As I have posted before, I am a pensioner and well off. But not every pensioner has has a company pension, savings and no rent or mortgage. What do you suggest? Means-testing forms when applying for a ticket? If the no concessions idea is so brilliant can you let us know of the clubs queueing up to follow suit?
I had more than those choices. It was always going to be a **** up, I posted what would come about at the time, and every prediction was accurate. What was and remains shameful from that period, was the lack of unity, fellowship and supports from fans, for fans. That selfishness and lack of unity gave the Allams the feeling that they could do what they want. It played a part in the recent decisions.
I have also lived through some pretty terrible Owners & some pretty good ones but nothing has stopped me also supporting the Team - I have & will continue to criticise 'owners' who do damage to the 'club' & ultimately the HCAFC community & team . I see the present owners as nothing more than 'bankers' - like those who provide my mortgage, charge me interest on my 'loan' (not see as a gift by me) & other 'charges' , & they treat me better whilst taking my money , we have a very different moral compass as far as what owners can do
TOM posted Soton are not doing them. I asked him to clarify but he's not got back to me yet. I think they realised how self centred and ****ing selfish our own "fans" were to other fans. Divide and conquer.
I wasnt been selfish Dutch I loved being in the north stand The junior also loved being in the north stand Right or wrong it really wasnt such a big change for me and others I wouldnt want to go back to the east stand BUT if it ever comes to that in the future i would go back. As long as the no concessions came back
But your were being selfish Filey. You supported the move for your own personal reasons as you've just said. I opposed for my own reasons, which included the points I raised at the time, which included that it would be a backward step for atmosphere, and lead to problems in the future.
Look Dutch Im NOT going to argue with you . We are ALL united now with this no concessions crap Thats the most important thing right now If i was right or wrong in your opinion before so be it. If we ever get moved back to the east stand i will go back to e1 Though i prefer N4 Just bring the concessions back and i will be over the moon
At least Filey has admitted his unconditional support for Allam was on reflection mistaken. Unlike some.
I didn't... And I didn't throw tennis balls at Bolton....or join in the coffin march !! i just wish everyone would just grow up.....I have never heard and seen so much childishness in all my life from both the owners and fans.....and I have 3 kids and 2 grandkids !! If all that hot air and energy was spent getting behind the lads on a match day then maybe we might actually do even better !!
You're aware the seats on the halfway line at most clubs have no concessions right? As has been the case at the KC since it opened.
Like I said I respect other people's views and opinions, this forum is not the place for fair discussion and debate, as your final comment demonstrates, it's ironic that people who criticise the Allams autocratic approach, are the same people who abuse and bully individuals who dare to have a different perspective on what's important from themselves. Your not really any different to what you accuse Allam of being. If you read my post I said I disagreed with children's increases, but you forgot to mention all the working people who can now afford to go due to the changes its swings and roundabouts.
What in East Stand? No I didnt know that. And i dont know owt else about Soton which is why i was asking Tom
I've never said it was brilliant, I was pointing out there are many sides to this issue, which is what debate is supposed to be about, I've dared to put an alternative perspective, and already been called a b******
Pensioners on the halfway line in the east stand at the KC have had concessions since the stadium opened. They don't get them next year.
