Spot on.

Oh dear another one of the usual suspects in agreeance with another shocker.
Even though that was not what was said or implied but don't let that stop you licking @r5e, you do it so well.

Just my opinion, you clearly don't like it.

Dreary my. We are doing really well ATM and yet the usual suspects still try to put a downer on us. Dear oh dear

Its you, every single post you have to comment on people been negative , even when nobody is been, you love calling yourself an happy clapper. Your just an annoyance

My opinion thanks

Aah, losing the argument so the personal insults start.

You said



Which - forgive me - isn't very well worded. You appear to say that had London and Bradford not had a worse season than us then [ipossibly[/i we could have been relegated. That is the same as saying that if we had a better season than Hull KR and Salford we'd possibly have finished ninth. We were only a point behind them two so you could even say that either of [ithose[/i could have 'possibly' have been relegated.

There was no condescending comments from me in the first place.

I can comprehend basic English (now that's condescending ).

Your comment of "Realistically relegation was a possibility" is a bit of paradox. Was it realistic we could have been relegated or was it merely a possibility.

Irrelevant really, as it was not a realistic situation. It was a possibility that any one of the teams in the league could have been relegated when the season started. It turned out to be London and Bradford that season. Hull ended up 12 points off the nearest relegated side. Therefore it was neither realistic or a genuine possibility with a month left of that season.

People like you have a glass which has never seen any liquid, let alone be only half empty. Still you pretend everything is doom and gloom.

HTH (oh, yes, now, that is very condescending, isn't it)

Does anyone have any data on how many swallows it takes to make a summer?

Isn't that a bit twee, considering you defended Bumpy and were in agreeance with him. It's what happens on this forum, you read a post and agree or in your case generally disagree. Up beat, downbeat???? No need for insults, name calling. A little bit of relaxation is required from both camps, we're all FC fans, supporters, aren't we???????

Indeed they are, but staging a concert is a little more costly than sticking a few posts up at either end of the ground?

Indeed, and, as above, the production costs are a lot higher

Agreed, and I wouldn't pay that either

"Top Flight", I think we're deluded if we think SL is anything other than a parochial local sport.

That's the problem, people put up with it so behaviour never changes.

As above, it's like motorway services, us Brits accept that the food is going to be rubbish but some still keep shelling out for it.

I look forward to reading more posts from EASTCOSTFC.

Is this Standee?

Decent catering? Is this the most snobbish RL post ever? Most people eat before going to an 8pm game, I certainly do.

And no, it's NOT expensive. Cinema is now around a tenner (and the catering is poor there, y'know) Football is £40 and over and nowhere near as entertaining.

Even when we have a "low" attendance, most clubs in the game would kill for a 9,000 gate, or even an 8,000. The club can work on getting more bums on seats with giveaway tickets, but the reality is that the team have to perform consistently to build that core-support to 12,000.

What I'm enjoying the most about this new Standee alias is that upon signing up he spelt his username incorrectly as "EASTCOSTFC", and now after I assume submitting a request to correct it with Admin, it's now "EASTCOATSTFC".

great spot

He might be from east hull, surname coats , and support fc. But then that would mean he spelt his surname wrong !

Maybe it's supposed to be "EASTCOATSTLC"


Takes old coats from the East and refurbishes them?
I missed Standee anyway, good to have him back!!!!!!!!!

I don't think £21 for an adult ticket bought individually is that expensive, however when kids are involved in your family unit it's not always easy to take them (cost) or maybe it's too late if they are young or indeed they'll get bored.
Justifying ££ when kids are involved and things are tight is a tough choice, you can do a whole day with the kids for £30 (bearing in mind £31 is an adult+ child ticket)
The atmosphere when we play great no matter how many turn up is good, when the place is rocking the feel good factor for the fans is brilliant. The derby wins, the Saints comeback, the Bradford playoff and a few more besides.
I think if the team keep producing the goods then slowly some fans will be more drawn to come back. Showing that we really are contenders and being able to replicate that next year with possibly some silverware will really heighten people's interest to maybe renew passes or at least attend more games.
It's down to Radford, the players and AP to make fans feel like they want to come and feel good at being entertained and it's VFM, not just out of loyalty

fair post bumpy

The answer to the OP's question is NO.

There will be very few Giants fans at this game.
Just thought i would get that in early before you start going on about the away support on Friday

We were talking about our stay away fans, Durham.
