I'll have Doug's seat when he is away scouting our new left back , particularly if Christine is adjacent.

Think it's actually a doppelganger, but it's small details like that that give the game away.

Tell that to the fans if Doug King keeps his hands in his pockets. Fans are the best at telling owners what to do

Weve already paid our way .. so no its not an excuse to not buy players .. silly really

It really isn't. Your season ticket/ match day doesn't even cover the day to day running of the club.

Whose fault is that? Fans can only buy the tickets on sale. If your business isn’t profitable when selling out of products that’s very much a management skill issue in another other industry.

No. But King would have a bigger headache if we slipped down the leagues than we would.
He'll do what's right for his investment. Not act on awhim because fans left early.

Sure but staying for 5 minutes wont be the reason doug doesnt spend money , as i said , fans have already done whats required of them financially
Some crazy silly nonsense on this thread about fans leaving early , adults too

Sounds like you are advocating higher pricing on tickets?

Look if fans want to leave early they can , all of the nonsense suggestions of people abandoning their club and not being real fans and now talking about the owner not spending ..fucking weird , feel like im on twitter again

I mean more those who’ve been going since League 1 to the earlier years of the return to the Championship.

Ah well then .. thats a hardcore 9000
There is no ticket price that will realistically fund the club's ambitions. It's not our problem.

I'm not suggesting he won't invest. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of fans who like "their freedom of choice" but also like to tell owners how to spend their money.

Well really I’m advocating for lower wages for crappy footballers. Or higher TV money. Or higher ticket prices. Or accepting football isn’t sustainable at this level and stop pretending fans have anything to do with funding. Any will do.
I leave a couple of minutes before the end for reasons I won’t go into on here. I am not a plastic fan and it’s pretty upsetting to be effectively called one in such a sweeping generalization.
I get what he’s saying but he should of just said nothing. The money the fans have been spending in the etc must have broken records.
The fans are probably the best in the league home and away.
They leave early when they are winning too it wasn’t just because we were loosing it’s just what fans do for different reasons.
I think the pressure is getting to Frank a bit too and they are not thinking clearly.

Have read it again and still think the focus is more on the droves after the second. King isn’t dumb, he knows fans always have and nearly always will leave early regardless - as that’s just what they do 
The thread has turned into a mess though, I don’t think there’s any reason someone should be offended by his message. And it’s weird that some on the other side of the fence have decided to push an idea that fans are shit for it.

Raised one or two good points - As far as the ticket exchange is concerned - Ram that one straight up your hoop, Douglas ( and I know you will be reading this 
)
We (as ST holders don’t expect the world) but you are being somewhat a cheeky chappy with your paltry offer - Our commitment does not match yours.
Oh and when you’re being shalaked by vastly superior opposition for 95% of the game and THEN(!) going 2-0 down is it any surprise that 50% of the stadium should decide to leave a 30,000 attendance when travel infrastructure is on a par with our current defensive/attacking capabilities?
