All this is saying to Sir Ken is - get your hand in your pocket and spend even more cash than the millions you have already done - as we as 'fans' are not prepared to back your monumental investment even with a measly £200 because it isn't all working out the way we wanted.'"
Sums it up for me that pal !!
Supporters support .....fans come along for the good bits !
Btw i'm not aiming mine at people like DG etc who have to travel a distance to games, i lived away once and it is damn hard to get back to every game so know the situation they're in.

| I'm with you on that one sheepridge. If folk decide not to come because its too expensive in these difficult times then fair enough. But to give up because they didn't get what they wanted..as well as reminding me if my 6 year old.... .. Well sort of smacks of hypocritical given the criticism of the players giving up/ not making the effort.

A lot use the price as an excuse,after all the club offer a monthly payment option,so suppose if you are truly committed to the Giants cause you need to sacrifice some other pleasure.Too many expect to have top class RL for nowt.All these who are saying they won't renew are basically throwing Sir Kens outstanding generosity of last year back in his face.

| They do sheepridge- but I can get where some are coming from, our income went down more than 2/3 when the other half was made redundant last year and if it had happened at this time of year no way we could have afforded to renew our tickets.

Daz I know you want to be there,not looking for unrealistic excuses about not whacking Wiggin Whinos & Stains by 40 points every week.

3 of them have lost their jobs and are unemployed. They are struggling financially to the extent they have had to sell their car and are relying on public transport. There none attendance will affect them taking their kids.
One is now spending his money watching Town for obvious reasons.
As I have not got a season ticket i did not bother renewing the three kids. That about covers the 14.
I will pick and choose my games now. If i lived in Shhepbridge i woulkd have renewed. But i dont and i have other prioritie sthat i have to spend my money on.
The fact that Diesel will be a least 3p a litre dearer from January also influences my decisions.
Is that enough for all the holier than thou supporters on here.
I would like to know where they all were when we took 21 fans to whitehaven or about 30 to the Harvey Haddon playing fields.
The negativity about the club is based on the fact that some people seem unable to accept that IMHO Ken Davy gave his last shot at building success by giving NB every finacial and support available to build the club.
Despite some posters glorifying getting to the CC final and getting 3rd place in the league IMHO NB constantly undermined the club every season he was here with is will i stay or will i go antics.
His recruitment IMHO was poor, he left us with a poor set of forwards to hand over to Anderson and then decided to fook us over signing Kopczak.
When Smith left he left a decent legacy for Sharp to build on, when Sharp went at least Anderson and Purtill something to work with and give NB a decent start. Anderson has been left in potentially a worse situation by Nbs poor decisons at the end of last season and this.
Still at least we have some good youngstrers at 15, 16 and 18 level. Lets hope they decide to stay with their home town club rather than follow the money or success over the pennines.

| Just cos I live in this fictional place of sheepbridge, somehow everything has just been handed to me on a plate,no financial concerns for me and mine.
See you & your mates when the Giants start winning again on a regular basis,until then.............
