Tommy Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'm not 100% sure about this but I think it was the old Board that also put a stop to the next game being cheaper.It never affected me so you could well be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Genuinely thought this was very simple but should know better than to assume people will understand the simplistic on here) Some people make sweeping statements based on no facts or evidence. I don’t because it makes no sense to do so. Me saying people make statement without evidence is based completely in fact, just have to look back & see. Bullshit!

Good to see it brought up by someone else who gets it. I didn’t make a point though, what I did was ask a hypothetical question - if we had a half full Family Stand where the fans had nowhere to go in the Main or West, would the club keep it as ours even if it was only half full, or go for the money and boot them out for a guaranteed full stand of bigots?

But only half the Family Stand? Knowing they can fill the Family Stand with mutants three times a season, would they still kick out our own fans knowing they wouldn’t be able to enter the West/Main stands, or take the financial loss and allow our own fans in the Family Stand? I would put my house on Gordon continuing to sell the Family Stand excluding the OF games only now the price would be lower to compensate for the inability to re-house those supporters during OF matches. He has made the decision to give both goal stands to OF fans and we should consider this to be a deliberate and permanent decision until he leaves the club IMO. It's crystal clear by his actions that Gordon values £ signs more than he values anything else. Edited August 15, 2019 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems equally crystal clear (to me anyway) that anything he does (other than what you suggest) will NOT meet with your approval. Fair comment or not?

Will you? If so, then for around £28 with 1.000 others doing the same we can sell out that stand and test the theory. Money where my mouth is. Happy to start a thread to enable posters to signal their intention to the board if that helps. Good on you. A generous gesture - as you believe it may do the right thing, I guess. I have minor quibbles. simply administering it? Not to mention Accounting for it. Some resistance from other Buddies. Those like me, for example, who wouldn't dream of paying to share the same air as them, if avoidable. So... If I find them so despicable, I'd also be loathe to subsidise unfortunate recipients to have that inflicted on them. You may relax.... I think the odds are slim of you having to put your money where your mouth is on this one. "1.000 others doing the same". I'd say 1001-1 against.

suedehead Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 ..... This whole sorry affair has made me more angry with the club than anything else has since my first season as a fan in '67/'68. ....... (except maybe when they swapped Lex Richardson for Eric Sinclair) ..... Much as I would love to see our ground filled with our own fans every week, I'm not idealistic enough to believe it'll ever happen, and I'm pragmatic enough to acknowledge that it probably never will. .....

I'd like an initiative like that to be sponsored by SMISA and the names of contributors withheld. I's not only Tony that has a dream.

I'm a pragmatic optimist if such a beast exists. My optimism is built on the premise of having a team in or challenging for a top six place on the basis of a strong home record. Add to that the kind of percentage increases we have seen year on year over the past 3 years and I believe it is possible. Understand though that some might not.
