nufc4eva Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 It's pushed me over the edge. I was already f***ed off with the season/pardew etc but this is it for me. It just demonstrates utter contempt for the club. Thing is we will still get 45/50k on a match day so ashley wont give a f*** This is how I feel, end of the line, phoning up today to see what my options are in cancelling season ticket, put up with so much shit but can't bare this anymore, bairn on the way and prefer to spend my money and time on that than this shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 So, what is it you people want to see? Crowds of 10-15k? Our team playing to an empty stadium? Honestly, sort yourselves out. There's still a football team at the bottom of this, a team that will need our support now more than ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still a football team at the bottom of this, a team that will need our support now more than ever. Yes but have you not seen enough shit, I have had my season ticket for 23 year and what have I seen in last 10 for it - fuck all apart from the club being dragged through the mud, players with no heart, management that are cunts of the highest order (Except Hughton/Keegan), nothing that resembles football the majority of that time, no real progression as a club. One step forward, two back. Just generally had enough of this circus and want out. There will be a lot that feel the same, it ruins a good drinking session going to the match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may well be a team at the bottom of this but you won't see any change without direct action. An organised fan group that could mobilise support and campaign against the current regime would be a start.

Again I'm not telling people what they should and shouldnt do, but I personally wont be buying tickets. And its not an unfair assumption that the only way Ashley will change anything is if he sees a dip in attendances. Not sure why you taking it so badly. I'm not criticising anyone that goes to games merely illustrating the point of how change could come about. My brother is a season ticket holder has been for over 20 years, and he will still go as he says "it's my club, not Ashleys". Thats fair enough. I've been going to nufc games since I was 5 years old. Whether I have a season ticket or not is irrelevant, I don't live local and go to as many games as money allows. If its point scoring exercise on your part, then you've wasted your time., I assumed that, seeing as how you found my post so humorous, you were of a different opinion.

Unless I'm mistaken, vastly reduced crowds or even an empty stadium, would be a direct result of this kind of action. !0/15k crowds/empty stadium is that what people want to see? "honestly sort yourselves out" pretty hyperbolic in nature. People merely suggested the only way to make Ashley change his mind is stop giving him money and buying tickets.An empty stadium is a bit of a stretch. why do people need to "sort themselves out"? because they happen to want to change at the club and see non attendance as a way of achieving it and you dont? Are we telling people how to "support" their team here? I've suggested a fan group with a strong plan and organisational structure who can communicate with the club/media and try to change things. its that or dont go to games. Or the alternative is we continue to let Ashley drag the club through the mud lurching from one crisis to the next. So, to be clear: stop going to games, stop giving him money, just make sure that not everyone does it. Because an empty stadium is a bit much. I said that people need to sort themselves out because it'd ultimately be counter productive, and there will always be 11 players on the pitch who require our support. That's why I go to games, and pay money for a season ticket. It's pretty obvious, by, now, that those with power at the club could not care less about what we think. No amount of protest will change that. We need a new approach. What that is, I have no fucking idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Because the love football and following NUFC is a massive part of their lives. Fair play to people who decide to stay away but I can't expect that of anyone. I bet they love their foreign holidays too, but you can bet your mortgage that they would scream blue murder and demand compo if they were given a duff room or left stranded at the airport for 3 days... Both holidays and STs are a choice buy - and if fans are prepared to bend over and be screwed by the club and its malevolent owner, they deserve all they get ; many of us refused to do that when SJH was trying to oust the old board and in the end, it worked. Love for the club was no excuse - nobody lies punishing their children but it has to be done...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Of course. The club will knock out £5 tickets for bairns/£10 adults and, as much as I love to see young'uns going to their first game, parents won't pass it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a nutshell if you cancel you will not be refunded the 4 payments took so far (mine being 4x £43)... If you decided to restart payments then previous pavements will be taken into account and still taken from balance... But more interestingly I asked if the money could be left and used for a end of season part season ticket if one is brought out and they said yes... So I'm thinking cancel now... Miss the first two thirds of season and then if they release a mini season ticket try and claw back some value out of the £172 back... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
