Nogbad the Bad Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 8 hours ago, freezer said: Glad you're having a laugh. I do find comments from you such as..."peanut hugging glory hunter", "terrible man who buys half half scarves", "full kit manipulator", just.....unfunny. Hence, there forth, why I might have missed your humour. Thank you for your blessing. I'll continue to have City in my heart but spend most of my time and money on actively supporting my local, very high performing rugby team. Bristol have (apparently) been doing well and City have been so, so frustrating and boring at home for the last 3 seasons. However, supporting the Rugby team instead of Bristol City? I could never have the same emotional attachment to the Rugby team as I do with City so I would never really care if Bristol won or lost. Not for me then, ever, how ever successful Bristol are. Do understand your disillusionment with City though - hopefully big changes are finally coming, and with them the passion on the pitch and entertainment to tempt you back. If not I suspect, unfortunately, many others will be joining you in finding more enjoyable ways to spend their time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have some sort of problem with people who work hard and achieve a quality of life that you clearly envy. I just don't buy this "if you are a true City fan you just always buy your season ticket". I have been an ST holder for many years and I am sick of the s**t I have to watch every week an sick of the crap statements coming out of our club. As long as we keep accepting the situation like sheep and paying our money there will be no spreadsheet based justification for change. And it seems that all of our policies are based on numbers. I will not buy my season ticket until I know who will be in charge and who I will be watching next year. If enough people did this SL might just understand how bad it is for us supporters sorry I mean customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'll get slated by some but, I'd rather watch world class players at the top of their game. Also, due to other commitments, the fewer home game season fits my lifestyle a lot easier.

If the Bears have a forum I hope it's not as vitriolic as this one, particularly on some forums. Overall, glad I stopped 'supporting' City financially and laid off the overbearing, have to watch, listen to every game format. It's freed me up massively to enjoy lots of other stuff. Always be there. Get off your knees. Personally- I thought it was an interesting OP so cheers for that. I do enjoy watching a bit of Rugby but this is usually restricted to 6 Nations/World cup. All I know is that BCFC is making me less inclined to buy a season ticket and this has zero to do with NP either way. The idea of watching a team from my home City that are going in the right direction and winning things is seductive. If that makes me a glory hunter then so be it. I'm a little tired of watching the abject nonsense that has been served up in very recent times by three different Managers and a club who seem oblivious.

Berkshire Red Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Without reading back over the whole thread again, can someone fill me in on the gaps. So far I've ascertained: @freezer has decided to get a ST for the rugby instead of City. @steviestevieneville has indicated he wishes for freezer to have a yacht accident due to his glory seeking tendencies. This has since been confirmed as a joke from blackadder. He is also a fake glory fan and would get more gratification supporting Man City? @freezer has disagreed that the comment was funny. In turn adding his own joke to the forum. We've learned F likes comedy about masturbating at the doctors for which @steviestevieneville has disagreed is amusing. Posting this on a public forum has no doubt got many peoples minds going. I think there are still many unanswered points that need to be ironed out before the thread can be closed. 1. Are masturbation jokes superior to blackadder? 2. Should all who enjoy rugby have the same final destination style ending? 3. Do I need to start a new forum if I decide to/not to renew? 4. Would Freezer get more enjoyment supporting Man City? Over to you gents ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
