The whole point on this if everything is done right we have shown in the fairly recent past that we can do well and progress without fleecing fans that many clubs do.

 

It's not about fleecing. Nominal price increases explained and outlined. Name me one other business or commodity that hasbt gone up in price in the best part of a decade

 

I'd expect change from a tenner too

 

You should see some of the ale houses @Bigrod frequents .

 

Nowt wrong with that. When I need a good traditional ale House off my patch, then @Bigrod is definitely my go to man.

 

So imagine the uproar the minute we get promoted to Championship if prices were immediately doubled. Fans would complain they were being exploited or priced out of the game in favour of wealthy glory fans

 

Let's give em away. Fill those seats.

 

Sod bringing more money into a cash strapped club, free tickets for all.

 

Heres a simple one. Every pound we take through the tills via food and drink and merchandise, an outside company takes a slice of that pound. Also, for every shirt and top sold only a small percentage of that is actual profit. Now, every pound added to the cost of a season ticket is a pound into the clubs coffers, no one takes a chunk out of it. See, as a club we'd be better off if season tickets were made £200 and because of that extra 50 quid no one buys a shirt. Money through the turnstiles is more important than money spent in the concourse or club shop.

 

They used to disagree. We have a new sheriff in town, one with more ambition in his left testicle than the other one had. And he's gonna run it like a proper business.

 

Now, it may have been noted, but I have been rather vocal (trying? Evening @wetherbywhaler ) on hot water toilet facilities.....

If it means STs rising, to finance whether partial or fully, such a project, that's fine in my book.

We have to be sustainable to improve facilities both on and off the pitch.... Oh and the pitch!

 

Twice apparently .. !!

 

Sounds good

 

yeah, T&S suggest that AOC will go to RB (on a permanent basis ? Is anything permanent at this place though?). FCD was caught out against Southend as well as Exeter - not his fault, done well for 18, but what happens when Hosannah is back? Will Hosannah play for us again anyway? Think they risk disruption by moving AOC to RB - I think he's been solid alongside Paudie. Weak link in the back four for me is Connor Wood - does he want out? Staunton should be getting close now, but they won't rush him back (I hope). Sutton and Watt midfield, but Watt has to shape up soon, or I would be in favour of trying AOC in that role. Cooke, Evans and Crankshaft (or Billy if fit), with Rowe spearheading. Thought Stevens was anonymous when he's played, and I'm beginning to see Cook as backup only. Just my opinions. Couldn't tell who was on the pitch on Tuesday.

 

Vernam will play wide in front of both Evans and Crankshaw

 

The middle of the pitch at Exeter was awful which made it very hard to play the way we have been. And with no centre forward it was difficult to bypass it with no one to hold the ball up. We also missed Clarke who as well as linking up play well tackles back .
Hopefully we won’t have that problem on Saturday agains a good team

 

As I said earlier our game is that quick inter passes in midfield which wasn’t possible. Boden was the difference in that match

 

I have us losing this im afraid. The two wins out of three were against bottom three sides and we were cut open by Exeter who id put Salford in the bracket as.

1.3

 

A judgement at the end of the season is right. But there's no reason to go into any home game in this season, without going out for the win. We've invested in the squad well during January. If the season started now, I'd expect this squad to be capable of challenging for the playoffs.
