Dodgy maths. 7% compound is more than 4 times profit relative to what the seat concession has been worth and remember that all board directors get their hospitality too. They even claim it on behalf of others who haven't bought any significant shares whilst denying ordinary fans who have bought more. In referring to themselves as 'ordinary fans' they need to prove it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps one free season ticket for every 20 years and I get to jump the queue for the binners away... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any season ticket holder should be entitled to a priority place in the Q relative to those who have been to no more than a handful of away games in the previous season.

So the shares are an anachronism that should be settled as they clearly can't include young people in the way that any living breathing scheme should. Beyond that season ticket ownership should be an important priority factor in determining ticket allocations for high priority matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming the replacement exists maybe they could make a Statement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much more deserving do you think D&M are? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see how that works relative to Zoe though as his salary base at Portsmouth must be much lower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
