Title: Its the staff I feel for if the club goes under
Post by: Bushey Boy on Monday, November 26, 2007, 16:17:15
Not the directors, but the shop staff, ground staff and the other people who put a lot of effort into this club.

This board may possibly create havoc to so many peoples lives.

Bang out of order

I feel the same way, i feel for the players after Sturrock has deserted them and i would still feel sorry for them if we went bust but they have plenty of money to survive on the staff don't and they would have to try and get another job.

The board however well they wouldn't give a toss would they if anything they would laugh, they don't care about this club or anyone else as has been proven over the years.

fuck that, they get paid to do a job.  Mugs like us actually pay money to be part of the fiasco that is STFC.

I've been made redundant a few times - no-one was particularly sorry for me.

Swindon's got one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, I wouldn't be feeling too sorry for the employees, they'd get new jobs.

It's the clubs supporters, myself included, that I'd feel sorry for, although 'feeling sorry' doesn't quite do it justice...................

IF it happens, it is only us fans that I will feel for.

The players could find new clubs, and the staff could find new jobs, but we (Or at least most of us) simply will never find a new club to love.

I would feel sorry for them because I;ve been made redundant and it's not nice, but in this situation it's worse because it'll be via liquidation rather than a tasty pay off.  They'll just stop getting paid one day.

That's if it ever happened though, it probably won't.

Spot on fella.

We will no longer have any interest in football. Infact, i'd become bitter and hate football.

I don't think everyone should assume that the players won't have any financial problems, and will just walk into another club.

Most of our lot probably don't earn more than 50-75K a year, and even though that's a good wage, when you earn at that level you spend up to it. They'll all have mortgages to pay, and will be relying on their salaries to pay them. And there's dozens of pro's without contracts out there right now. They list them on the pFA website.

I was thinking that, 50 - 75 doesnt mean you save say 20 - 30 a yeah and can last a few years.

I got ID'd when I was buying a box of wine in Bristol last week. Didn't have any, got asked my date of birth. Told the check out lady 26/5/1984. She Looked up at me and let me have the wine.

I'm pretty sure once you've asked you're not supposed to change your mind. Must have been my smooth looks and nice smile.

Not my fault I don't have ID. Not going to carry my fucking passport about with me and drivings for fools and non-eppies and people who can stay sober.
