    whatever the pro's and con's of our season and its certainly been a season of two halfs we have achieved what we set out to do with 2 games left of the season

    job done for me, lets enjoy the feeling of another season in the second tier of the best football league in the world and leave the dissection and hatchet jobs till another day....

    If the target was to make next season's job twice as difficult then we've over achieved.

    If people like Jay and Spartacus are ****ed off then we are in a very sorry state.

    but he's alienated a helluva lot of supporters, surely thats not job done.

    I appreciate what your saying, but how many will not renew STs in the summer unless something drastically happens. We're not talking about alienating the bandwagon jumpers here but the hardcore of our support. Some serious PR required asap imho.

    I sincerely hope thats not the case

    We had a great first half of the season - big tick there
    but the second half has been the worst half season we have had to endure for a very long time. We will definitely finish with our lowest points total since returning to this league
    and probably only be saved by Portsmouths 10 point deduction

    I really hope no one in the club thinks the clubs performances since Christmas have been acceptable - because very few fans do

    Its funny Hill only mentioned the being an overachievement to stay in the Championship after a terrible start to the season, it was never mentioned prior to the season starting.

    Re: but he's alienated a helluva lot of supporters, surely thats not job done.

    First thing they should do is scrap the 'early bird discount' that isn't a discount (although I guess they can't because some have already renewed). It's up there with the most stupid things they've ever thought up - although it probably says everything you need to know about the club's cashflow. Trouble is it will almost certainly backfire because it appears almost calculated to annoy long-time ST holders such as myself who take exception to paying 2 months early, while the extra you have to fork out to pay at the normal time is just enough to make you feel like telling them to shove it. Must be the only business in this austerity-bound country deliberately putting barriers in the way of existing and potential customers.

    I don't like picking on you in the way a lot of people on here seem to do, but if you would avoid the use of Dutch it might help me to understand your point.
