Bloody hell. Looking at that vid above you're bang on. Even when I stopped going, the kc didn't look like that.
I know I'm repeating myself, but those empty seats shout their own message. People tried shouting me down when I predicted it after the previous evictions.
Looking back at page 3, I've just seen the pic of the pub with the red cards on the bar. As much as i think that's superb (as well as the steward handing them out), there's one question in my head: How the hell has it come to this?
The last evictions? When have we not rolled over for the Allams? They divide and conquer .......... they're doing the same now.
100% agree, the likes of Adam Pearson must be viewing the current goings on at our club, a club that he played a large part in setting us on to a long awaited successful road, and thinking 'what the **** are the Allam's thinking?'.
Those, myself included, that have stopped going to The Circle have not rolled over spes, they've just decided that they've had more than enough of this bunch of odious ****s. I'll be back when they've ****ed off and not before.
Pearson was, and is, everything the Allams will now never be. A shame they can't take a leaf out of his book.
Problem with that was, and speaking as an Evictee from E3 to N4, although I was a bit disgruntled about the timing and speed of it, I actually thought it had some merits, get everyone behind the goal who wants to sing, create the atmosphere etc. And in the first season, it did work to some extent, everyone stood up etc. However to then put the prices up again after a relegation season is pure business suicide. As we can see from the empty seats and lowest average attendence since we moved to the KC. But.....we have to remember no-one can question their business accumen. Start with 22,000 customers. Get rid of 7,000. Alienate the remaining 15,000 and punish the young and the elderly. Yes, Richard Branson must be ****ting himself.
We're in a minority LB, we had a half hearted (but winning) battle re. the name change (booed by our own) and a less than half hearted response to the East stand ''cleansing'' - should we get back to the PL the KC will be packed next season, that's a FACT as they all say.
Which is why I totally understand Filey hoping that we don't get promoted, in the hope that the Allam's will finally **** off, and at the same time OLM hoping that we do as we'd have a greater chance of finding new owners. If Carlsberg did divide and conquer...
