Katalinic Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 Thank you Nicola and Markus - but I still think you have made an error of judgement on season tickets. The point you are missing Avenue Saint is that the criticism or questioning of one decision is not the same as being critical of the owners or organisation as a whole.

Wes Tender Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 I thank them both that I have a club to support. When one sees the way that the Skates are headed towards oblivion just one year after we endured the same uncertainty, I would have thought that any sensible fans would have been only too happy with how lucky we have been that ML and Cortese came to our rescue. All of these minor blips are probably due to it being half-term and too many being off school with too much time on their hands. Thank God there is the World Cup available to keep idle minds occupied and then the new season will be upon us. A flying start with quality new players will have all this petty stuff forgotten soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester_Saint Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 Love them for what they did in saving us and making us financially healthy, ambitious future etc. but starting to see some slightly worrying developments. Hard to put my finger on it but I don't think people have quite as much confidence and respect for Cortese already, and they have only been here for a season. Listening to the fans more and rewarding them would help as he seems to be a very ruthless business man who is stubborn and only does what he wants to do - he's not going to listen to anyone else but has to understand that the voice of the fans is a loud voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stmusicdude Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 nah mate! no cortese, no Markus, so keep your thanks to yourself.

That has to be the biggest fear, Liebherr leaving. not too many like him in football these days. I, for one am more than happy if one day they sell us on for a tidy sum BUT, what I will be eternally grateful for is that in doing so (hopefully) they will have picked us up off the floor from the third division and got us back to the top and self sufficient.

Many Thanks LOL - meanwhile you still licking your wounds that nobody gave a sh*t about your pointless huff over the 125th anniversary kit? People have a staggeringly short memory and lack of history if they cannot see how positive NC and ML are for the club. I cannot remember a time when I've looked more forward to a new season, challenging for the title and building on the momentum of the last year. And to think only a year ago when most of us would have been content with mere survival. Really some people need to have a word with themselves.

Please can you try your best not to fleece fans in your quest to maximise your income whilst on the road to the holy grail which is the Premiership. Congratulations once again on your investment.

stmusicdude Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 voicing a fair opinion and "BOYCOTTING" the club???? When you u understand the difference, come talk to me. and when you understand .. not buying a programme & not spending as much on food & merchandise ... which was what the poster stated isnt exactly a boycott more a way of recouping the funds needed to find the extra .. I at no point have mentioned or agreed to boycotting .. all I said was the person who said they would do this was shouted down.. but what’s actually wrong with adjusting your budget/? On the one hand now we have people saying if you dont like it stay away ( vote with your feet) & in the next breath slating the going to spend less at the stadium ... who is it here that actually wants it both ways?

If it was not for NC and ML the club would now not exist, people need to be grateful. oh yes .. ML spends £20m on an investment & then decides before the investment improves in value to what sell ?.. because people on a forum on the net disagree with something that has changed? good god he didnt get where he is on whims & nor did NC they are not weak & will ride this out & IF it goes well will be forgotten If it dosent a re think might be required but either way they a lil stronger than running away coz some forum posters disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 if NC calls it a day will ML really call it a day? If ML sells up what effect will that have on the club? How close to being self sufficient are we?

dubai_phil Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 Dear oh dear. FFS it is still less than 12 months since the ONLY thing standing between Saints and oblivion was LLS & Pinnacle. FWIW NC has been analysed to death, he is a nasty piece of work, but he is OUR nasty piece of work and to be perfectly honest thank GOD he is around. IF he screws up then ML will be the one to remove him, NOT a couple of Cyber Warriors I think he has made a bad call on the ST's but then we already know he is a "****" and WE, yes WE made it impossible for him to sack AP and yet we are in uproar because he decided to take some spiteful revenge. I don't give a sh1t about NC, as long as HE gets the structure in place to get us back to the CCC next season and then gets us challenging for the PL. But IF his ego/nastiness or whatever starts making stupid decisions that affect us on the pitch and stop us being L1 champions....

The boy done well Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 This has been a great year with next year likely to be even better. I am extremely grateful to have my club and one of the main real passions in my life back. Then some guy called Dune comes on and hijacks every existing thread and starts new ones bleating on about the lack of an instalment plan and a surcharge on buying tickets. How is he going to cope when we're back in the Premiership with Season tickets costing a lot more than they are now. Some teams will always be League 1. Sad though it is so will some fans. Give it a rest, Dune. I had some sympathy for your predicament initially but you've made yourself look daft. NC and ML are obviously at one. Without either or both it's League 1 for good which would maybe suit the very few. Not me though and I suspect the vast majority. It's wonderful being a Saints fan at the moment.
