He’s simply joined the fuck nugget club on here that decide it’s the fans fault when the team are rancid. Will just switch him off in future.

Every owner and manager for years now has mentioned the culture of negativity that holds our club back.. What has been the one constant in that time?

This is the kind of comment that probably winds him up. He genuinely thought safc fans just wanted to be reconnected with the club and have players who gave it their all. Now we do have that but some (not all) fans still moan and don't get behind the team because we're not winning matches easily.

The last year has opened my eyes to a rather insidious element of our support like. It’s a minority buts it’s quite sizeable.

These people don’t deserve to have a well run, financially secure club with open and transparent owners. We could do without these “fans”.

Not sure what you’re constantly banging on about in this thread.

Unless I’ve missed something, there’s not many going on about that. It’s about the dig on attendance that has rankled

Absolutely. The comparison between a hop across London and a near 300 mile trip 6 weeks after the other one and after selling out just about every away game was poor.

We can't do without them at all. For one we need their income and two; in large gatherings of people there will be some you don't agree with/may not like. Some may feel that way about yourself.

I’ll honestly be surprised if the moaning fuckers have put a penny into the club, if they do attend matches they’re probably the ones grumbling if someone misplaces a pass and getting on the players backs.

I’d rather have 30k there giving encouragement than 40k there that includes 10k whingeing and moaning their way through 90 minutes.

The owners wouldn't though. As I say, there's plenty there I probably don't particularly care for but I can't say they don't deserve a well-run club. They've as much right to be there as me or anyone else.

And again, what has that go to do with his attendance dig?

He mentioned we were quiet at Wembley. I’m not disputing or complaining about that. I can’t see many on the thread

It’s his comment about size of club / attendance that has got peoples back up

Methven was out of order with his comment. That’s not even for discussion.

There is an element of our support that is extremely negative and it doesn’t take much for them to walk away.

Our hardcore support though, are f***ing brilliant. It should never be forgotten that when everything looked fucked, 16000 of us still renewed season cards.

In your opinion!! Perhaps he was angry because they had potential investors present at Wembley, and they had been bragging how brilliant we are, and it turned out we were quiet as mice and thr investors walked away.. Loads of opinions, but doesn't mean that one particular one is right..

What you constantly rattling on about. I keep telling you I’m not on about the noise. Although I love your theory. Cool story :lol:

I’m on about his attendance comment which I’ve quoted a few times in this thread.

Your comments yes, but the thread has developed and expanded where the atmosphere has been mentioned ..

So hang on...

Our fans have broken the average league attendance record, broken the single game record, took 75k to Wembley covering 1200 miles in less than 2 month, took 8k to Blackpool, have sold so many away tickets clubs have had to move their own St holders to fit us in, and nearly every clubs highest attendance this season is when we have visited but a potential new owner, who could make millions by buying us, who came to Wembley, has changed their mind because we didn't sing enough?

Exactly how I feel mate. 40 years a supporter. 30+ as a season ticket holder. My wife and kids now season ticket holders. I certainly don't go to keep Charlie happy. He should apologise in my opinion or at least attempt to justify his pathetic comments. I'd love to know what Stewart Donald thinks. If my business partner came out with that after all the good and hard work I'd be furious.

The guys a slimeball, Donald will have had him figured out years ago. If you're a millionaire though I'd imagine he's a fairly useful guy to keep around though.
