Im guessing that was SteB. sort of funny looking bloke?

Is Brisa going to have a 'supporter of the year' award?  If so Kimberley gets my nomination. 

See you at West Ham too Kimberley.

TND, Every other post seems to be a dig at either Scotty or another poster, or the proposed ISA. May I ask what your problem is?

You have been invited more than once to come along to the ISA meetings, we want as many people as possible to attend, as the 8 or so new faces at the last meeting will testify.

Shirt deals are nothing to do with the size of home crowd, it's all about appearances on TV and in press pictures.

We finished 15th, not 20th; yet we have the salary bill of a top 10 team and the shirt deal of the bottom team. If he was as good as everyone thinks, then those two statistics would be reversed.

And I would hazard just a little guess (and I might be wrong) that crowd size at the crowd is directly proportional to success on the pitch, which is pretty much proportional to press exposure nationally (internationally doesnt apply - prem coverage in many overseas countries involves Man Utd/Chelsea and Liverpool regardless of league placing.

I am sure that you could do a far better job than John Williams, so why dont you apply. This is real life not fairytale land. Good job in difficult circumstances.

Yeah, isnt he terrible.

The club with one of the lowest attendances in the country, not to mention one of the smallest fanbases in one of the smallest towns.

Bloody hell, having the smallest shirt sponsor (and given that the same company also plough cash in through being kit sponsor and on the retail space the amount they give us is considerably higher!) what a shocker.

Just over 5000

reasonable afternoons entertainment.

Good to come home to what seems to be reasonable news about Sir Matt Jansen not being as bad as we feared. Didnt look nice from where I was sat.

Its frustrating that the club has faceless owners with limited funds of over 600 million. Still opinions aren't allowed here. Maybe the mods should open a second messageboard for anyone with the nerve to have a different point of view.

What did Mr Williams say when you went to see him as you promised? Or are you all mouth and no trousers?

Opinions are allowed, but take a look through your post history and see why its boring.

if you say Iraq is a reason for why London was attacked, you're giving excuses for and justifying the attacks" it's a tad worrying. What, exactly, counts as "justifying" these days?

That could have come straight from the pages of the daily mail.

What did Mr Williams say when you went to see him?

Would need the Walkers to provide the funds too. Im not surprised Rovers brought in less than most clubs. Can't lose too much of that 600 million fortune. At least its an inprovement on 150,000 although after such a huge outlay for them it will probably be reduced to that figure next summer.

Dont think there are any real shocks in there, apart from the obvious mistake at no 26!!

Im doing a sit down protest in the Blackburn End from 3pm till 5pm tomorrow.

336873[/snapback]

Youd better not sit down in front of me Alan.

Im fed up of all these people who insist on sitting down and blocking my view.

Spoke to the TO today when purchasing seat for Espanyol match.

No order to the way they are being sent out, however the last ones expected to leave the office today so by the end of next week (allowing for the post office to send them via Portsmouth or somewhere equally sensible)

As long as it arrives by the start of the season then surely their act is together?

What use is it now?

Or are you that desperate to get your hands on the "goals of the season" dvd?

Its not worth it!

who did the song - Eff you I wont do what you tell me - we should play that, that'll upset Gerald

Rage Against The Machine.

The wife got hers weeks ago

Nothing last minute about that.

Firstly, treason is the only crime in the UK which still carries the death penalty as I understand it.

335673[/snapback]

Fortunately it no longer carries the death penalty. There is no offence which, in this country, carries the death sentance.

£15? It's not so bad. I'd have liked it cheaper of course but then again what did I expect? Please, someone find me another Premier League club that is playing a pre-season friendly at home and charging £15 or below to watch.

335566[/snapback]

Sorry Bob but fulham are charging a tenner (or a fiver for STH) for their friendly on 6th against Panionios.

I couldnt justify buying a season ticket to get that stuff(I'm just not that hardcore), but I would pay some price to get that stuff so I could say I was a paid up supporter for the coming season.  International supporters are forever on the outside looking in.

335439[/snapback]

I think that some (all?) of the stuff was to do with this new members club that is being touted about although I am not sure.

Chelsea was only about 23k

Everton and Liverpool both around 26k

Newcastle 29k+

Mmmmmmm we didn't have a single sell-out last season....v Utd 26,000!!!!

335347[/snapback]

Over 29 v Newcastle though.

Gav - make sure its League games only - we dont want the sub 10k cup crowds affecting the average!!!

Talk about fiddling whilst Rome burns eh?  You lot would talk a glass eye to sleep. 

You pontificating lot all sound like Vicky Pollard.  Ah but... Yes but..... No but.

TND - give him some lessons in answer avoidance! he needs help!

Deportation.

335302[/snapback]

Why does the HRA prevent deportation? No

Have people been deported since 1998? Yes

So, what precisely are you trying to do other than make yourself look like you havnt got a clue what youa re talking about?

NB - I dont disagree with the sentiment that terrorists should be rooted out of our society and locked up. But the HRA neither helps nor hinders that activity. The big problem is identifying them, the same as with any crime.

Now unless you have something relevent to add shall I consider this particular discussion to be over?

The point is how can we keep these criminals from sheltering in this land?

335299[/snapback]

The point is "how would repealing the HRA prevent them from doing so?"

Or are you unable to answer that?

OK then, lets keep Hooky, Bakry et al on the DSS and turn a blind eye.

335294[/snapback]

Hooky is currently in jail awaiting deportation. (and yes it took to long)

You appear to be doing a "blue phil" and not answering the question.

What relevance does the HRA have to what you are saying?
