ZiggyPiggy 0 Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks for that, your assumption of ignorance is misplaced, but I accept it is the pink-un way that if you don''t agree or the point made wasn''t explained in a way that was clear to another poster, you''re asterisk-sworn at and assumed stupid. I am very aware of the fact that £11 per month is a lot of money to a lot of people, as my previous post pointed out, I just wish that everyone was the same as me in cutting out every single other possible outlay of expenditure before ncfc. I have very close friends who are struggling to get a job at the moment despite being extremely employable.And I feel for you about your gas bill, was it because there were lots of estimated readings and then they suddenly came and read the meter? Because you could threaten to write to http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/ they were formerly Energy Watch, and demand really favourable repayment terms in this case, as it''s not solely your fault that the meter wasn''t read. You can normally get a payment plan set up over 24 months for that type of circumstances. Or maybe you just used a lot of gas.Sorry if I offended anyone by coming across as if I have loadsamoney. I don''t, and if despite the fact you budgeted to not have that money over the next year, you are now in a situation where you need to recoup it, then it was a sensible decision to take the money back and you should not be ''ashamed'' to not think like a yellowandgreen tinted sunglasses numpty like me.

Who the hell are you,your no one!!!,to say we should hang our heads in shame is pathetic, We are where we are because of the board and it''s mistakes and i have taken my rebate not because i need the money because i''m in the lucky situation of not needing it but because i want the board to take note of my anger and the letter i posted with the rebate forms explained my feelings,don''t you dare turn the blame onto the brilliant fans of this club for the boards failings, without us this club will die and if we don''t let the board feel our hurt we might as well give up now!!!And you last line about £11 a month isn''t going to help anyone is crap,some fans might need that extra money per month to help them with anything from School lunch money for kids to helping paying household bills,how dare you presume that the rebate money is not needed by some you ignorant ....!!!!!

SNAP 0 Posted June 25, 2009 Quite simply, if the club had not asked for the 2009/10 season ticket money until after he end of the last season and, "Oh, by he way, we want he same price as last year" how would you have felt then. Division Three prices are not the same as Division Two. Also, does Seat0123 think that a swift return to Division Two would not result in an immediate price hike - of course they would - so why shouldn''t it work the other way round?

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted June 25, 2009 Another point is that a lot of us feel we have paid way over the odds for third rate rubbish over several seasons now, and so when given the chance of a rebate we will bite their hands off to claim it. Third Division and third rate football = lower prices. Simples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inch High aka Inchy.. 405 Posted June 25, 2009 Hooray, here we go. This is exactly the aim of the rebate excercise, put the fans against each other and deflect the problem away from our disasterous board. Congratulations seat whatever it is, you fell for it hook line and sinker.Since when did any teams player budget become the responsibility of the fans? You see they have shifted the blame nicely away from themselves and onto season ticket holders and Mr Foulger comes out looking like a local hero.Now say everybody left their rebate with the club and Mr Foulger matched it(which I always doubted) then why is he not just putting that in anyway and showing he deserves his place on the board? I''ll tell you why, because he never intended matching all of it in the first place, it''s just another massive piece of bull turd from our delightful board of directors.
