If we had 30,000 Americans paying 10$ a game to watch us Id class them as fans....(arse on seat or not) as a club Id be happy with the revenue.. same as 30,000 americans paying to see the Rolling Stones... they dont go to every gihg doesnt make them less of a fan... you are deemed to be a 'fan' of something if you like it, listen to it, read it, watch it. Im a huge fan of Star Wars (waits for grief.. kids ****e) Ive not once sat on the set of the movie... I must be quite plastic in that respect then Seriously though, I welcome anyone who would come and watch us, old, new, uber, part timer whatever.... our lass, as Ive mentioned before, is an Arsenal fan by default, shes been to Wembley (twice) to watch us, bought a shirt, gone to games... probably more to do with being a fan of me more than the club like, but nevertheless she was there... and this weekend she wont be... its not just Sunderland fans that seem to get wound up by it.... and only really seems to affect football if Im honest....
oddbod said: Hi Roger i dont smoke so i aint going to blow smoke up your ar**.....but when you banned me for complaining how poor the mods were at communication with their patrons I thought you were being petulant and authoritarian.I now realise what a diffucult job you have controlling the mob! Like many on her i joined not 606 to see what reiver (he was rightly banned imho for non footballing matters)had to say about the takeover and as soon as i started asking reiver about some of shall we say politely more wooly statements I was labelled a wum and banned.No communication whatsoever and whats worse every post i made was removed !Not that I suggest folk take a look to see what reiver is saying about posters on here but its an eyeopener but beware it a club for stepford wives/husbands ,tow the party line and dont make the mistake of challenging reiver or you will be replaced ! So respect for the job you do Roger allowing for the broad church of opinion and debate under difficult circumstances Oddbod posted that on RTG must have been banned from here as well. Wonder what he done? Mods here don't take no ****
That's a begging letter, enhanced by whingeing about us (and Smug), presumably counting the brownie points for doing so
It's actually amazing that anyone can read any oddbod post. They are akin to a bomb burst, and quite frankly, a disgrace to the English language.
"he was rightly banned imho for non footballing matters." Him, the other resident Trolls and the idiotic Mod keep repeating that line ... ... yet not one of them can explain what they mean. That's because it's nonsense. I'll offer the same bet I always do, £1000 to anyone who can prove I ever made any homophobic comment. The very worst thing I said was in response to someone saying 'you can't compare being in a car crash to being gay'. I said 'it depends if you've been rear ended' Now if thats worth a 3 month ban its no wonder people are baling out.
I worked on a Nottingham door of a club called The House which was as 'avant garde' as it comes. One of the doormen was a 6'2" transvestite with a beard who wore a miniskirt on the front door. ... ... he'd have laughed at that, yet the 'deliberately offended by everything' brigade think it's horrically insulting In reality they're just pretending to be horrified, of course, just another excuse to summon the clique and go on the attack.
The 'town lads' would sometimes go OTT as they passed the door and it would end up badly. Derek was a handy lad and would soon put them on their arse. He'd shout after them, 'now run off and tell the police you've been downed by a bloke in a miniskirt'. They didn't
And they wonder why we’re pilling onto here in droves. I just had a quick look on the takeover thread and didn’t even get through one page before I logged out. Its awful and such a shame as it was a canny thread before the mood hoovers took over.
