Common Sense 0 Posted March 6, 2017 After over twenty years of having a ST I''ve decided most reluctantly not to review, mainly due to the how the club is being run.It''s my only little way of registering my feelings as emails to the club are just ignored.I nearly gave up last season but changed my mind when the club offered to sell me my ST in April at February''s prices. It''s the only time they have shown any interest in me as a supporter. Funny that when it comes down to money they show an interest ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greavsy 2,415 Posted March 6, 2017 @Common senseBut it hasn''t come down to money, as they could have sold your seat, to someone on the waiting list, for a higher price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings of a Sparrow 1,415 Posted March 6, 2017 It''s also a good music venue (as others will testify).Saw Penetration and Adam and the Ants there, among others, back in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crafty Canary 495 Posted March 6, 2017 [quote user="Jamie Witherspoon"]"You could have protests inside and outside the ground and it won''t mean a thing."Whatever happened to the revolutionary spirit, Crafty? You know, with those effigies you were going to burn...[/quote]I am resigned to the fact that it won''t make a blind bit of difference. She and MWJ have completely crushed my hopes for our club.

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,024 Posted March 6, 2017 As an aside, are all the people on the season ticket waiting list in groups wanting more than 1 seat?, the reason I ask is the chap that sits next to me handed his season ticket in weeks ago, and the seat has been empty ever since.........

Greavsy 2,415 Posted March 6, 2017 I think they must release them in waves, however if you are after a single I would think you''d get one quite quickly.Once you''ve got your ST you can move about, into other available seats, be those other singles, or part of a group.

JF 694 Posted March 6, 2017 As I have posted on another thread this morning, I''ve been told by a senior player that Alex Neil is here for the long term, it is the boards intentions that he oversees the rebuilding of the squad over the summer. This is the boards will and they are behind the manager 100%. Players will be leaving but the manager won''t Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Canary 704 Posted March 6, 2017 Saw Hawkwind there too Lord Horn - wow that was a while ago - I''d guess 1973?It was so loud I nearly got hit by a bus on the way out because I couldn''t hear it coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
