PhatCanary 0 Posted May 29, 2009 [quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="Ren"] Personally I do realise that it as an option, but I guess after 25 years I am in to deep. For all my moaning I do still enjoy my Saturdays supporting the club, more often than not the bit before 3pm and after 5pm, so I will stick with it for another year! Plus as I have been going so long we have some of the very best seats in the Barclay right behind the goal (above the bar), once I let them go, Ill probably never get them back!What are you doing for tickets next season Nutty? [/quote]You can keep the best seat mate because I''ve got the best standing position in the Barclay[;)] And I''m keeping it!!I''m not renewing my away ticket though. It''s become increasingly difficult to get away on a Saturday. I only got to 14 last season and only 4 of them were Saturdays. So I''ll be a "10 stub away fan" next season. But I''ll make every Tuesday night game, paint pot included!As for the rebate, I will consider it again when I finally receive the letter from the club. At the moment I''m still inclined to take it but I believe the Foulger thing has merit, but would have had more merit if it was something available to all fans. I do think that Foulger will be puting his share in regardless.Like you, I''m in way to deep to get out. We must be due another good season soon!

I have kept my AST, but mainly because there are 9 grounds that I have not done (I am a bit sad like that), and a lot of the others are in the South, so not to hard to get to. In all seriousness Ill put the £73 towards an away trip. NCFC have never refunded a single away ticket (unlike most clubs) after a really bad away performace (and as you know Nutty we have had loads of them), so I treat it as a refund for the rubbish last season (reason no 7 for my letter, lol!).

Clint 221 Posted May 29, 2009 How can you start a sentence with ''that isn''t true''......then follow it with ''and if it is''? If it isn''t true then surely there''s no possibility that it is?Also, why do you ''need'' the money for something now when its effectively not your money and there''s been no confirmation how and when you are going to get it? I pay by DD and assumed that I would have my monthly payments reduced as it doesn''t take a genious to work out that that is the most likely scenario.Contradictory statements, illogical thought process, dubious budgeting, have you thought about applying for the vacant role of CEO?

The Huckerby Delusion 0 Posted May 30, 2009 Got my letter this morning, and must admit I was fully planning on keeping my rebate, but this wonderful club of ours is now making me feel guilty for doing it. I can just imagine as we''re languishing in mid table come may the excuse being that "if only the fans had given more money back we could have kept Clingan or at the very least paid to get rid of Jon Otsemobor " GRR. 73 quid is no small amount, but I supose if Foulger speaks the truth, neither is 2million.

Mister Chops 7 Posted May 30, 2009 I am keeping my rebate.The basic facts: The current board have squandered millions in premiership funding, and millions in parachute paymentsWe have watched the team decline since 2004-5 to a point where we have 14 professional footballers on our books. None of them are very good.The board, having wasted millions of pounds, are now asking fans for a donation of £60-80ish each so they can give it to a manager I don''t support "to buy players with" - but will they really?I don''t trust them with my money.I will buy a season ticket and support my team on the pitch, but I will not help dig this appalling board of directors out of the hole they''ve sunk themselves into.

Canary Ascent 0 Posted May 30, 2009 I received my letter today and I like Ren''s idea. I will be using my rebate for an away trip! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silver fox 0 Posted May 30, 2009 Mr Foulger hasn''t convinced me to let him keep my money because I have no confidence that it will be spent wisely by the manager they have just re-appointed. I went for the share issue both times believing I was helping the club, and a few years down the line my reward is the prospect of third tier football next season.To convince the fans they wanted to do everything to get us back up, perhaps they should have said that all the board members would match the figure not claimed back, and the money would go into the playing fund. On this occasion I am going to ask for my money back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also I''ve spent over £900 on NCFC this year so I feel no guilt for having £70 back. Why should they make the fans feel guilty for the mess they have created?If people feel they want to give they money to the club then good for them and I sincerely hope it gets used wisely - but for me this has made me even more certain I''m going to keep it.

SNAP 0 Posted May 30, 2009 Whem we were in the Premiership they had Premiership money to play with - they wasted it by not investing enough of it for fear of relegation. Result - relegation.Parachute payments for two years - wasted by inept, cheap option managers. Result - relegation. So, now we are Div 3 and they want me to give them another £70 so they can do what? What lessons have they learned? None. Believe me that money won''t be going anywhere near a transfer kitty it will be used to pay off debts to keep the club afloat. Oh, they''ll dress it up somehow with the usual "undisclosed" transfer fees, talk of "agents fees" etc but the bulk will simply disappear into the bank. I''ll give them £70 at THE END OF THE SEASON willingly if the board wake up to the priorities needed by this club, starting with a manager who doesn''t look like a rabbit in the headlights everytime he is faced with making a technical footballing decision for which he has no qualifications or experience. I don''t even necesarily expect to see them promoted or in the playoffs - just to see some signs that they have the merest clue about what a mess their ineptitude has caused. I''ve even though how I''ll make the contribution. I''ll buy the minimum £120 of shares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted May 30, 2009 Letter arrived today. If you''re on a DD it gets adjusted from August.So, if you''re an adult sitting in the Barclay and are entitled to 20% back, your monthly repayments will be adjusted from August from £30.50 to £20.05.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,800 Posted May 30, 2009 I don''t know how Foulger can have the brass neck to think that people will be so gullible to fall for this.Why does he think that we will all of a sudden start sending money NOW when we haven''t as a championship club in any of the last 3/4 years, at a time when season tickets were at the higher price???. Its the fact that we haven''t spent money is the reason why we are where we are now.I haven''t even hesitated, filled the form out this morning and have just posted it.
