Some muppet however got the URL of supporters direct wrong I tell you, you just cant get the staff these days. It should have been http://www.supporters-direct.org

And a fair enough argument from Mr Bird. I know that I personally would resent the fact Ive signed up for three years and gained nothing over those that cancelled, especially as Im now paying for next seasons ticket regardless of what league we'll be playing in. Those that arent showing that loyalty because they just want out shouldnt be entitled to the same discount as those of us that are staying and supporting the lads.

I said toontastic and nusc.org.uk

I assume you're getting Midds mixed up with someone else

Heres a novelty, me sort of sticking up for the club I agree totally that those who cancelled their agreements should pay the difference back, what about the other 93% of ST holders who either didnt enter the agreement at all and therefore paid about £50 more than these people (for the same shower of shite on the pitch) or that have honoured the agreement and already started paying for next years Championship ticket? These people only got the discount because they agreed to purchase more tickets, if they arent going to uphold their side of the bargain (totally understandably tbh) then the club shouldnt be expected to cover the difference.

They might have well have just asked 1 question only. How can we get you to buy more merchandise? 1. Lower the price 2. Make it shinier 3. Send you a begging letter 4. Splash the words "Sports Direct" in big letters across the top of the Gallowgate end.

My auld mans a dustman, he a wears a dustmans 'at, he wears gor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat heyyyyyyy.

A film? The total scumbag that shes just married must be laughing all the way to the bank.

any old irony any old irony any any any old iiiiiiiiiiirony

Fairly nailed on seeing as how he exposed Llambias's total and utter lie about who bought him.

clueless

Nice one you two, congratulations on little Pud..... Im assuming thats going to be his name..

Its pretty boring to be honest, theres nowt going on at the moment. I logged out after 5 minutes.

Actually, I do 100% What Im saying about the email though is thats the only way we have to legitimetly gauge the members views on stuff we put out, their email responses. Debating it here is one thing but its those emails we would use to gauge the success and currently its 100%

You know what? you're right. We'll stop pointing out the things they do wrong and let them just get on with fucking the club up. Meanwhile we'll do the other stuff, plan relegation parties, make sure we have member nights setup for the end of January and September so that people can just get bladdered rather than worry about who we've sold and not bought. No matter how many times you say it on here, I will reitterate.... all the facts point towards this being anything but a derailment for the NUSC. The members and the general fans are more interested in the stuff said than how it was said. Again though, out of interest, why havent you replied to your email to tell us you disagree?

yup.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/7929823.stm Fucking pikeys. I think however that its fairly safe to say that the victim and suspect were related, brother shags sister, has kid, shags cousin, has kid, shags mother....etc etc

QFT At the time I argued with you LM that anything was better than Shepherd, however I've already admitted that I was totally wrong. In hindsight no fan could honestly say they would accept MA now. My question would be though, do you think that if hindsight existed, would Shepherd and Hall have sold their stakes to MA and unfortunately I think they still would.

I would say that they are not hard to measure at all, they are however a lot easier for me to measure than you and from what I am seeing, the current membership are happy with it. As for those that arent members, again I think your "statistics" are incorrect. There are 4 camps as far as the NUSC are concerned. (all of the following are based on my personal beliefs from what Im seeing and hearing) 1. Members - nuff said on that one. 2. Not members but are borderline, either not sure whether to join and giving it time, not keen on paying (at least until they see what we have done with the money raised so far) or happy to join but just havent yet got round to it. These people will not be hugely swayed either way, they are happy to see we got a meeting and shocked by the content. As far as they are concerned we are working away doing the things we said we would but sometimes we say or do things that they think "ouch" and it puts them back another go. From the signup stats I think these havent changed, our sign ups have been along the same numbers per day as they would normally. 3. Those against the NUSC - These are the N-O type group who constantly snipe and dig at the organisation, the people who had no intention of joining anyway and therefore are not swayed by this, no loss there, we werent going to recruit them in the near future and that hasnt changed. What has changed however is the group of people who do believe that the current club directors are hard done by and misrepresented. Some of these will have seen the article and now have doubt in their minds. Job done there then, whether they join NUSC or not, Im happy in the thought that some people may now be starting to question stuff they hadnt before. 4. Those not on the internet (or at least not reading TT, N-O, Ryders blog, etc) these actually make up a much bigger group than us on the internet believe, there is actually a large number of fans who still do not know about all this stuff. In these cases the information about the meeting will filter through over time because people in the pubs and clubs etc talk about that stuff. Topics such as "did you hear about Llambias saying Bassong was a Wise buy and Sebastian confirming he was KKs?" etc are topics talked about but generally not "did you hear about how that NUSC bloke spoke at the meeting with DL?". In these cases, awareness will be raised about the NUSC and the work being done, another good thing. You, I and everyone else knows that last statement of yours is pure and utter drivel though "I dont know if you genuinely cant see this or whether you are just being going along with the current leadership. Whichever it is, its a very sad state of affairs for the true fans of NUFC." The sad state of affairs for the true fans of NUFC is only the stuff that goes on at the club, the displays on the pitch and the shite in the boardrooms (and now the fact that the local rag appears to want to hide that). The fact someone spoke out of turn (in the face of quite harsh adversity) at a meeting that only existed because of this person and his group is not a sad state of affairs for the "true fan" at all and that is clearly proven by the responses to the blog. Out of interest, how come I havent got an email reply from you telling us this? Its no good just coming on here and saying it, we need the responses from members (as those I quoted before have done.) directly otherwise how can we gauge it?

Just to come back to this and especially the bit in bold. I have checked the email address that it was sent from and there have been 22 replies from members. Every one (and I mean every single one) is clear in its praise of the article and what was achieved there. There are zero emails telling us that we've cocked up or that they dont agree with the tone. And before you say that people obviously dont tell us when they dont agree then believe me when I say that they do! I wouldnt attempt to make out that we havent had stick in the past from members quite rightly not happy with the content or tone of previous things because to do that would be a downright lie. We have and quite rightly, these people support the SC and have a say in whats done, yes theyve entrusted the current committee to carry out the day to day running of it until the elections in the Summer but they will still shout when they dont agree it. Dont get me wrong, I believe that in hindsight the email could have been worded better and I think that we all whenever dealing with the club / press etc need to keep a calm head and not get dragged into things. What I dont think is that this has caused us any problems. The fan on the street is more interested in the content than the tone.

concerts

He wasnt happy when somebody said "Shay Given"

well thats the end of Bassongs toon career *now then if only we can get Shola to tell the world that Kinnear is shite

That used to be absolutely class, from The Corner all you'd see would be a side on view of a mass of waving arms. Always got a great view of it from the Scoreboard......you Corner wanker!
