Quote: ccs "Good to see the bully boys are on form again tonight.'"
I can only speak for myself but to feel bullied I think you'd have to feel intimidated. What by, fairytales about 40 year credit ratings and references to Rovers buses? Jesus wept
Look, I think there are two polarised viewpoints here. Group 1 believe, based on sustained losses, credit rating deteriorating markedly to significant risk over the last 12 months (incidentally materially worse than other top 8 clubs that don't control their own ground) and reducing attendances that passholders failing to renew will present a significant threat to the club's ability to hold its own. Group 2 think comments to this effect by Group 1 (and I include our owner in Group 1

) are fabricated baseless threats and that the club can sustain itself even with major reductions in its active fanbase. Surely both groups agree that there's some correlation between resources available to a club, whether through a benefactor, ground ownership and/or large fanbase? In my opinion therefore the more people that renew, the better our chances of success. It's as simple as that. Of the three factors mentioned that seem important drivers of success, we don't have the first two. Our competitive advantage in the third is diminished. Why wouldn't we advocate trying to leverage it?
