It's true though. I'm not NOPM but I haven't bought a season ticket and won't be going much at all this season. I accept that I haven't spent any money which in turn means I haven't helped the squad situation. Take some responsibility for your actions.

1. assuming you are NOPM
2. all of this is my own view I'm not on Nicks payroll or part of a clique.
3. I fucking hate Sisu and the council and wasps

That's fair enough, and I'm the same.

It's safe to say though, that if the club was easier to love I'd be putting in a damned site more effort to find ways to give them my cash.

So be it.

The difference between not going because you have a baby or something is different to being "NOPM" though. Shouting about being proud about NOPM and starving out the owners is doing so to purposefully not give money, and then moaning about investment.

We have had a poor start but it has also flushed out so clear deficiencies which TM/MV have an opportunity to address, over to them to sort it out. No worried just yet

Got some very winnable games coming up in the next 6, albeit with a couple of difficult away games.
Should get some good points against Northampton, Oldham, and Wimbledon at home.

So you think I should just chuck money at something I dont agree with ? It s the owners job to entice fans to games to create a budget . They have failed , the gates have halved since their arrival . So I think there a good few who take the same stance .

No, he is saying if you are banging on about not giving the club money you are hardly in a position to bang on all the time about investment and the budget. Which ironically the people who shout they are NOPM and proud also shout the loudest about.

Not a great start admittedly.

Should results still be about the same by the end of October maybe, just maybe, the old sphincter will be twitching!

Im not even saying that.
Just don't deny that you have an effect on the squad budget when you don't go.

The halving of gates is a falsehood due to the short term impact of a new stadium.

It has nothing to do with owners either - plenty abandon this principal when a bandwagon starts to roll even with sisu as owners.

I'm definitely NOPM, though with me it's Not One Pressley More.

God was that dull under him at the end!

He's right about the bandwagon though. Didn't quite get to a stage to take off last season (as ever with CCFC, when on the cusp of greatness we ballsed it up) but there was a definite softening towards our owners, about how they'd learned from their mistakes... all because we'd won a couple of games.

Well they were still the same, and still shit. Winning a couple of matches doesn't change that... but it does mean people are more likely to overlook the diabolical shiteness of them.

Imagine the thought of one goal every three league games, that'd be dire

Was it my imagination when we started to get gates of 17,000 last season then? As a league 1 team? Think nopm would stand the test of a JPT semi final?

Which leads one to suspect your true motives. Is your name really Bruce or do you have a strange habit of making sheep noises?

Bruce perhaps debating forums are not for you. It's a real bugger when someone has a different view, it's atrocious behaviour and should be banned throughout the civilised world.
You may have hit on a good idea though a forum where posters can only have one opinion, might go down well in certain areas of Syria and Iraq at the moment

To be fair until recently the CET site was like that.

I wrote that sometime ago when the initial debate was about not accepting other people's opinion, how the hell it came up further in the debate God knows.
All I'm saying you seem unwilling to accept other people's opinions.
Now let's get back to NOPM, we haven't broached this subject before
