    Really?

    If nobody bought anything to do with the club, tickets, merch - nothing, I bet that idea would change.


    Without the fans, the club is nothing.

    Turnstile receipts are a small percentage of overall income, but they set the price a club can charge for advertising, sponsorship etc, as well as generating income from merchandising and concessions. It also adds to the money Sky's prepared to pay if there's a decent atmosphere as it makes for a more marketable product.

    The failings come when fans get mistaken for customers, especially if it's the fan making the error.

    The fans ARE the Club.

    You really are starting to irritate me now, where did I say it was a gut feeling with nothing to substantiate it, in your head only.

    Instead of boring everyone with your same old **** why do you not answer the question instead of avoiding it?

    Here I will post it again in case you missed it "You really are starting to irritate me now, where did I say it was a gut feeling with nothing to substantiate it, in your head only".

    The fact you've ignored answering my reply (point me to where you've substantiated your opinion) makes it clear you can't and you're just looking for a pointless argument.

    No devils advocate, simply a considered opinion.

    You accuse me of saying something that I have not said as I have highlighted above,when you are challenged on it you ignore it as is your ilk. Please do not quote me on something that I have not said as it just makes you look a bigger knob than you are.
    Now you point me to where you reckon I made that statement and stop ignoring my question.

    <laugh> I've answered it.

    I'll try answering it another way. If yours isn't just a gut feeling, point me at the posts where you substantiate your view. There's no need to get arsey, I'm not even saying you're wrong, simply that I can't see how you've formed your opinion.

    I never said it was a gut feeling so how the hell can I substantiate something that I haven't said, that statement as I have pointed out numerous times came from your head, if I am wrong please tell me the exact post number where I said it,otherwise move on.
    I am getting arsey because you are being a knob about it.

    I think I see the confusion. He's not asking you to substantiate your view being a gut feeling.

    Either your view on the name change is substantiated or it is a gut feeling. You're saying it's not a gut feeling, so he's asking you where you've substantiated your view so he can try and understand why you believe what you do about the name change.

    <doh> I see. I never said you made that exact statement, I meant that position was implied from your posts. You seem to keep saying it's your opinion because that's what you think, not why you think it.

    Oh, and calling people a knob etc is easy, luckily I don't need to do that. I think people reading your replies will be quite able to form the opinion of you without me needing to highlight it. ;)

    Glad you can see it because he can't and I certainly can't.
    He is accusing me of saying something that I never said and being a right knob about it because he will never admit to being wrong, that why we are going round in circles and he is close to being the only 1 on my ban list, calls himself a moderator ha ha

    I've just posted similar.

    It won't stop him just posting mindless abuse though.

    So you never said it "You've said yours is just a gut feeling with nothing to substantiate it" Now tell me that I can't read either.
    I call as I see it and if you are that sensitive about it maybe you shouldn't be on a football forum, let alone moderate it.
    You do call people names as I have pointed out previously and just on another thread where you are insulting another user, so don't try and come the innocent cause you have been busted.

    On the other thread you chipped in on, I'm making an observation and expressing an opinion. Insults are the childish squawkings when someone calls another poster a knob. If I was sensitive I'd be bothered. <laugh>

    I've explained the misunderstanding as has someone else. I can't help it if you still don't get it. I can only think I was right earlier when it looked like you were simply looking for an argument.

    Oh and being a mod's **** all to do with anything.
