Bring back the casual supporters and make the club find more inventive ways of raising money other than by bleeding it''s ''audience''.It will all eventually collapse around the ears of those who led football down this road... and those who have allowed themselves to be mugged by it.[/quote] You mean that lot who don''t even stay to the end of the game?

nutty nigel 7,537 Posted February 15, 2011 This is the Pink Un Messageboard at it''s finest. Not only do posters know best about how you should support the club and when you should withdraw that support but now, because the teams doing well, we can all learn how we should spend our money and how we should bring our children up. At least I now feel better about those family holidays camping at Costessey Pits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruddygore 0 Posted February 15, 2011 Love it when people tell me how to spend my money. Where were they when I was earning it? Did they offer their help then? Nooooooooooooo.Big Society, what it''s about is paying more for less. Inflation up, direct taxes, up, services down. Politicians are good like that, remember care in the community? Remember who took that big society away? When we all left our doors unlocked, when the milkman used to keep an eye on people taking in their milk, how the postie used to know your name. When families looked after their elderly. When the Govt. didn''t steal all your belongings when your gran needed care? Remember when you were a kid and you chucked your sweet wrapper on the pavement and an adult would ask you to pick it up without you giving them a gobfull of abuse, or worse still - their parents wouldn''t? Well David Cameron wants us to do all that again because he''s going to spend all our money on other things like fat bankers bonuses and bailing them all out when they have a tough year.Anyway, it''s something like that.Meanwhile, while I''ve still got it I''ll spend my money on me and my family, on what I want not what some banker tells me I should, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
