Fair play to you but I wouldn’t waste that much time replying to Topper, I’ve stopped long ago, I often wonder if he’s taking the poas with some of his statements and questions. GasDust said to me the other day he wondered if he was paid by Hugo to keep the forum busy?! Your explanation is spot on There are a few who get benefits for using the forum. One for being provocative. One for being an old nause. One for being overly nice. One for being argumentative. One for being political. One for being sensible. One for being a topper. It keeps things moving. and me Topper have a love hate relationship, the blokes a legend really. |

So fans have had their STs on an instalment plan and not fully paid for it?! That’s low. Get the bailiff round I say! Problem is they know they will get away with a few hundred quid as the finance company would have great difficulty getting their money back and all they can do is highlight it in their credit rating. I wonder if any of them were on here demanding we buy JCH? |

No reason for them not to be Expect they had a letter from the club telling not to do it again, same as all those lads a couple of seasons ago in the 17 - 20 age group who were buying under 16 match day tickets and getting in. It always a few who ruin it for the rest. |

I'm sure my experience will be shared by many of my generation, i.e. born mid-fifties, now approaching 70 and retired. I still love coming to matches and even a few away every season. My wife still doesn't understand why an old bloke like me continues to wander up to the Men and watch lower league football in a cr*p stadium where I dread needing to visit the loo at half time every other weekend. The reason is simple, I first came when I was still at primary school and my dad started bringing me with him (not to the Mem of course..) Unlike many of my school mates I didn't support a First Division team because now I HAD A TEAM TO FOLLOW. It became part of my life and part of me, might sound daft but it's still part of who I am now and I can't imagine the day when it wouldn't be. Twerton wasn't my favourite ground but we still turned up. Dad's long gone now but I still miss him, us coming to the match, Sports Report in the car on the way home. Still turning up keeps me in touch with those old memories and happy days. If the club don't recognise the value of encouraging the next generation, of making it possible for them to come along, get excited about their team and their club by making it affordable, comfortable and safe then we're in trouble for the future. Where I stand on the Thatcher's there are an awful lot of grey heads like me and not a lot of youngsters as I remember. Great post , top man ! Tom Gorringe has also echoed what wael replied. They are hopeful another company will take over. I hope so !!! |

Assuming they did it deliberately rather than falling on hard times you do wonder what goes through their minds, why buy a season ticket if you can't afford to pay for it, as for a finance company to pull out it probably wasn't just the odd fans doing it. I'd be surprised if the club can now find an alternative financial company as they'll only face the same issues. |

What will happen is a new finance company will be more likely to take fans to small claims court for non payment and maybe get an attachment of earnings. Then fans will complain that they have been sold out to an organisation that doesn't care about them and have been heavy handed getting them to repay what they owe. |

If fans fall on hard times, then if they approach the credit company to offer to pay over an extended period then this would stop average Joe from losing this excellent option in a recession. Was it last season fans had duplicate season tickets, just robbing the club, income and squad development. |

It just shows that we have some fans who are just Bell Ends, doesn't it? Anyone with a small amount of decency would as you say try and talk it through with the finance company and come to an agreement. |
