would that be the one in response to insinuations about being on the club payroll or getting benefits etc?

It was an example of posts that you have made - however my comment about downer was intended to reflect your view after matches (when we win you are joyous and when we lose or fail to win when we should you are doom laden). It was not a comment about your mental state. If that is how you have taken it (and Dave has too) then apologies.

I am somehwta surprised the reaction to some people on here to those who are not going to renew.
Not renewing does not make you a bad fan.
Contrary to popular opinion, the club is not a charity, although some of the comments " I will give my money to support the club anyway" is fair enough to those who take that attitude, but there are lots who dont.
My Brother in law and I have both had a ST since we have been back at Withers ( I had one at The Goldstone for many years) but on saturday we had both decided that enough was enough. Its expensive, you can get tickets on a match day anyway, we dont use the transport option, when we cant make a game, you cant give the tickets away and finally more importantly, we have both become tired of the whole scenario....3 goals at home since the beginning of the year, shite football and when being honest, the only think I like about withdean is the pub before, that chats/banter with other fans...that is it.
That is my reasoning and its a personal one. If people say by having this attitude then LDC have won...well perhaps they have.
On saturday, some people in the ground paid £5 to watch that...I didnt. that is a fact.
If the albion dropped the prices I may be tempted, otherwise, I will buy as I am going along. If we are then doing well I may get a 10 match one as they are now offering,

Nah its gareth...he is MAD.
Anyone who does as much as him for the REMF and gets the amount of stick he does, although he does put his head above the paraphet, must be stark raving bonkers.

2 separate issues, Dave. The REMF work is universally admired and anyone who gives him stick for that is beyond contempt. IT's the usual...why should I pay out for another season ticket crap that gets him stick.
Look, if you want to renew then do. I'd really appreciate it if you did bit if you don't want to renew then don't. Don't whinge about it and don't expect others to beg you for it or kiss your arses if you then choose to renew. It's all a bit tedious now.
When exactly did we play exciting top-flight football in a state of the art stadium recently because as far as I can remember for the last 20 years we've been a lower league side playing in a crap stadium with sod all resources available. You've known this for a long time.

I totally agree with you....I just give people my opinion of what I feel and that of some of the people sitting around us. That is all...its just an opinion as is Gareths.
As I said originally the only issue I have is where people call you a bad fan for not renewing, that is all.

is the correct answer
Not renewing is a personal choice. If you don't, then so be it. It certainly doesn't make anyone a 'bad fan', whatever that is.
There is a fine line though, between explaining your reasons for not doing so, and almost encouraging others to follow suit. If you are actively encouraging people not to renew, by repeatedly spelling out the reasons why you feel they should not, then you are doing the club no favours.

we don't have to come and there are plenty of alternatives
then don't come then. Stay way and then you won't have to moan about it.
Simple really.

I then find this usual venom posted by you.
So very subtley
NSC IS NOT A TRUE REPRESENTATION OF ALBION FANS. WE ALL KNOW YOUR OPINION AS YOU HAVE TOLD US ON NUMEROUS BLOODY OCCASIONS.
NOW PLEASE IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NEW TO SAY - GO AND PLAY WITH THE WHITE LINES ON THE A23
Thank you
I normally get to say that, but use Beachy Head rather than the A23.
However sir, well said.
