16 k is still better than any league 1 crowd. And if we do as well as we should expect them to come flooding back !

Reading other boards etc I would estimate Forest are going to lose around 1500 season ticket holders this time round.
Coupled with another 1k+ who will not turn up regular for match day tickets.
Thats a nice hole in nigels pocket and sends out a clear statement of intent that fans are turning their backs on the shambolic running of the club, in particular the short sighted limited investment made available.
I can understand all the younger/older fans getting tickets at ridiculously low rates.. Makes good economic sense.
My renewal though was £450+ !!! Big difference. Many of the fans who have turned their backs will be similar to me, fans who are expected to stump up a serious amount of cash for a product that is flawed.
The last few renewals will be purchased around now as it monthly pay day time.
I will pick off the first 2/3 home games while a T-shirt can still be worn but when the long hard, dark, damp Winter sets in I think Radio Nottm sat in the conservatory with a bottle of fine red will do fine. :cheers:
Perhaps a few more long weekend breaks around away fixtures.
Cheltenham was great last season. :wacko:

Do I sense a bit of mellowing and perhaps even a touch of optimism for next season Kilburn?

A quick question.
If we get promoted to the Championship next year, will you get a season ticket for the 07/08 season?
Because if the answers yes then you're pathetic, and as a true fan you should sit through the bad times as well as the good times. I mean, it can't get any worser for forest at the moment so it must be getting better?

Now thats the whole can of whoopass question!
Would this be the bad times that have lasted the best part of a decade??
Fans, including me, will return (In a season ticket capacity) when ambition that matches the size of the club returns.
I do not consider myself to be "Pathetic". It all boils down to individual make up. I'm not the type of person who is happy to settle for second best.
I don't think I'm special or different. But what I do have like many others is the mental strengh to make a stance and stick by it.
I'm not on my own.

I don't agree with your overall message but I do agree that to call others pathetic over something like this is a bit far.
If i'm honest I would use the word fairweather but it's everyones choice when they want to go.
I still don't know if I am to get one next year as I am in serious financial trouble but if it can be sorted while they are still on sale I will still be getting one.

I'm moving to France.
70/80k for a farmhouse in one acre!
Cheap fuel, wine. 85mph speedlimits with no cones etc.
Love it. ;D
The only person with me tonight is Mr Haut Brion. :cheers:
Every time we go Mrs Sedge and I play the would we move or should we buy property out there......circumstances beyond our control have put paid to that for the forseeable future, but it is a wonderful country to visit.
Early part of this month we spent in South Brittany enjoying our break, despite the weather.

eh poule, lache-moi les baskets (useful if yuo have been caught speeding)
Kilburn Red said:
Yes the language is a huge problem for me too. I went into a shop and distracted spoke to the shopkeeper, very Monty Pythonesque.......What I actually said translated was ''Hello I am in France '', in all fairness the shopkeeper agreed with me.
Mrs Sedge was uncomplimentary about it, mentioning words like fool to me. ;D

His one page column in The Sun today is so spot on as he sums up Britain in a nut shell.
