Is anyone else getting p***ed off with all the whinging about the club?

All football fans moan.

We have though have had more cause than most over the years.

Do you remember the moaning over the open north stand.

That tight arse Bamber eh.

Are these the same season ticket holders that never sing or shout at home games, therefore making the atmosphere at Withdean shit?

I mean singing section indeed? I've heard more vocal singing at a mime artist's convention!

At least you can hear us in the Family Stand!

I must admit the noise from the Family Stand is excellent, even though the blowing of horns sometimes gets a bit annoying! There is singing where I sit but, unfortunately, interspersed by one or two people who can't resist moaning or picking on individual players to whinge about!

For the simple fact the club is a business.

The customers of the club are those fans that pay to watch a match at Withdean.

The most valuable customers are the ones that commit to all games.

Good business sense is that you look after your most valuable customers.

Therefore, the club has as good as said to STH's, you're as much value to us as fans that go to away games and give their money to our competitors. Hmmm, great bit of logic there.

And no, I'm not a disgruntled fan that didn't get a WH ticket. I have gor one, but I feel as though ALL STH should have been given first priority.

Fans come on hear and moan that they haven't got tickets for West Ham (IMO Season Ticket holders should get priority as we provide the money to the club).

They also moan about Dick Tight and lack of investment in the team, then say that they only go to away fixtures as the atmosphere is better and they can't get tickets at home games.

Well, it's about time all of you 'fans' who only go to away games, the more appealing home games or not games at all understood a few basic business facts. If you don't go to home games, the club doesn't get enough money coming in, so guess what, it can't afford to buy players nor pay their wages. DK is not mega rich, so accept that for the time being. He's done a good job in difficult circumstances, but some people can't accept reality.

Now, if that's too difficult to understand, let me know and I'll try to write it very simple terms and a large font.

I'm getting really pee'd off with the constant sniping of posters who don't go to Withdean. Yes, it is a dump, we do get wet and the atmosphere is crap, but it's all we've got. If you were a real fan of the club, then you would support the club. The club needs more money coming in. Away fans and armchair fans don't help the club. If you wanted to get to a game but can't afford a season ticket, you can get a ticket for any game you want at the moment, as we don't sell out. Shit, you can buy on-line and collect at the shop before the game.

Also, I would guess that a lot of the regular away fans are STH's as well. I don't buy this impression that there is a separate group of fans who only go to away games.

P.s. happy new year to you all.;)


Ahem. so you are fed up with all the moaning are you? So much so that you start a thread with a litany of moans under the heading.

My but some people are ending the year on a high note :whistle: :rant: :whistle: :bla: :glare:

Not really. I'm trying to highlight what the reality is for our club.

If certain people feel clever by making snide comments and trying to look smart, then that's their right. It is a message board and everyone is entitled to their view. However, we can't ignore the plain facts of where we currently are in terms of facilities, attendances and finances.

Honestly :ohmy:

For being lazy? Lack of goals?

Thought he was a pretty decent player for us, although the years passed may have affected my memory :bounce:
