Ska Junkie Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 That could support the feeling that the players are embarrassed ? A sign of them standing with us? I'm only asking a question by the way as I don't know. Maybe they are as fed up as we are with the present situation and showing a bit of solidarity with the supporters? Just now, ziderheadarmy said: Sorry, I'm confused... it's not his fault?????? He is the manager for Christ sake wake up Personally, I took that post as being ironic as in 'it's never LJ's fault'!

RedM Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Just now, Super said: How much was the ticket RM? My adult was £24, obviously there were various concessions. It's not the money as again obviously I was prepared to pay that for a point or two or even a decent game of football with a bit of fight in it. I'm staggered it's the players doing this, it's the principal of the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Me The Money! Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Sure many would like a refund on their ST. Maybe LJ could cough up for those out of his new contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Fair play to them and the club, we badly need 3 points, but I think this will help pull us all together again. I am sure LJ chipped in, but untimately its the players we need to dig deep and get us through this and out of trouble.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaspberryRed Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 So my thread was read by someone in or around the club Like @RedM I'm not sure what message this sends and if prompted by fans reaction it's a shame they didn't come to this decision without being nudged as it now feels more like a PR face save. That said. As much as I slate bad perfomance/behaviour then I have to say well done for doing the honorable thing and just pleased for the 316 who watched the capitulation. I can only hope this positivity and the players acknowledgment can carry forward to 3 pts Sat and going on to avoid the drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Just heard Kory Smith on radio Bris... ok but now as far as I'm concerned... .....They know how and what they have to do to really put things right ..starting Saturday, we know they can, question is are they really up for it? They're all pro players and all know how to win a fame of football, with or without the wisdom of a pitchside manager ...just do what needs to be done ffs... coyr's..

That's not actually how I perceived it NR, maybe some did but when I read the thread, it was more a case of thinking the split roles would make it impossible for him to do the SLO role properly. That's how I read it anyway. Understandably, he's not going to go against the 'party' line and risk his position, he's a working man just like us after all.

That's my view too, but in the thread there were definitely elements who were criticising him because he didn't speak out against the club. Of course he's not going to do that.

Fiale Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 So did the club and LJ shame them into this, or was it the players idea ? Because one is a very welcome gesture and the other another nail in player/club relationship coffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Wilde Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 It can't be just the players, It is unbelievable that Tammy Abraham is contributing to the refund but Lee Johnson is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted April 6, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I can understand the disappointment, but is this not a dangerous precedent, will there be a number of goals against that triggers a refund, a neutral appraisal of performance, its been a shit season, but whilst it sounds great, to be refunded if disappointed with a result/performance, I wonder where this could lead. Pay more for a good result? Promotion levy on season tickets because it's a good season when a team gets promoted? Extra 5 quid to leave the ground if we win by 3 clear goals, with an increasing scale? All totally impractical and wouldn't happen, but refunds are quite a rare phenomenon.

It just that the players do this and not the Club, which is a great gesture don't get me wrong. I expect LJ did contribute but it hardly reads like this, so it seems a 3 way split to me. Maybe I'm over reading a Tweet but I'm not seeing much 'us' and 'we'. It's like the club ( by this I mean SL and the Board) have taken a step away from this and said to Lee & the players 'it's your mess sort it out' . It just seems mighty weird to me. I can't see the players offering a refund if they felt they had given their all, they held something back and now are 'guilty and embarrassed' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
