    That's not sustainable for a progressive club park as you well know
    There are lots more for the youngsters to do nowadays than in our days that cost the same if not less
    If the product is poor people simply won't buy it whether it's cheap or not

    Absolutely if the directors were to read some of the positive quotes on here we would stay where we are languishing in L2 forever am all for positivety but when associate directors and the manager can't/won't offer any the picture looks bleak
    Our main strategy seems to be "throw the supporters some cheap tickets to keep them quiet" not good enough am afraid put a succesful team on the pitch and you won't have need for cheap season tickets the club should be leading the way on this
    Your analogy with Morrisons drifting back back to the70s/80s is excellent if they did that they wouldn't be in business we as a club are no different

    No we don't day to day. Some, like myself mostly, get involved in areas where we have some experience but day to day- no
    Mostly a way of getting more income for a few perks such as Boardroom access, meal and seatin in Directors Box.

    Even a poundland CEO would do??
    We need a proper CEO with serious experience in running a football club and is able to drive us forward. This isn't like any other industry. It appears as though Baldwin was lined up however that disappeared when he got the big job at the football league. We can't just appoint anyone, it has to be the right person if we are to avoid another Rahic situation.

    Secondly, I don't really understand all the stick Rhodes gets, everyone seems to discount the successes in the Lawn / Rhodes era but that took several years to get there. The real reason Rhodes gets stick is because he doesn't talk publicly (and I can understand why). That doesn't mean he doesn't have a plan / strategy and isn't heavily involved in the daily running of the club - Sparks has basically said as much.

    No real issues with Rhodes for me but I wish we did have someone with a more public persona.

    Great to see the boys back on the pitch and the team, despite the delays in strengthening, is only going to get stronger when they do come in :thumbup:

    It WAS that easy. Had prices been put up to £300 then I highly doubt we’d have sold more than 7000

    If you had an ounce of decency you would apologise for that.
