Title: How confident I am of staying up.
Post by: dave.woodhall on May 09, 2013, 04:39:12 PM
Anyone who takes out or renews an H&V sub before the end of the season gets their money back if we get relegated. Can't say fairer than that, can I?

I like the sound of that.  I may well make a return.  I love a bargain (which of course it isn't / won't be)

Are there hidden terms and conditions? Can't see you parting with your money

None whatsoever. Anyone who takes out a sub between now and the end of the season gets their money back if we get relegated.

So you're willing to give them their money back but not a free subscription.

I knew there was a catch.

I'm so confident I gave up smoking today. I am looking forward to two stress free games and a good summer in the transfer market.

In other news, the Greeks were dead impressed with the delivery of a big wooden horse.
Not a comment on our survival, (cos I'm looking forward to Premiership domination next season) or the good summer, but more about the lack of stress!

(I know it was the other way round but I thought I would reverse it for the next time...no it probably doesn't work, on reflection!)

I double checked this time before replying to you, Louzie.

You could well be right. To be fair, if a wooden horse had appeared when Norwich equalized I would not only have gladly wheeled it round the back of the house between drags, I would have got it a bowl of water to drink whilst I lit up another and pressed my nose against the window to see if the score had changed.

Just got a lovely image from your description.

The best of luck giving up smoking, Steve!

Can I do this? Someone explain it to me as I'm new.

I'm assuming if I donate to the forum, I get a donator's account and if we get relegated, I get my donation back? Correct?

What benefits do donators get and how much is the fee?

Cheers.

No. This is a fanzine subscription.

You can still donate to the forum though in order to access the GM section.

St George was Turkish and I liked the Three Degrees :)

The Turks didn't migrate to Anatolia until roughly 800 years after St George was martyred.

The man was a Lydian or perhaps a Cappadocian given how he is depicted ridding an 'oss. Ethnically and culturally a Hellene.

I have a degree and had a picture of St George in a Norfolk churches stained glass window as a question for its significance in the 100 Years War once. Good times.

Thank you Aftab.

By my calculations my annual saving would probably pay for a fair few season tickets and counselling for Mr Kelly's Traumatic Pub Stress Syndrome.

This managed to be mentioned in the WM phone in on Friday night by a Wolves fan as an example of how much better Villa look after their fans than Wolves do. I fear the dingle concerned may not understand the concept of 'fanzine'

As it was Charles Ross, editor of A Load of Bull for twenty-odd years, I think he does.

I had no idea who it was, but I remain completely baffled by how he could make the comparison he did. If Villa were coming out with statements of intent about reduced price season tickets if we go down, or if he'd offered free subscriptions to his fanzine, that may form a basis to his gripe with Wolves about their ST prices.
 He may have a case that Wolves should be looking after their fans better, but as it is, your offer is completely irrelevant to his debate.

He was saying that supporters of another club could do it better than the Wolves.

Post by: amfy on May 12, 2013, 12:13:25 PM
He was saying that the H&V have offered money back on subscriptions should we go down, but that the silence from Wolves is deafening now that their 'early bird' season tickets have turned out to be for League One. I certainly heard that as a daft comparison, but ho hum.
