For your information I have supported this club for over thirty years. With all due respect you need to look deeper and realise why people like me are no longer going.
I hope the penny drops for you soon.
I hope the penny drops for you soon.
I am in my 39th year and i want a club to be here well into my old age and even when i have left this earth so my lad can still keep going,now with ppl like you,you are putting its very existence into jeopardy by stopping away but my opinion you are just tight gits and blame the club for its short falls,you either want a club or you don't that is why i keep going.
If we get a top premier league team in the F A Cup you would be there like a shot with your hypocritical support...........

You dont seem to have a very high opinion of the chairman if you think he would do something like that.
The fans wont be blackmailed, all they want are results and entertainment. As things stand they are getting neither despite the club spending heavily. The fact the club refuse to acknowledge there are serious problems smacks of an arrogance towards the fans and that further puts them off coming.
Ironically if Hubbard did something like what you suggest, then the blame would lie with all those that accepted mediocrity while fans drifted away and we fell down the league. In short people like you Lesley. You think you are such great fans by blindly accepting any old crap but all you do is give legitimacy to poor decisions from the board. I SUGGEST IT IS YOU THAT IS THE CANCER.

If people like me didnt go there would be no club! So how you work out i am worse for the club is beyond me.
With matches, sponsorship and share i probably spend around 15k a year on this club.
If Hubbard carried out the Hypothetical situation i suggested it certainly wouldnt be my fault or any other fan who choses to go every week. All i am saying is he seems the type to spit the dummy out like Norton did.
I am not a Hubbard fan like i mentioned and at times i think he has carried us through tough situations well but on other occasions he his a joke.
His marketing skills have a lot to be desired for one. He should be on the radio or local paper rousing the fans.

I'm genuinely bemused as to why some people cant accept why some people have decided not to turn up. Is there a link between not understanding this concept and some people's intellectual prowess?
Guess I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!

Are you for real - you must have had no respect for her -
15k a year on town with your mortgage you must be on 60k a year at 23 your doing very well

i think that you should keep out of that decision mate. Thats a personal decision she made and is made through what her nan would have rather the family do ie carry on with life.

Why should he not mention that, its Lesley who chooses to use her dying relation as some kind of badge of honour?

Maybe thats the case at the time i was 14 so who knows.
As for you comment to my wage, i live with my partner and i am a senior client support manager and yes between we earn 60k a year - not thats any of your business but as i dont shy from the truth i will answer.
And as for doing well. I have worked for the company since leaving school, i have done a degree in my own time and taken a night job as well before the promotion!

Its nothing to do with me - she posted it on here so if it was so personal why post it think about it chap
She posted it to make people think she is a die hard fan, well she has the title for me for that quote

Im not interested in what you do or earn, you mentioned how much you spent on supporting town like your such a great die hard fan. Some people on here dont earn that a year so why bring it up.
We all have done things in life to earn money ive worked away for 20 years to provide for my family and still do but get paid very well for it - BUT WHO CARES
Well done young pup you are the number one die hard fan - but wait until your a little older and wiser and supported town a little longer then you might understand why some fans choose to stay away

For one please dont patronize me.
I have never said i wanted to be number one fan i was just giving my spin on what i think a die hard fan is.
And as for my comments about what i put into the club they were made because T_F said that i was the reason the club is struggling. So i was giving an example of the money i put in to show i was helping.
It wasnt a brag/dig or anything just a view

A simple question, Lesley: i, like you, attend virtually every home game, often with my Wife. I, like you (i guess), buy a fifty-fifty. I, like you (i guess), have a BOTM direct debit. I buy gear for myself, for the lad and for friends from the club shop and was one of the many that dug deep to chuck in what we could afford in our hour of need. In short, maybe there's not that much between us when it comes to supporting the Club financially (not that i'm suggesting that as a valid criteria to judge who's a 'true supporter', though).
Where we do differ though, is away games. But, apart from a fraction of the bus fare (which is another subject altogether!) just how does going to away games benefit CFC financialy?

every body sits and reads and thinks just how wonderful you are to the club.
i still like the others fail to understand how that gives you the right criticise the fans that are certainly less fortunate than yourself
dont you think that if all fans carried on attending as you expect them to do, that hubbard would sit in his seat happy, knowing the fans are satisfied
suirely continuing can be turned round to show that is you that may be damaging the club not the stay aways

Wrong.... damn you are so short sighted!!!
Our wonderful away following inspires and motivates our side to great away results... stay aways look at the vidi printer and think ' what a result...ill think ill get myself down to Saltergate next Saturday after all!!! ".. and a few numbers are added to the attendance... Simple!
