ewerk 27277 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Don't be a thicket ----- Stop buying tickets Do you not think that if people stop going to games he'll just end up selling even more of the squad? Personally, that's what I think. So it's a catch-22 situation. I think he'll do that anyway tbh, if the right sort of offers come in. So do I, but I think it would be even worse if attendances declined dramatically. He sees NUFC as a vehicle for promoting SD to a global market and won’t sell unless A – He gets an offer equal to (or more than) the purchase price plus his loans, plus the value of the SD promotion. B – The club’s image has a negative effect when it comes to promoting SD. Option A probably works out in excess of £300m. So if we want him to fuck off soon making the club’s association with SD a negative is the only option. Bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Your Name Here Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 They've put the cheapest tickets for category C down to £16 for adults. Can’t see it making any difference. People are staying away because of FMA not the prices. Slowly but surely he’s pissing off everybody and as soon as the results start going against him it’ll be exodus time.

The Fish 9365 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 See I don't think people are staying away because of FMA. For every Newcastle Fan who has made a concious decision to forgo a matchday as a form of protest, there is a CT going to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every Newcastle Fan who has made a concious decision to forgo a matchday as a form of protest, there is a CT going to the ground. It’s not necessarily a form of protest, more a case of having had enough. For me the tipping point was appointing JFK, for some it will have been getting kicked out the LC, or selling Carroll and bullshitting about getting a new striker in. Some people are going to turn up to the Blackburn game look at the East stand and decide they’ve had enough. For as long as he’s here the attrition will continue. Nobody seriously thinks there isn’t another supporter pissing off event around the corner do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, the only place we can Ashley is his pocket... but many people paid for several seasons, meaning you can turn up or not turn up, he's already got your money. The only light at the end of this tunnel is another owner in the mould of Mansour or Abramovich. That's just not going to happen in this climate, I reckon.

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) See I don't think people are staying away because of FMA. For every Newcastle Fan who has made a concious decision to forgo a matchday as a form of protest, there is a CT going to the ground. All the people i know who've given up tickets and stopped going for the first time in their lives have all done it because of ashley, llambias and the succession of shit they've put us through. People have a breaking point and these two fuckwitts have found it in people that never believed they'd stop going. In the past we had some disasterous managers, spells of watching awful football but there was always the chance it would turn round and go somewhere, with ashley it won't and some people have had enough, and you can't blame them!

The three year deal ran out this summer and the numbers who signed again up must represent a very small percentage of match-goers. I’m in favour of action because we’re going to end up with a half empty ground anyway, might as well speed up the process and get this shitty era in the club’s history over with. FMA has the supporters playing catch up and by the time the trail of crumbs runs out NUFC is going to be a broken club. Then he’ll go and we’ll be left to pick up the pieces.

The Fish 9365 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Thing is, I can see our numbers dwindling to such a degree that one our big draws (our outstanding support) will no-longer exist. I'm just looking at our club and seeing us launching headlong into Wigan's model. Cheap seats, cheap players, cheap tat, cheap club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Again, yeah don't give *him* the money. But other than that I don't see the point. It's not like we need to encourage him to sell - we all know that he wants out regardless. Nor will it endear the club to potential new owners. And he'll never change his ways so to me it's kind of pointless. We protested a couple of years ago, he actually gave in under the pressure and put the club on the market. Ever since that short, sorry episode he's been even more tight with the £££ than he was before he tried to sell the club. They're not stupid, they know no-one likes them and the falling attendances are all the proof they need of this. There is no market as such.
