The time is now for the "buy in" from our supporters

???

What is this about? We said all the same things 4 years ago.

I am not sure how my "buying in" makes any difference to the score line on saturday.

I don't run out next saturday ( thank god it would be even worse ) The playing group does not even know I exist.

I seriously doubt they read my ramblings on here.

Can you explain how "buying in " effects the way the team plays on saturday

This is not quite correct OD. Me and bro saw you run out after 3 quarter time on Saturday in an old black duffle coat and you started wacking a few players over the scone and pointing at your own white board!

C'mon OD....fess up!

I have a feeling the Dr is leading us up the garden path here. I reckon he posted this thread in the hope we would cover his "short position"! Has no doubt already sold his membership (and his mates have gotten wind and probably done same) and old Demon scarves on e-bay today at top dollar and is now flying off to join up with Kevin and crew at GWS!!

I'm basing this on the definition i just found on "Buy In".... ........

Buy In definition :

To cover, offset, or close out a short position.

I'd be more concerned with a few perhaps "buying out" !

Might be a Sellars market .

Seems like you're a bit "anchored" with your attitude to your own supporters .Can you give us your blueprint on what you want us to do? Offer a clear , concise solution please .

We won 5 flags in 6 years from 1955 to 1960 . Can you tell us what that had to do with the supporters ?

I could give you numerous examples of "Wealthy" sporting clubs with huge manic supporter bases that seldom win anything . Here's a few examples ................The Chicago Cubs , Boston Red Sox , Collingwood , Newcastle United , Tottenham , The New York Knicks and most of the Philadelphia teams (sorry Dappa) .

You're argument is flawed . Our supporters are already buying in to a large extent .

There you go just quoting a few very nice examples where success or lack of it had nothing to do with the size of your supporters base. I agree with that whole-heartily.

To turn this club around we dont need success and visa-versa short-term success may only every be a band-aid.

So we are getting somewhere - think we now both agree on one thing.

Sum Sey, less is More, & others think Size is Everything? What you pay to say, hey?
