Todays highlights.
The sausage and chips.

An important highlight!   

The talk in the town is the admission cost and that's it simple as that .Real football fans know the time of day and have lots of connections with other clubs and fans.I was chatting to a QPR season ticket holder in the week and he actually laughed when I told him our pricing structure.

I'm sure that the majority of people think the admission price is too high, but I really don't think it is as simple as that. Major factor maybe, but not the only issue.

For example, I don't think the admission price would effect the lack of sponsorship and such things as low commercial activity.

Some Supporters have spoken about the admission price on other social media platforms and have said they won't attend games. Although I think its unlikely, let's see if the Club  take the supporters opinion on board. If they don't, I hope they don't just ignore their comments.

Commercially, the Club have now appointed a person with experience to head things up, so there could be a big improvement seen very quickly. More money in for the Club, more money for IC to get the right person in to start putting the ball in the back of the net.

People have previously said that off field activity has not kept up with on field progression in recent seasons. I don't think many will disagree with that. An effort to rectify this now appears to be happening, and the Club looks as if its at least trying to get  the right people into the right jobs, and not  just appoint people who are just hanging around.

A bit of a change going on at the moment. Off field now starting to go in the right direction, but on field it seems to be going the wrong way, for now at least.

If he's given what he needs, IC is the man to sort the latter out.

 

IC said he wanted to be competitive against all teams.  Somehow we need to move on to the next stage which has to be finding the back of net.  Hopefully now we have a Commercial Director onboard that will trigger an increase in revenue to bring in someone who can find the back of the net.

I've only just been told about this. Nice to see it happening at last. Is the new guy full time employed by us or just a Consultant?

....throw Joe Taylor in..... someone who is used to scoring......

That's an option that really needs trying soon.

Fully agree, KES.  Bleak prospects, I’m afraid.  Goal scorer needed is the one point that unites us all.  I feel a bit sorry for IC and SC, because there is a lot of luck in football, and they don’t have total control of it. 

I fear we have used up our share of luck in the previous two seasons.

The biggest worry about today ( defeat apart) is just 885 fans turning out.  This must be a massive concern to SC.   Can’t see this figure improving unless we start getting results.

Yes, thats no good for a NL gate, but I think this was always likely to happen. We've been here before. Win and they will come. Lose and they won't, irrespective of what level the Club is at. If we've got all the right people in the right places, from top to bottom, there's plenty of time to turn it around. Lets see what happens in the week coming.


Marriott scored in Barnet's 3-1 win today.

Apparently the Chairman is making a big announcement in today's program.

Are we going to hear news of  the previously mentioned TV documentary?   

Weren’t the club going to appoint a Fan Liaison officer ? Did this ever happen ? I’m assuming not.

Not sure if this was another of Chairman’s ideas or M Hearle’s

Maybe that’s what’s going to be announced in the program tomorrow.

 

Thanks for that I will be in touch ,it  will be on our own website when’s it’s done

Godaddy or Wix site would probably be sufficient for what you need.

Low cost and relatively easy to do. You don't have to be a web designer or IT specialist to set one of those up. Good tutorials available.

Not a 5 minute job but can easily be done in a day. If you've now gone down this route instead of just putting a form on Clubs site, chances are at least one of your 40 members would be capable of doing it. As its not a major job, hopefully your efforts wil come to fruition very soon and you can tick that one off your list.

I'd have thought it would be beneficial to have the application form on the Club site anyway, even  if the fotls develop their own site. The Club will always get more traffic than a fotl's site.

I presume the Club will allow you to do that? 

KES80 I will take you serious when you stop hiding behind a false name  and as for the online application forms there is no one more frustrated than me

Not that old chestnut again?

Malcolm, people have forum names for a number of reasons, and its up to them. I really don't think its just to hide their identity, as most people know who are behind the majority of the forum names.

In addition to that, if they post a "name", who's to say it is actually their real name? Do you think all the names you see on Facebook and Twitter are peoples real names?

If people wish to use forum names, its up to them. If people want to use a made up name, its up to them. If people want to use their real names, its up to them. Thats how the cookie crumbles on this forum and always has done.

To coin a phrase used by a previous Chairman................."If people don't like it, they know where the door is".

Regarding the on line application form. No doubt you have been trying and are also frustrated with it. I fully believe that. If the Club can't be arsed to get it sorted out when the Chairman of their Supporters Club has asked numerous times, it really is asking the question  if there any point to it all? It really shows what the powers that be really think of the FOTL's and the Clubs supporters in general.

Maybe there's an issue bigger than we think, regarding the firm that is paid to do such things on the website.   

Answers, on a postcard to...............

Now that's a dilemma for Grissles. 50p off at the Walks or the Nap. 

I suppose that could depend on the price before the discount is applied.
