Tbf he says that before every game, like me and 7-1

 

Astro

He’s basically Matthew but actually responds to people’s comments and gets less personal than the Welsh creep.

He’s a typical autistic fanboy though, and a massive ****.

 

That's always been the differentiator betwwen a 'supporter' and a 'fan' ..

 

and some sections of our support question what she brings to the table!

once confirmed we wouldn’t be putting staff on Furlough I have had nothing but glowing respect for what our club has done to support the community that allowed it to grow to what it is now.

 

I've got Sucky on selective mental ignore ... a function that allows me to ignore most of his utter bollocks

 

tbf Sucky is funny and I like him, Astro does seem very intense

 

We've confirmed no furloughing of employees and have set up club wide support systems for University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust and Age UK Leicestershire & Rutland.

Our young Chairman appears to be a chip off his father's block ... there is already a wing of Leicester Royal Infirmary named after the old man who donated £2 million of his own money towards the state of the art premature babies unit.

Not surprisingly the people of Leicestershire have genuine respect and love for the family that not only delivered a sporting 'wildest dream' but have taken the people of their adopted UK city to heart.

 

Yeah Sucky is sound. And what's more he gives zero ****s about what anybody thinks of him on here. Always bats it off with a laugh too.

That makes him a good un in my opinion. Apart from the fact that he's a wrong un' of course.

 

Did read the stuff Leicester are doing also. It’s about community. As football clubs at all levels should, because if they are not linked to it, they become no more than a franchise who value the people overseas more than on the doorstep.

 

Sucky's a piss flap ... but he's our piss flap

 

I do 2 and 3.

But non-paying fans do also contribute in terms of the money generated from sponsorship deals. That's why clubs care so much about getting good estimates of their worldwide fanbase in the first place.

 

I didn't say the crowd is irrelevant, I said financially irrelevant. The original point was that those who go the game should appreciate they are already in a priviledged position compared to the majority of their team's fans so missing 4/5 games because a pandemic forces the league to be finished behind closed doors shouldn't be a big deal.

The crowd has a major impact but I disagree that the passion will be missing from the players. Everyone knows it's only temporarily behind closed doors because of the crisis. Tobes claims it will destroy home advantage, well Liverpool currently has one of the best home records in history but I back our players to remember the fans and still play to their ability.

 

The figures you posted suggest Everton’s season ticket holders account for 13% of revenue. It’s arguably the clubs most reliable and consistent revenue stream as they are the most loyal and committed fans. I don’t think any club would consider their season ticket holders to be financially irrelevant. The fact that you do is yet another example of how you are completely out of touch with what it means to be a football fan. Absolutely guaranteed that a club would look at you and look at a season ticket holder and make a lightning quick judgement on which one is financially irrelevant.

 

I am trying to understand how Astro actually “invests” in his club as he doesn’t attend any matches and doesn’t spend any money in official merchandise. By all accounts all he does is sit at home and clap at the tv, so his beloved Liverpool don’t benefit financially from him being a fan.

 

Then you can move yourself from fan to true supporter and I apologise for slurring you in that way.

You also have my support now on the season not being cancelled as I will be back in the UK in late May -early June and want to take in some games then!

Everton could easily go 100% ST like many PL clubs.

the money fans bring to the club and local economy is something that he doesn’t understand.

but he thought furlough was bad, then good then back to being bad.

 

You’re relentless

 

If I'm right, and of course I may not be, Archers works for the rails and once worked for Royal Mail. Not to mention he's got that hippy musician vibe going on, so you won't find a more died in the wool red man on this site. '

I wouldn't surprise me if he lights candles around his Stalin portrait before he goes to bed every night.

 

Definitely not a Stalinist. A Socialist and a Trade Unionist, but a very liberal (note the small 'l') one.

If there is one thing I think this government has got right so far, it's their reliance on persuasion rather then coercion when it comes to directing public behaviour. If there's one thing they absolutely must take the blame for, it's the indisputable fact that 10 years of Tory austerity has weakened the capacity of the NHS and what's left of the welfare state to cope with a crisis of this kind.
