" They dont have a bloody clue "

Wed Apr 29, 2015 7:03 pm

Some of the reading on here is so out of touch and quite comical
where to start hmmmm

Been reading people saying the beer and food at the ground should be better and cheaper

Well the club gave the rights to the catering and bars away for 20 years (for how much £££ )
Tan has tried to buy them out but they wont sell
now if tan cant afford to buy them out ,how much are they making
let me give a little example of what could have been.

The other day there was a judgement day rugby thing on in Cardiff ,and tickets were £10 for the day which included both matches ,it was attended by 55 thousand fans ,quite clever really getting 35k hungry thirsty buggers in the ground all day ,spending loads of money ,wonder how much they took from the bars and catering ££££ , I bet they made more from those sales than they did on the gate receipts .
Now down at the ccs it doesn't matter how many beers are sold or how many pies ,burgers and hot dogs or chips ,or cokes the benefit to the club is zilch .
another big topic is the football on offer ,

I cant get my head around people saying Slade is useless and clueless ,but when he rightly (imo)says top 6 is our aim next season, thinks its not good enough,and he should be aiming for autos ,well I would not expect a useless clueless manager to get automatics .

Some on here say they could put up with losing if the style of play was better ,(what a load shit ) these are the same ones saying to get more season tickets sold we must have a more succesfull team .
then theres those calling for cheaper tickets ,2 adults and 2 kids can have a season ticket for £699 in the family stand ,is the family stand sold out yet, if not why not .

Some idiot said today on here kids should only be allowed in the family stand ,WHY , my 8 year old grandson has been a season ticket holder in the ninian stand for 4 years he took over his dads seat who now works abroad ,he had it as like me since the stadium opened .that's a good way of looking after our future supporters ,and I know many kids in the ninian don't want to be in the family stand .


Some on here complain theres been no improvement ,yet we were in 17th when slade took over a oversized squad ,which he had to reduce ,and reduce he did ,at the same time reducing wages by 12 million yes that's 12 millon ,and kept us in this division comfortably,some one said to me before the blackpool game no matter what the result today slade cant win ,if we win 3 or 4 nil it will be well its only blackpool ,if we lose or draw he will get murdered ,is this really what our club.


Supporters have become ,spoilt on recent successes,spoilt on recent spending ,and a hatred for tan so much that we cant support anything that tan has been involved in ,ie the choosing of slade ,yes I hated the rebrand as those that really know me know ,but its in the past ,its part of OUR HISTORY now ,its time for all the hatred and negativity to stop ,we must all pull together to get our great club back ,its time to unite, fans, players, owner ,manager and coaches we must be of one :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

We get 20% over a certain figure.

When we were in the Prem and going up, we made the target every home game :thumbright: :thumbright:

We have not made it once this season,so we have earned Zero from the catering. :shock:

Re: they dont have a bloody clue

Wed Apr 29, 2015 11:04 pm

The pints are bloody awful watered down shite like the POW. Don't have a problem with it as I won't buy from the CCS. If fans boycotted then maybe something would be done but they don't. So those that buy enjoy your over priced piss water.
On Slade he said he hoped for a top 6 finish !! But hold the front page there, fans weren't well that isn't very optimistic they were like laughing at the thought of him achieving it :laughing6:

Re: they dont have a bloody clue

Couldn't give a shit what the larger tastes like personally, just want to bounce around and make an atmosphere not worry about the price of catering

Re: " They dont have a bloody clue "

Thu Apr 30, 2015 1:01 pm

I cant get my head around people saying Slade is useless and clueless ,but when he rightly (imo)says top 6 is our aim next season, thinks its not good enough,and he should be aiming for autos ,well I would not expect a useless clueless manager to get automatics .


If Slade is in charge I would take staying up, that's his target from me.

food and drink in the stadium is very expensive and of rock bottom quality, and thats pretty much across the board in the UK.

just have a pint or two before the game or get a mcdonalds after.

Apparently Forest Green Is the best. Badger burgers which are all veggie!

Out of all the points I've raised above the only comments on here have been about the catering
Maybe we've missed the reason season tickets are not selling :lol: :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

Re: " They dont have a bloody clue "

Fri May 01, 2015 3:29 pm

It was originally 10% over a certain figure, whether that has been increased I don' think so but cannot say for certain, as for the beer, any decent barman can keep a good pint, but it seems that we do not have one of those. As for Vt trying to buy them out he has tried on numerous occasions, and the money they would want would be crazy, as they have another 5 years left to money grab as they have the rights for all catering whatever event is there.
As for the comment about Slade, do you not think that the football is a lot better ( still not good enough) since trollpoe arrived?

Re: " They dont have a bloody clue "

Fri May 01, 2015 4:32 pm

Re style of play - (not bothered about the beer personally. Im normaly well oiled when i arrive at 2.58 :roll: )

I can stand boring play if we're winning (malky) or at least commited (lawrence/may)
I can stand losing if we're attacking ( jones)

I cant stand boring, uncommited, losing, uninspired, turgid football. (Slade)
