Iff youummmmm dont went them bleddy ferriners and outsiders sitting in or around your seat youd better re-book your season ticket.
Keep the bloodline pure, keep it insular and inbred, keep it within the 5,000 terminally tinted.

If this is the mentality of the core fan-base im done for good.

What he actually means is "Season ticket sales have been shit and Jamesy's lip is all of a quiver. He told me if I could get a few more sales I can drive him to Newport next season"

I will be suprised if they sell another season ticket now the property developer has revealed his ministand in a shopping mall pile of shite, brent and his rimmers will keep this club in the fourth division for years.

Apparently it's supply and demand SS. By having a reduced capacity more people will upgrade to a season ticket or membership for fear of being left out. In addition spare tickets become rarer and therefore more expensive. Brent understands that fewer people paying more are less hassle and crucially take up less space for the same revenue.

And there lies the proof in the pudding, having a limited capacity stadium with no room for upgrades means the club is free to cash in on supporter demand by charging what they want as they know those desperate enough to watch the team will pay it.

as Punchdrunk says if webb supports that then he shames the name socialism.

Punchdrunk.....football clubs are run as businesses.Harsh but true.Dunford said very much the same thing a few years ago when a new south stand was in the offing.."If you want to be sure of not missing any of the action next season then buy a season ticket".Its not socialism or toryism or UKIPism.Just basic economics.

your right football clubs are run like a business yes, however, if the business pisses off the customers there is no business end of.

some othet bugger will be sat in it next season, which is not a nice feeling.

Or, of course, if your seat was up the back of blocks 3 the season before last, some other bugger will be stood in front of it and when you spoke up about this you were told to move.

If this comes to fruition im done with it all for good,

I didn't make much of it at the time, though it jarred - it was a hurried conversation - but when I raised the issue of disability and leg-room in the new stand at the event in the Theatre Royal I received an interesting reply. I said that I had a damaged ankle following a recent break plus an old war wound to my knee (OK it's an old football injury incurred when making a ridiculously heroic save at the feet of an oncoming forward ). I was told simply to sit at the end of a row. That's hardly helpful when considering disability. I wonder what the recently published plans have to show about how such issues might be dealt with.

But his increased wealth will come from his developments not from the football club.

Let's face it, if this development actually goes ahead in its current form, he will get the increased wealth that he was so obviously seeking and the club will be condemned to struggle.

of course thats the case Knecht, and when he has completed his deals he will walk probably take a loss on the sale of the club because thanks to him and his greed we have no assets or anything to attract any decent owners other than local business men condemning us to the lower leagues for the rest of our days.

MOST football clubs are run as businesses. feck knows what you would call the procedure that Argyle have been following since Brent took the reins or the debacle that preceded him.

wonder what the renewal figures are ?
