Thanks for the Bal/Jo distinction. If Jo is the money man, and Bal is his representative, is there anyone working on money-making projects at the ground/elsewhere, or organising raffles, etc?  If so is he or she contactable?

As I'm sure you have realised, what goes on at the Walks stays at the Walks.That's unless a Club official thinks he should share certain things with his mates. i.e. "Don't tell anyone else this but........".

I think it's fair to say that some have noticed a few subtle changes since Bal appeared on the scene and made it his job to go among the supporters and press some flesh. He was certainly showing an interest in a number of things, and gauging supporters opinions on a range of issues, which has got to be a plus.

As far as a raffle is concerned, I don't believe they have anyone that can do it and apparently the last attempt was not very successful. If they have run one in the last couple of years, I've not seen anything about it.
 
On that note, the Trusts Christmas raffle was deemed to be a success. Maybe the Club should engage with the Supporters that run it and pick up a few ideas.

Sorry if I'm going to show my ignorance, but are "Jo" and "Bal" the same person. People seem to be using the two names interchangeably, hence my confusion 😏

Different people.

Joe's the money man, Bal is his representative (apparently).

Who is Bal, and are people able to contact him? 

I would guess you contact him via the club.

If it's by email, I'm sure you would get a reply.

I have long thought that the reason our finances never take off is that we only ever attempt to raise money “in club” or ground on match days.

Not exactly correct.

I think its fair to say there have been "attempts".

Rather surprisingly, Rushall did us a massive favour yesterday by defeating Scunthorpe. That's got to go down as a massive bonus to us.

Shame Buxton and Chester didn't share the points, but guess a Chester win was very slightly better than a Buxton win  :dontknow:

One thing of concern, when you take into account how tight it is at the top is goal difference, with Lynn having the worst of the top 8 play-off contenders.

Having said that, it's nothing that a few wins by a two or three goal margin wouldn't sort out.

The game being off must hit the club very hard with the loss of the money.i hope the club has got it covered as not a lot coming in this month without todays game being off.On the good side it probably means one less lump in the mattress to worry about

Exactly the reason other revenue streams need to be in place, so as not to be so reliant on match day income.

It's not rocket science and should have been the first thing put in place, and not come as an after thought.

What the management doesn't seem to get is that they can't keep coming to supporters for more money for this or that. They need to grab some cash from outside the club as well. But I won't hold my breath on that one...🙄

Previously, the Club didn't have anyone with the ability to do this successfully.

With Bal now on board, a man with a proven track record, they now have someone with the ability to do this.

AL has just  said on Radio Norfolk that it's highly unlikely the game will go ahead tomorrow.

If the Manager can publicly say that, why can't the Club make a decision and get it announced to the Supporters and the Opposition?   :dontknow:

I remember years back when Clubs trying to get an FA cup tie on they would place oil drums all over the pitch fill them with rubbish and set them a light.   :laughcry:  Usually a lower League  Club playing one of the big boys.

Come on Joe, get the under soil heating installed asap!

According to Greg Plummer on the Chinese (we'll steal all your personal Data) Social Media platfrom, the pitch is like Concrete this morning.

If we were in the same position as last season Adam Lakeland wouldn’t be here that’s for sure.  Last season’s disaster was down to a poor appointment by SC and poor recruitment from the man he appointed

Although the "poor" appointment could only work on the budget allocated at the time, which is information none of us are party too.
