3k

Quoted from realist

But it does make me wonder that if they had to work a lot harder for our money would we get less bad days like last Saturday?  Does the club really deserve such blind support?

Here you make a great point.I have raised this several times and you are most certainly right to challenge it and hopefully at some point we might get heard.We can only effect things we can change and assuming we still wish to attend the games and support the team/manager/club that means putting it formally through the correct channels.A good rant will only ever make you feel better it won`t change anything.

I agree with you in principle, and i have not bought one myself this season, partly for the reasons you mention. If we are as bad again this year, i have the option to swerve some games, but if we do well, the club will get more money out of me over the season.

Quoted from 1mickylyons

whilst saying 3k people are mugs for parting with it

In my opinion yes. But we live in a free society and you can do what you want within reason as I can say what I want within reason.

Thats strange, just about every other business can. Why cant football clubs? Give the punters the right product and they will come

I could reasonably argue that things are so bad because of st holders. They have your cash regardless and don't have to put any effort in to get your repeat custom.  So you are the cause of a lot of the problems, not a cure as you would prefer to see yourselves

No. You couldn't.

I'm afraid realist it's not about giving the club blind support, to me about supporting this club through thick and thin, the bad, the good and the ugly times and I can guarantee you one thing, if it wasn't for the STHs the gates at BP would never be over 2000, which directly affects all involved, from the bar, to the burger vans, programme sales and Mcdonalds(slightly tongue in cheek)..
With a season ticket in my back pocket I make sure I get there, would I feel I need to get my backside down there if not and maybe sit in my armchair, put radio Hullside on, crack a tinny open???....
So all I'm saying is, without STHs this club would be in a bigger mess than it is right now...

Mr Fenty now has his 3000  loyal servants he now has the money , along with the Dembele 100k to see the season out . He isn't gonna give a flying f what any of you lot think now ... exceptional PR JOB BY ALL CONCERNED .....

Dembele 100 grand and the rest !!!

Chicken feed to GYFerrers. There would be more STHs but for work, family circumstances and exile travel issues.  A ST is just not viable for many. Far from being a mug or blind supporter I saw the opportunity to save a few quid on the £1100 I spent last year and took the plunge.  For the previous 60 years it was not an option.

So other businesses dont have large recurring expenditure to keep competitive. I have a 1,5 million upgrade due  which I managed to budget for even with most of my customers invoiced 90 days on account. I will need more larger investment next year. Far more than is being spent on new players and site mntnce. Plus I have to suffer major depreciation, there is never a Bogle type windfall A football club is absolutely no different apart from a few mugs  that think they are "doing ther bit" by paying upfront

There aren't that many investments as risky as a footballer. For every Bogle there's several crocks.
