It looks like Rangers could be about to go back into administration, I wonder if Ashley will make his move ?

The move may also see Alan Pardew’s Magpies head to League One Latics for a pre-season friendly and could no doubt open the door for a relationship between the clubs that may see some of the Toon’s younger players lent out to gain valuable experience.

It's frustrating when you hear about Villa apparently getting a takeover this summer. We don't get a sniff.

Doesn't matter what anybody says, the only way to get him or Pardew out is not to attend and force his hand. After 40 year of being a season ticket holder I am not renewing as I refuse to have this regime taking the piss out of me time after time. I will be back when this occurs but to all of you supporters who are on here who are calling him and yet still going to the match, then I'm sorry but there is no way he is going if you are still attending. The only way to force him out is by not attending on mass and I'm prepared to miss out for a period of time until this happens. Some might not like this but for all you people still renewing then ultimately you're helping to keep him at the club.

I'm regretting the decision to renew more and more every day. Wish I'd jacked it in and bought a season ticket for Gateshead or just followed the Northern League about.

 

First time in my life I've got the money and time to have a season ticket (for me and the bairn) and I refuse to do it till Ashley leaves or starts acting like the club matters.

 

I personally hope no one renews and we drop out of the division again forcing the cunt out completely this time. No support in the championship and he's got no income at all.

Interesting to see how many turn up next season if/when we have another s*** transfer window.

 

About 52,000 I'd guess.

Surely the attendances will take a hit of some sort. So many stories of long-timers jacking it in.

I was shocked to hear how many from work have packed in after this season.  People who have been going for decades have said enough is enough.  So far 12 out of 12 that I have spoken to have season tickets but not after the Cardiff game.  I don't remember knowing so many who have packed in during such a short period of time and I hope it's typical of our season ticket holders.

Even if say 4 or 5 thousand season ticket holders jacked it in, they'll be easily replaced by the offer of a good deal through a fairly standard advertising campaign.

And say the attendances did drop to around 45-odd thousand, nobody is really going to bat an eyelid about it in reality

Ashley will most certainly bat an eyelid.  Season ticket revenue is guaranteed income for the club.  You lose a big chunk of that and even if it's replaced by single ticket purchases he has a problem.  While a season ticket is cheaper per game than single tickets it's also not dependent on team performance or supporter sentiment towards the club and regime. 

 

You lose 10k season tickets then you have to convince 10k people to actively go out and buy a ticket to replace them and the only ways he can do that are to get some decent performances on the pitch (:lol:) or drop prices, losing money.

 

There's a massive difference in terms of resistance to the regime also.  If someone were to organise a boycoutt it's much easier to convince people not to spend money and attend than to convince them not to take advantage of something they've already paid for.

 

Even 5k season tickets down would make Ashley sit up and take notice.

The Family Enclosure will just expand again to take up the slack.

if he’s not going to go gracefully, or at all, i’d like to think he’d end up losing all of the money he ploughed into us somehow like
