Mallard do you think we should recall Taylor you watch him play.

This season... no

Let’s just accept that IC knows what he is doing with his players.  Let him have a season of goal scoring at step 5.  Then see where we are with him next Aug

Could it be a case of what's best for the club at the moment, or what's best for Taylor long term?

 :dontknow:

Lots of tough decisions in this football game!

against what MarkHearle was getting.


Whoosh!!!

I guess that post of mine went well over your head!

Difficult to know what to believe with SC.  Maybe he forgets what he says.  On a podcast of his he claimed the running costs of the Club were in excess of a 100k per month.   Now we are full time the cost has dropped 20%.

Mark Hearle must have been on one hell of a salary!   :laughcry:

I’m keen to hear all the positives that came out of last night’s meeting.
On twitter, Cleeve says reduced prices only apply to Grade B games, Grade A games are existing prices.
From Mr Hill’s posting I assumed all prices had been reduced!!

Thanks North.

Is that different than what was said at last night's meeting?

Personally I can see the reason behind that (not that I think its the right thing to do) but yet again we see the same old issue of poor/lack of communication.

Presumably, if Southend and Chesterfield had not already visited, they would be Cat A as well.  :dontknow:

Cat A games are Wrexham, Notts County, Stockport, and Grimsby.

So that woukd be 6 Cat A games.

I can't see that helping to attract the casual/fair weather supporter, as the reduction appears to  only apply to games that they are probably not interested in irrespective of pricing.   :dontknow:

Difficult one to assess  really. Maybe a smaller reduction, but across all games would have been better.  :dontknow:

Here we go again Malcolm.

People are not slagging him off. In fact more than one has said he needs to be given this chance.

Just because people have different opinions than others (although I believe it’s very clear which way that opinion is now swinging), I’ve seen nothing (at least nothing we have allowed through) that fits the title of slagging off.

You have to remember that there are some very worried and concerned people out there who believe they shouldn’t be playing the fiddle while Rome burns. They have seen it all before, some more than once. You can’t blame them for being concerned or voicing their concerns.

Read Caneys post in YLP. It’s very interesting and probably demonstrates the way many supporters feel, irrespective of them using social media to vent their frustrations or not.

It also, as some at the Club try to make out to support their own personal agendas, does not mean they are anti club. Far, far from it!

Mallard, baby steps are definitely not the answer. We need bloody great strides.  You and I both know the current situation is dire.  The business is insolvent with unmanageable debt.  Revenue is below expected and likely to fall even further during the winter months.  Going full time is a colossal drain on funds and coupled with ever increasing costs such as travelling, power etc., the financial future looks very bleak indeed.  My background is financial and I’ve seen this scenario played out many times and is somewhat prevalent with one man bands.  Their ego surpasses reality and they plough on regardless of what is going on around them, generally headlong into the abyss.  Instead of seeking help earlier when the business might have been salvageable, they don’t. They listen to no one. This in my opinion is where we are now.  It might be that Cleeve has something up his sleeve but I would be amazed if he managed to find another investor.  He has already said he would not put anymore funds in.  In my view, he cannot make further extortionate demands on the fans.  Maybe he has some fantastic solution he is going to enlighten you with tonight.  As I’ve said previously, optimism is a wonderful thing in the right circumstances. I’m not sure this is it.

He needs a few more of these anonymous 25k main stand sponsorship deal.

Good work that one.

Malcolm - a reference to George Orwell's Animal Farm

Capitalist Pigs feeding from the trough of the working man and all that kind of thing.

Of course, absolutely nothing to do with football!   :laughcry:

Can't we get back to the serious issues like glass glasses not plastic ones

I thought there would be a reason Grissles went on the FOTL's committee.  Its all clear (as glass) now :laughcry:

I would guess that comes under catering.  :dontknow:

If so, Malcolm will soon be on to it!

Regarding the catering side Iam looking into improving it not that it’s any off my business but if I see away to help the club and more so the fans then I will try and do so ,so watch this space

Malcolm. If its not any of your (or fotl's) business, and you haven't been asked to become involved, my advice is to stay clear of it and not let your enthusiasm get the better of you.

I would think you have set yourself a big enough target with what you have already taken on with the Fotl's.

Just my humble opinion.

B &G what has been said in the past is in the past is there anyway we could look to the future after all it is the future that really matters

.................but Malcolm, its not all in the past. Its still going on. You personally have labelled people that have different opinions than you, moaners and gripers in the past few days.

Its not a case of the future being all that matters. We all need to learn lessons from the past. Some have been prepared to do this, but others have been determined not to allow this to happen.

You know Gordon you are so far off the mark its  comical yes I speak to the Chairman and when I think he’s wrong I tell he’s wrong and he does listen we don’t always see eye to eye ,and regarding everyone on the committee is a arse licker is also very funny just ask Griss if he thinks we are bum kissers Iam sure he will give you a good answer. We are just a bunch of people trying to help and we don’t appreciate being be called all the time by the likes off you spouting untruths all the time and wish you would stop saying a pack of lies it’s getting rather tiresome Rant over

......but its ok for others to label people with different opinions, moaners, gripers and buffoons?   :dontknow:

That's just a example. There are other things that have been said and accusations made both in the past and recently by people that use (abuse) their "positions" at the Club.

These have been continually, not just over the past few weeks, directed at people who also try to help, albeit in a different manner than some would want.

For example why is an experienced journo like Plummer working with Heacham rather than Lynn ?

Apparently likes to go for a paddle and eat his sandwiches on the beach before a game.  :laughcry:
