Re: Extremely questionable letter re rebrand in Wales Online
I have been attending since the sixties not every match . Missed quite a few when we were garbage in the Durban years and the mid 1990 s particularly but after a month off I would return. Always been amazed at how many claim to have been regular fans since 1960 or 70 ..if all those people were telling the truth we would never have has the crowds of 2,000 odd back in the past.
Anyway of the 7 of us who have sat together for the last 25 years not one of us is giving up our season tickets , despite Russell Slades best efforts. Of the guys I know from other parts of the ground , everyone is fed up with the crap football but all will renew. I know a couple who have walked through work contacts but even when I hear them talk they sound so desperate. Why cant they leave it go? They seem more obsessed now than when they did attend. Sad that they cant move on. Maybe they will become this generation,s version of those saddos who never tired of droning on about how they havent been to a City game since Toshack was sold?

Is that true, TOBW? That's very sad, one of life's uncomfortable ironies. Just as your writing reaches a wide audience the subject becomes unpalatable.

Yes, packed it in today.
If it was foisted upon you, it would be very pleasing to hear that the same fate befell Mr Curtis (actually I'd like it better if he was just binned for being a complete illiterate)

I do hope it was a personal choice, rather than something that was foisted upon you. No need to elaborate though.
Bugger - broke my New Year resolution already!

No, it was entirely my own decision - I'll not go into details, but if we were a band, my leaving would have been down to those "musical differences" we always hear about.

Sorry to hear it TOBW. Hoping the blog will continue at least.
Yes, I plan to keep it going - not sure what it will look like if I do not renew, but I want to still go along and watch the Under 18s play, so there'll at least be an occasional report on their games.
Re: Extremely questionable letter re rebrand in Wales Online
I hope Steve west and his 20,000 mates enjoy the game Friday. Last I heard tickets were a tenner each and they'd only sold 2,000 though http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/sherlock.gif

The past 25 years except for the mid 90s?

Not telling the whole story by the sounds of it. Row probably meant swearing, threatening, maybe he was waving his stick around, probably causing a public disturbance.
Re: Extremely questionable letter re rebrand in Wales Online
Had a quick look at his Facebook. How fecking embarrassing. This Steve west is a complete numpty. Some barmy fecking braindead binman called Michael usher on there trying to fight him aswell. West is a prick, but trying to set up a fight with a disabled bloke is pretty shocking ng too http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif

Yeah I saw that. Judging by the weirdos photos though, he's been filled in already, on one of his photos he got a big black eye.
Re: Extremely questionable letter re rebrand in Wales Online
Haha, far too much time on his hands.

I think they are more than aware of his background - he appears to be their 'go to' man when it comes to writing letters designed to provoke.
