Cornwall_Saint Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 We keep seeing posters claim there’s a majority for this, against that, and others saying there’s no evidence to support the arguments. Granted BAWA doesn’t speak for every single Saints fan, but it may give us a broader idea of the preferences of the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve hit the nail on the head, BAWA doesn’t speak for everyone & the poll will serve no purpose. It’s just rehashing the same old, tired point that will not change unless we can get more SMFC fans to games Just need to have a look through the SMISA page then compare it to the actual votes to see that this vote is meaningless.

shull Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Dont' even give the Bigots the North Stand. KEEP THE CNUTS OUT OF OUR STADIUM. WE DO NOT NEED THEM If we are forced, give them one section of it for maybe 100 of their scummy fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That money could have been the difference between top flight & Championship football last season. What it boils down to for me is empty seats or an additional revenue stream. I don’t see it having a big impact on anyone really. But again all old ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t make anything up, making it up would be saying ‘it did make the difference’ it’s not going to change, the fans against it will just need to accept that. Short term, likely get a vote on it when BTB completes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're trying your usual spin, making out it was a factor, you tried the same tactic with Shull the other day, selective quoting to demean his point.

I don’t point things out as fact that aren’t fact, I can make assumptions, I can make guesses & often they’re based on pretty strong evidence but I don’t set myself up to be caught out. That’s where you interpret as spin when it’s really just common sense. As for Shull, I picked out the points from a list that I felt were ridiculous & even said in other posts some of his points were valid. The style of our strip & a decision made by a guy that is now four managers ago are not. Simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people do that on here & leaves them open to being called out as wrong. For me it’s just common sense, a lot of what we discuss isn’t based on undeniable evidence so why put your head on the block? Some people do with comments like the DOF model has failed. GLS is a liar. SMISA are breaking regulatory requirements. SMFC don’t care about young fans. Paraphrasing granted but much is ridiculous & not based in any of the information we do know.

Your first line of argument against everyone is ‘where is the evidence to show xxxxxxx’ you then go on and on about the lack of evidence. Your constant spinning and twisting and turning to try and justify you (or the boards) version of ‘common sense’ must leave you dizzy.

Your constant spinning and twisting and turning to try and justify you (or the boards) version of ‘common sense’ must leave you dizzy. I'm not making an assumption though because I don't have the evidence. This is my whole point, it would be equally ridiculous for someone to claim the majority of fans are in favour of the arrangement, that's why I'm not doing it. Again back to my point, it isn't spin, I just don't assume things I don't know. Yes I will give an opinion on what I think is the case but where that is different from some others, is people actually making claims as fact that they can't know (See LPM call to action post for an example) I don't think I can make this any simpler.

Tommy Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Maybe the only way round this would be for the club to charge £23 instead of £22 for walk up fans and a extra £5 on season tickets. The extra money would likely cover the extra that the club gets when playing the bigots. At £23 we would still be 1 of the cheapest ground in the top league. I see Livy are charging us £25.

Why have the walk up fans to fork out more, when the season tickets are already discounted. Unless of course you meant £5 a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
