I see there is finally a realisation on Poppynet that the reason they still aren't accepting credit cards for season tickets might be of concern - and at least one of them has finally checked the Paypal scenario out and realised it won't cover a non-tangible item like a Season Ticket. Perhaps they should keep a better eye on this thread, as I warned them about it on page 234 - http://www.thediamondsforum.co.uk/viewt ... start=2330

Still it looks like there haven't been many takers, so no harm done. ;) ;)

Hiller Cup at Nene Park last night: The Northants FA booked Nene Park from K*ttering which included the use of the car parks. However K*ttering town then decided to charge people themself for the car to try and make a quick buck. Brackley and Corby fans are not happy!!

Thank god for common sense. After the all the BS and spin that they have been put through this year and what happened to some of us with ST's last year despite all the re-assurances you would have to be absolutely F***ING INSANE to buy a K*ttering season ticket at the moment. That's before you even consider the pricing and the fact they have no idea what league they will be in IF they make it to the start of next season.

They call it 'SUPER' offer, but its not super at all, even the April offer works out at £12.80 a game for a 21 game season, hardly good value when you consider Corby in the BSN charge £11 per game and I guess its even less in the southern prem. Full price works out at £16.42 a game which surely they'd be absolutely insane to charge anything like that for BSN or southern prem, even if they're at NP. With the prices they're gonna charge, I seriously think AFC R&D will have a chance of getting a higher average attendance next season :D

I'm sure the lyrics will be put up by tonight!

Originally written on here by Everyweeker a couple of weeks back, with some adaptations, i think this is it:

When I see the Kettrin', falling down the leagues,
I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough,
All your racist fans are scum and George Rolls is a ****,
I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough,
You're miles from home and you're going bust (or we've all applied for the Gaffer's job)
And I just can't seem to get enough of...... etc

Genius bit of songwriting, sounded great last night. ;)

Very good :lol: :lol:

Oh and back on topic, I see their trust is now offering free membership as 'it is more important than ever for as many fans as possible to join the Trust', once again another parallel with us last year, as wasn't it pretty much this time last year we did exactly the same?
