Quote ="broadrhino1"Is it just me or, so far, is there little to encourage me to buy a season ticket for next year?
1) The squad is the same as last season bar Cuthbertson (up to now, with 3 out and 1 in - and uncertainty surrounding Aiton)
2) Home games last year were, by and large, pretty dull.
3) The new shirt is nothing special and the prices have gone up again (with a name and number you're talking £60+)
4) Festive Challenge tickets (and no doubt pre-season friendly tickets) are over-priced.
5) The South Stand beer is both expensive and awful.
Looking at the above I think I've talked myself into picking and choosing the games I'll attend next year.
Am I being a negative old fart or do I have a point?'"
1) If new signings is all you care about, jog on to football. There is plenty of new signings, twice a year in fact that should capture your attention span.
2) If you drank less at games, maybe you could concentrate more on the on field action.
3) The shirt a team plays in influences your season ticket decision? Then why don't you just support a different team each year based on who's shirt you think is the besterest!!! Then you will never be disappointed.
4) This has nothing to do with the regular season. This point is redundant.
5) Stop drinking at the ground then, you might be able to concentrate on the rugby that's going on in front of your face.
Southstander.com is becoming a place of moaning old farts so you fit in perfectly. Why bother picking and choosing your games at all? Just don't go and watch from your armchair while drinking cheap beer and shouting at the telly "t'wer better in my day!" "call that a shirt" "why's he still playing he's crap?" Sound's like you'll have much more fun.
