs of success for a change.

I'll buy a season ticket the day Lowe goes, as long as he is still about I'm not going.

I know a few fans who have stopped going because of Lowe. The Lowe factor has definitely affected some.:(

You see this I don't get.

 

I don't like Lowe either, but I doubt his salary is x% of the matchday gate receipts. The only entity suffering by boycotting matches is the club.

 

Personally I would still go to see Saints if Hitler was the chairman. I think it's sad if people are refusing to turn up because he is in charge. Half the people on this board probably think their boss is a w*nker. Would you resign because of it, or just grin and bare it because it's a nescessary evil?

 

When Lowe was in charge in our first CCC season, when we had a slowly declining chance at the playoffs, we had attendances of over 20,000. The last match before he left was Leciester at home in 2006 when 26,801 came through the gate. Since Lowe hasn't done anything of note between then and the start of this campaign, I find it hard to believe that is the reason 12,000 people have disappeared.

Blind loyalty to your team keeps many fans going (me included) but everyone has their limit of how much ****e they will take before they decide that it just isn't worth it anymore. About 7000 have reached that point since the end of last season. I've been a ST holder since 1988 and a regular since 1977 and the cracks are beginning to show. Today was ****ing desperate, so was Blackpool and if we get beat by Rotherham and then Doncaster, the gate for the Norwich game will be sub-13000.

You just don't get it do you, even with Lowe gone it will hardly affect attendances, just give you something else to bump your gums about. These marvellous supporters like yourself can really get stuck into a whingefest and do what you do best. Crouch and Fulthorpe can dig over the embers and promise a real fans club, though it is not going to make a jot of difference and not even capable of returning us to the glories of this season. I am still hanging onto the railings from the last surge when we got our club back. Hard times are certainly ahead, but don't go expecting all these marvellous supporters to come back irrespective of what occurs off the field. We shall get what we rightly deserve.

I have a ST in the Northam and although fans come and go,there has been a constant number of regular fans around me.

But this season apart from the people i go with(a crowd of 20),not one of the fans who were there before this season have renewed.

I look around from my seat and i dont recognise anyone from last seaon.

I used to think that those stay away fans had got it wrong,but after todays shower of ****e,i dont blame them.

We'll see how the land lies when we draw Arsenal, Man U or Chelsea at home in the Carling.

 

All that would do would bring out those who just want to see the stars of the Premiership.

 

A week later we will be back to 14,000.

 

Still, some are so blind they just can't see.

He won't beg, he will just come out with something like "the people who have a personal vendetta against me, and especially those who are staying away because of it, are killing this club".

 

I agree. But that at least will be an acknowledgement that his return has done this. At the moment the silence from SMS boardroom is deafening, even though he must be worried about gate revenue.

even though it is a lie

 

it is the type of sterile football which seems to have forgotten that the aim is to score goals

They must be shi877ing themselves over the gate revenue.

 

They probably had an idea from season ticket sales that we would not be up with last season, but there is no way they would have been budgeting around the 14,000-15,000 mark.

As newly installed CEO of this business Mr Lowe's job was to cut costs and makes sure those people who hold the businesses debts were satisfied.

 

In this he has completed his job although this part of cost saving is very, very easy. The Americans love it and named it 'downsizing' a few years ago (although the Harvard Business School trained gentlemen who started the whole thing off has since come out and said it was a bad idea after all - oops!) but another big part of being CEO of this business is attracting more 'customers' and possible 'investors' by producing a product that everyone wants and is better than the other businesses you compete with. In this he has failed - the product is so poor that the business is the third worst performing in it's market and no new customers are on the books, in fact long-term existing customers are leaving.

 

I think this CEO is staring down the barrel of a loaded gun and as everything so far completed has been fully implemented by himself he has to take the sole blame.

 

He is the CEO of this business - no one else.

 

Oh and personally I do not like the man one iota but this doesn't really affect the above.

I believe that I was a few seats away from you with my son last season. We're still going, but haven't renewed our STs. We don't wish Lowe to have the satisfaction of knowing that he has our money and can get away with serving up youthful dross. As we haven't laid out our season's money in advance, we reserve the right to cherry pick matches in future if we don't stop the rot soon. As it costs the same now to watch the better teams in the division as it does the poorer ones, if we have something on that is more pressing on our entertainment commitments on a Saturday, or if we become too nonchalent about going out on a cold Winter's Tuesday night, then we can give it a miss and save some cash. If by doing that along with others attendance levels fall still further and the club is dragged towards administration, then Lowe had better do something about it, or he will lose his money tied up in his shares. I would feel sorry that Saints had arrived at that state, but Lowe, Wilde, Askham, Richards etc losing their money would be the silver lining.
