Don't remember any other feelings TBH. The only momentous feeling I will experience, hopefully, is the day these twats have fucked off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That says a lot regarding how our ticket sales affect playing budget. Well, as the attendances figures given out, certainly before Shez came back, bore little resemblance to the numbers in the ground, and as the increase in attendances occured after the transfer window so we couldn't sign anyone anyway, I'd say it does. The shite season ticket sales due to last seasons boycotted probably contributed to the decision to take out the EFL loan with all that entailed. Well that, and Abdallah being clueless.

However, I don't want to hear a word of moaning about the players, manager, recruitment or results from anyone who chooses not to attend or support the club financially. Once you don't support the club you give up that right to moan about the standard we are at. I’m not getting a season ticket and I’ll continue to call out the clowns destroying the club as much as I want and won’t be taking any lectures from Barry’s sidekick.

From what I can tell from looking at the increases in attendances since Shez came in, it could be something in the region of £200k to £300k of additional ticket sales revenue that came into the club before the cut off date for signing free transfers in March. The loan wasn't paid off, no additional signings were made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case, I expect to see all of the POTD ticket money from Feb-April going into the playing budget for next season - we should have a bumper budget!

The alternative is that Abdallah could have attempted to fix the route cause of why fans were staying away but chose not to. He’d prefer to slash the budget accordingly rather than understand why fans are turning their backs. I personally don’t really care if we go down again so if we have a crap squad, we have a crap squad - National League/National League North are just varying degrees of shite. We will bounce back, but only when the Lemsagams have gone and I’m willing to try anything that could speed up that process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Whilst I don't agree with the tone of PeteG post I had thought similar myself, I've witnessed prominent members of PTB and the other groups hell bent on protest booing players and generally behaving like bellends at away days, I get that Abdallah and his cronies need to go but what do you get out of attending and giving dogs abuse to players who are just not good enough, it's not their fault they are not good enough.

You have been fed certain information but don't really know the full background into our case. It isn't the same as you had at Blackpool at all. I don't think I suggested it was the same. In the short time I've been posting on here I have been at pains to point out similarities AND differences. You OP was entirely predicated upon success having a correlation with revenue. If that were true, then why are Bradford in League 2, and Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich in League One? Luton and Blackpool in the Championship? Revenue is only as effective as the way in which it is used. The recent history of your club suggests that what revenue the club has had has been poorly utilised. The fact that you are going down, still under an embargo, with a bunch of inadequate players and the prospect of a complete rebuild does not suggest to me that the current owners are proper custodians for either your club or the fans' money. And that is the crux of it, isn't it? Continuing to give money and support to people who have proved over and over again that they aren't worthy of it is the irrational behaviour in all of this, not boycotting. And to coin a phrase, if you continue to support a model that clearly isn't working, "you give up the right to moan about the standard". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry is that if nobody goes to the games etc, there will be nothing left to sell, and it will be liquidation before long. Businesses with no customers don't tend to survive. You might be right, withdrawing support might force him out. I prefer the vocal and visible demonstrations, as that's the only thing he seems to listen to. Anyway, hopefully there's somebody who wants to buy us,they get a move on and they're a massive upgrade on the last few owners, who between them have brought us to this.

Players, manager and results I can understand to a point as the opinion will be less reliable compared to someone who goes regularly. But you better believe that I'll be moaning about our terrible recruitment. And it will be terrible, because the people currently running the club are incompetent and proven failures.
