bit of a bellend really aren't you . its quite apparent you have to try and make people feel inferior to yourself , I gave an opinion , you came in saying I was trying to make people feel guilty which in theory would be ridiculous as you are all adults and have your own rights and opinions yourselves , question my motives by all means but try and belittle me and well you then cross the line into twatville , seriously aj do what you want next season , all in all I couldn't give a toss

No there not, the only people being criticised are those backing the NOPM under SISU. People who only back NOPM until we are confirmed at the Ricoh are not really getting any stick, if they are it is unintentional as everyone has a different meaning of what the NOPM campaign is so its hard to keep track of who has what stance.

I can assure you my own criticism of NOPM is only to those who back it under any circumstances under SISU even if we are at the Ricoh.

I don't get the "continually accept failure" line that is thrown at fellow fans and has been for years, way before we started arguing about SISU. Used to happen on the Official Forum a decade ago and continued on the CET forum. If, for me, it was all about failure/success then I would either support a more successful team or stop going to football altogether. It's a cliché I know, but you support your club through thick and thin. For me it's been pretty much rubbish for 40 years apart from the obvious highlights, but that's what being a fan is all about; wishing for those highlights.

I want us to be successful as much as the next man, but am I going to start crying because we're not? No.

And yes, you're right, it is up to each one of us to do what we want.

whats more pathetic ...
1.Fans who continually accept failure and are more than happy to continue accepting it so they can say " when we went under ...I was there " .
2.Fans who cannot accept failure any longer both on and off the field and will stop spending hard earned cash on a no hope future that will continue to decline regardless of how many turn up because our owners have ZERO interest in the football club or fans .

its up to you of course if you go or stay away , but im staying away ,congrats to those who go , I have better things to spend my money on

Your first comment (insult) flowed by the subsequent comment shows you are a hypocrite. Like your Swiss mate as soon as someone says something you don't like you come out with a plethora of bilge.

As for your other dumb comment I have highlighted the benefit to the club in a season ticket is a lot more than someone coming from Switzerland or indeed Swaziland. If I'm think what in earth are you?

I'd rather be a fan who went and accepted failure than a fan who ditched his club at the first sign of failure, you are a prime example of a fan who will ditch the NOPM nonsense at the first hint of success or for the next big game in the cup regardless of owner


We wouldn't be a failure if we could have packed out the Ricoh on a regular basis

When SISU took over, I think they said they needed 24k at the Ricoh to break even, even though we were only averaging 17k or so at the time. How do you propose that gap be plugged? The only way in my mind would be invest in the team and climb the league, its the only way to win over the fair weather supporters who to be honest are sick and tired of what's been served to them over the years. Did they do that? NO!

They had already invested in the team when they initially came in though and that didn't convince the fair weather supporters to attend did it.

Look at Derby who are always midtable championship average 29, 29, 26, 23 over the last 5 years

As for the JPT thing. How can you deny it? There are thirty two thousand reasons why Grendel is right on that one and it will happen again this season too. A trip to the Emirates or Old Trafford is all it takes.

Torch, he states it as certainty. I think under the present cloud we are under we would not get anywhere near 32,000 for a game with Crewe in this season JPT , and that's my point

It wouldn't have to be Crewe. It could be anyone. A chance of a Wembley final and I will bet my right nut that we'd get a full house. Almost guaranteed.

They used to do my bloody head in.

What made it worse is when I found out that Vicky knew who my cousin was and started bringing that up whenever I would point out that Gordon Strachan was a twit.

I think that's when I became one of the many penguins!

Torch once again read what the twonk wrote, he states we would get a big crowd for a semi final of the JPT, I disagree that if this season we get to the JPT semi, which I think he means the Area final, we would get a big crowd.

He can't accept that most of the fans have simply had enough and won't support the club this year, whatever happens, and before anyone else comes in please research my view on this as I am sick of stating it

From what I remember, there was an awful lot of slagging off of Richardson and those two were among the handful trying to stem the tide. They were also among the few who thought Strachan's constant playing of people out of position (and Paul Williams in any position) was among the finest examples of tactical genius in all of football.

I never understood why.

Ringing up people and threatening them's going a bit far though!

Don't remember her being on LAST, but then again, I probably ignored her given her prior record!

Do what research? Last year the gate trebled when we got to the JPT area final. If we are at the Ricoh again next season in March you seriously think that they won't?

Based on what, your own dumb prejudices?

Your right - in a battle of intellects I clearly come second to you -- even though its obvious you are in a minority on this issue you are correct - same as yesterday when you exposed my economic ignorance by showing a guy travelling from Switzerland actually contributes more in one visit to the club than someone who buys a season ticket.

To me you just sound a bit sad and desperate. Never mind you can join your congregation on match days can't you?
