Get a life Tommy, no one MAKES you buy the clobber, The club IS a business like it or not, and like all businesses it has to make money, we are the customers ! who else are they going to target ? you have a choice USE IT !!!!!
No one makes us buy it.
No one makes the club tell lies about it either. But they continue to do so.
A couple of years ago they said they would only be doing two year kits from now on. They put it in the customer charter. Then they released a one year 'fosse gold' away kit, and explained this was only one year because of the 120th anniversary. So they thought that justified going against what they'd said previously.
Then when they announced the new home kit they tried to justify it by saying other clubs did it. I don't care what other clubs do. I do care that our club consistently says one thing, then does another. They've lied about ticket prices, they've lied about La Manga, and I'm sure they've lied about other things we don't know about.
They've been doing this for years, they seem to think we're idiots because they think we'll forget what they've said in the past. We shouldn't let them get away with treating us like idiots.
good grief, bitter and twisted or what ???
No, I just don't like being treated like an idiot, lied to and taken advantage of.
If you think that's ok, that's up to you. You obviously have different moral standards to me.
If we let them get away with treating us like shit they'll continue to do it - and it'll get worse.
Football is not like any other business. If Tesco treated us badly we could go to Asda instead. But football clubs know they've got a captive audience, and they take advantage of it. To some extent they have to do that to survive, and I understand that. It's all the bullshit that comes with it that I don't like. I don't know how much the kit thing was down to Paul Mace - but I do know he's lied to us in the past about other things, and when challenged he hasn't answered the question, he's just come out with a load of spin about us getting 'value' etc.
It seems our club is morally bankrupt from top to bottom. The change of ownership was supposed to improve things, but that hasn't happened.
