People get on in football on merit. If a player is good enough, he gets to play. No different for managers, they are all hired and fired based on results. Some may talk a good game to get a job, (like Dowie did) but ultimately you get judged on what your team does. Ince has a poor record as...

Why can't people get their heads round the fact that people do not need an 'excuse' not to go. People who don't go simply don't want to. All that is down to personal choices. If I didn't go I wouldn't make an excuse to anyone. Like everyone else I please myself. You have to turn it on its...

Take no notice of him! He was probably organising a protest to keep us at Sixfields.:jerkit:

I have to go along with all of that. We are already regretting getting season tickets again. Having never missed games on previous season tickets, we are already scheduled to miss some this season because of previously booked holidays. It costs us £29 a game for the 2 of us, plus travelling...

All your suggestions are fine, Nick. They certainly have not done very well in promoting the return. As NW said, there should have been a greater emphasis on season ticket sales, and cheap deals to rope people in. As for excuses, people don't need them. They need reasons to go, not reasons...

Agree with every word. But none of it will happen. The Exeter gate will be desperate, even at £5, because it's only the JPT. I wonder what the gate would have been on Tuesday if it had been a league game at normal prices.

I thought I'd moved on too. Yet the euphoria of the return and the hype around the Gillingham game persuaded me to get season tickets for me and the wife, same seats as we had before in Block 19. I have to say the euphoria soon wore off. In the cold light of day it is obvious we have a very...

Correct. And they have now dropped the London prefix so they are officially now just called Wasps again.

Again, fair comment. But it is for them to protest and do something about it. My concern is for CCFC and the club seem to have shot themselves in the foot by stating that they have no interest in buying the Ricoh. I despair, honestly I do. If Sisu had any sense whatsoever they would be...

Fair comment in a way. Although Wasps were originally in London and Wycombe represented a move similar to City going to Northampton. It seems that quite a few rugby clubs have moved over the years, especially London teams to places like Reading or Oxford. Maybe it is more acceptable in...

Rochdale, Doncaster and Halifax share with RL clubs, I believe. Notts County share with Nottingham RFC. Bristol Rovers shared with Bristol RFC until last season, but the rugby club now share with Bristol City.

Surely this is just another conspiracy theory. Wasps are owned, I believe, by Derek Richardson (No relation, hopefully) who doesn't appear to be short of a few bob. They are known to be looking for a new home where they can build a decent fanbase, which they say they can't do in Wycombe...

Even as we were preparing for the Gillingham game, SISU (Fisher) said that they still planned their own stadium. OK, nobody believed it, but you cannot blame the council for talking to another potential buyer in the circumstances. It is what anyone would do, especially as the council have...

If managers are not allowed to say anything even remotely controversial, why do teams bother to have these media events the day before every game. Absolutely pointless yet Sky Sports lap them up from the top clubs. Just go back to naming the squad and updating the local rag on who is injured.

That's how politics works. It always has. You get elected on a party ticket so are expected to vote with that party. Take a look at parliament, the government wins no matter what has been argued during the debate. Very few issues lead to a free vote.

I accept that the council have a legal duty to get the best deal for the taxpayers. So I agree that SISU should be considering a higher bid for the stadium. Selling to someone who is not the highest bidder would put the council in great difficulty here. The kiss of death was Fisher saying...

A few years ago, when we were in the Premier League I think, the BCFA tried to insist that all teams fielded their strongest teams in the Birmingham Senior Cup. Some committee of crusty old blazers were trying to make it a credible competition and show teams who was the boss. Needless to say...

I see that they are bottom but one and we are the only team they have beaten at home this season. Not very encouraging.

That is exactly the point. And why it is so depressing.

I just find it so depressing that a twopenny-ha'penny little club like Bournemouth can attract our best players and pay them more than we ever could. How times have changed, and how far we have fallen.
