    I’d like to know what Rupp’s plans are for the new season. Is he intending coming more often than previously or still ‘watching’ from afar?

    Any update on the help provided by the Supporters Clubs paying towards services etc

    Are we using the big screen to the best of its ability? Weren’t we told that goal replays would be seen, highlights from other games etc? Not saying we aren’t, but is there more we could be using it for?

    Don’t really know. What do others do with theirs?
    Profiles of players (especially away team),
    Updates on injured players
    Updates on progression of youth players
    Highlights/goals from reserve games
    HT footage of best historic games we played

    Rod I emailed Mick Shackleton and EFL.com yesterday. The match highlights on the official website are not working and nether have replied.
    On Saturday we subscribers to City I Follow had no commentary just a recorded message apologising. I contacted Radio Leeds after the game and they have promised to check the link for future matches. However please could someone at the club also liaise with I Follow to sort out the problem.?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks for C&P the article @bantamdave41:thumbup:

    I hope that @bantam2708@bantam2708 @The Original EB@The Original EB and @BoingBoing@BoingBoing are happy with the summary that Jason has put together.

    One thing the club is not going to do, as l understand it, is to clarify the potential number of away tickets that are going to be available. They often receive them in batches.

    The issue about the number of tickets for Grimsby was discussed. It was confirmed that the figure was around 1850. I pointed out the comment in the ‘Football Grounds Guide’, ‘For teams with a larger following then the whole of the stand can be given to away fans increasing the allocation to 2,200.’ https://www.footballgroundguide.com/leagues/england/league-two/blundell-park-grimsby-town.html#awhat-is-it-like-for-visiting-supporters It was suggested that the Police may have requested that there are segregation areas, which reduces the capacity. Additionally the kick off time being brought forward may well be a Police based decision.

    There was a discussion about the need to reduce the number of Away Tickets for City supporters. This was a factor that arose given the behaviour of some City fans, at venues like Rochdale, where missiles and flares were thrown at opposition fans. This behaviour then leads to advice being given to clubs to increase the segregation zones, which reduces the seats available!!

    City currently have about 850 seats available for away fans in the Midland Road stand and will not open the Dallas Stand unless there were huge demand, as there are all the additional costs.

    I also raised the issue about the use of the Screen, some problems arose because of the technological misfit with the Liverpool Media engineers system, which will hopefully have been resolved. In respect of goal replays again this is an EFL issue and out-with City’s control. I asked if highlights of the last away game could be shown and also some ‘heritage’ footage of past seasons goals.

    I am sure @Jason McKeown@Jason McKeown will add/correct anything if my recollection is wrong.

    Hope that helps.

    Interesting on the hot water tank. Clearly not worked for years given our larger crowds since cheap ticket deal.

    I'm particularly drawn to the fact that circa 300 extra ST/Flexi were sold on the back of the Liverpool game. Very positive news.

    Moreover, the statement by Jason... and it is to the club’s credit that they are prepared to meet and engage with fans media groups. No question went unanswered, and this greater level of transparency is valued. Again positive news.

    Stepping stones. But the direction is correct.

    There's a copyright issue that's probably not really applicable here unless Jason is feeling super fussy. The main thing is that it stops traffic visiting the WOAP site and leaving comments or seeing their other articles.
