Blimey, I know two of them!Bonus [;)]

Err...The Jarrold hasn''t been open for 10 years?[8-)]

His middle name is Maurice - that scans.[:)]

Yeah, well the ''weight'' thing dragged on a bit before so I thought I''d get it over and done with [:P]

Crumble and sauce.Wow - this is a good one![;)]

I will Destort, thanks [;)]And what is it with you lot? Last week you wanted to know what I weighed, this week it''s how old I am! Jeez, can''t a 40 year old woman have any secrets anymore???Doh![H]

Monkey, you''re Evil![:P]

I feel sick.[+o(]

You have no idea how difficult it was for me to type Boadicea as opposed to Boudicca!Typical men - have to make life awkward...

In which case, much power to you [;)]But wouldn''t you be Daughters of Boadicea?

You''re a good man![;)]

Demand that they renew it SoB![;)]

[quote user="Beauseant"][quote user="LQ"]I really don''t get that - all I do is type?As I''ve said before it''s usually with a smile on my face and a spring in my step but perhaps because very few of you have met me it doesn''t come across that way. I try to talk in facts about things that demand factual answers and I admit I can be verbose but that''s not my fault. I blame the education system!Maybe I''m too sarcastic? But plenty of others on here are too?I dunno.Takes all sorts and all that... [/quote]   I think its something that goes with the territory of posting on a forum. I used to get infuriated by Smudger''s forum persona until I met him and found that he''s actually a nice lad. I''m not making a judgement on you as a person, because I don''t know you; I''m just trying to explain how you sometimes come across. Having said that, we all have a snipe now and again! I think the problem is that this is such an emotive and polarising issue that we''re all a bit "hyper" at present[:D] [/quote]Point taken - thank you.[;)]

[quote user="Mello Yello"][quote user="LQ"]No, you can assume that after trawling the net for ten I had other things to do!If someone wants to check out the other clubs then great, I''d welcome it. But I think from the size of clubs I''ve looked at it''s a reasonable sample.If the other 13 come in at less I''d be stunned. [/quote] Why don''t you do a ''shakers and movers'' and relocate to a more expensive seat then?...If you think that STs are way too cheap at Carra? [/quote]I tried that but there weren''t any better seats available![:P]

[quote user="Branston Pickle"]As seems often the case LQ, I tend to agree with you - people have rather underestimated what League 1 football costs, as if there is a scaling down of entry fees as you go down the leagues.  I have to say that this is definitely not the case, at least not so you''d notice.  For example, AFC Wimbledon is my most local decent non league side, just promoted into the Blue Square Premier (they play at and share the Kingstonian ground): their Terrace season ticket for next season is £200 with an "optional £50 donation".  I''ve been there plenty of times and the terrace is pretty crap, so the next one up is Main Stand at £260 + "optional £50 donation".  That is a suggested price of either £250 or £310 for the equivalent of my season ticket that would have been £290 if I had taken the rebate, £366 had I not.   [/quote]A very good friend of mine is an AFC Wimbledon fan. He lives in Spain now and sends the club £250 a year because he can''t get to games to hold a season ticket!I should tell him to buy one and lend it to you for when you fancy a local fix [;)]

Thanks Branston - thought I was losing my marbles for a minute there!I was sure they''d said something that meant they knew ''something'' and I didn''t think I was being sarcastic by mentioning it.

Here you go (I posted all this info a few weeks ago but a refresh seems appropriate):These are the prices for equivalent seats to mine at Carrow Road -Leeds Utd -  ST £646Charlton Athletic - ST £425Millwall - ST £425Northampton Town - ST £410Huddersfield - ST £379Cheltenham Town - ST £371Carlisle Utd - ST £360Leyton Orient - ST £325Stockport County - ST £322Swindon Town -  ST £305.20My seat cost £377 but with the rebate it would be £301.60. To me that''s ''cheap'', but to me, looking at these figures £377 is also fairly cheap.I''ve said previously today that if people took their rebate because of the financial climate then that''s very understandable. However the cost of League One football may be being underestimated by some fans AND may have been previously by whoever set the prices. I don''t know. What would you prefer? a half empty Carrow Road or an almost full Carrow Road? It''s not an easy decision and it is very emotive but the prices charged by other League One clubs are fact.

[quote user="TIL 1010"][quote user="LQ"]That''s because shareholders have a vested financial interest in the business in which they hold shares! [/quote] This particular hymnsheet seems to suggest that football club shareholders are in it for the money.That is nonsense Lisa. [/quote]No John.The point is that ever shareholder has made a financial gesture to this club and it is in their interests that it succeeds in football terms because that makes the whole issue make sense.What does failure achieve? Nothing for anyone.

Do you know what John, I could bypass all this if it wasn''t so creepy.You continually pick up on anything I say, whether it relates to you or not, and drag me back into things. It''s actually a bit scary.Wizard and WAY have, on numerous occassions, alluded to the fact that they knew something about how Michael Foulger was able to make this offer now as opposed to 6 months ago. Plenty of people have read that and as far as I can tell they have PM''d numerous people with their info. I didn''t ask for the PM and I have no idea what they''ve said - other than that they know the reason.What the hell is the problem with saying that?Yes, I do find you worrying.

[quote user="Michael Bates"]I am not going to mention their names but two of my managers have been made redundant today. Both managers for the catering side of things. Great shame to see them go, especially one who hadn''t been there more than a year. But i guess it is reality that in this economics climate people are to lose their jobs.[/quote]Sorry to hear that Michael.Best of luck to them.

Since when did ''succeed'' mean financial gain in football terms, John?You''re singing off a completely different hymnsheet I''m afraid.

I couldn''t agree more!Bring on someone with some nous about the business and some dosh to follow it up and I''ll be happy as Larry!(and p.s. I always thought it would be about 50/50 so I was 13% off and so was the St Andrews do [;)] )

Wizard and WAY know the answer to this.I think they may even have PM''d others with the info!
