If i never went to another game i don't feel i owe the Giants or any other club anything and i surely don't have anything to prove.

The reason i am waiting to see what changes with the club is because i am not prepared to keep buying a season pass for a team that never progresses, I don't know why nothing changes, for all i know everybody may be doing their job to the best they can, but something needs to change down there because something is not working and it has not for a long time.
So for me this season is the straw that broke the Camel's back, If i don't like the look of things i won't buy a ST, I'll pick the games i go too and I'll watch the games on Sky. I totally understand your reasoning but it just won't work for me anymore, I have seen too many false dawns but who knows maybe we will get some changes that will finally make a difference, I hope so cause i want them to be successful as much as anyone else, I just have this horrible feeling that nothing of any note is going to change, Iv'e already had my letter inviting me to renew my ticket, but i'll be waiting to see what happens.

Whilst I will pay the £149.00 this season, I will be 64, it seems a bit obtuse that from 16 years old I and many more older than me have paid either full price at the gate or in most seasons bought a full price season ticket whatever the price and it has fluctuated.

My argument would be that the 65 (not me this season) and overs should also get the £80.00 ticket as the current generation have no more and in most cases a lot less disposable money than people in their mid to late twenties and between thirty and sixty five.

I think the offer is very fair for the majority but for the over 65’s if the aim is to get numbers in the ground the club has missed a trick as many older fans come as a couple and there’s a big difference between £160.00 for two people and £298.00 when in a lot of cases pensions are the only income.

Seems daft but we could lose as many as we gain and surely we should reward those who have been coming for many years and supporting the team?

What I find really interesting about the likes of spaines jools and Scorpio is that despite alll the value points made by posters about how bad the club is run or criticising the organisation or the poor recruitment all they come back with is that We are proper fans you are not a fan because you are not as loyal as us.

All said in a slightly superior tone.

You are not supporters or fans you are just cheerleaders who blindly accept the crap that you are served up and then blame other supporters for not being as loyal as you.

The question you need to ask is why is the club doing so badly ? why are fans leaving in droves ? and why do you celebrate when others are critical of the club and move away from the club.?

You are making things up Durham- I have never ever said anything about me being more loyal etc etc. I challenge you to show evidence of your accusations.
What I find really interesting is that it seems to me you get a joy out of being grumpy.
In answer to your questions;
There is more than one reason, I don’t have time to discuss the last three years all over again. In case you hadn’t noticed they are all across the fake and the giants are not unique in this- it’s a general trend even in clubs who win.
I don’t- again I challenge you to provide evidence of me celebrating.
