Oxford City Saturday

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.

Cleeve takes a lot of stick for all that is wrong at the Club.  Now with Bal onboard as the front of house for Jo then maybe people should be asking him for some of the answers.

Rather frustrating to have the information from Oxford before we could get our xxxx together 😾

As much as I appreciate the improvement of some news, rather than none, it still makes us look pretty amateurish. Buck stops with Cleeve or whoever the latest puppet master is, to get the news to the media guy/gal.

With social media being "instant" these days, the back of house needs to get with it.

Many clubs at this level or below seem to have things sorted for match days and get entertainment revenue from social events to bolster the funds.

Lynn announced it at the exact same time as Oxford?

Information concerning game went out at same time on both clubs twitter accounts.

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.

Afterthought seems to be the norm rather than the exception. Reactive rather than proactive?

Now we have the safety net of Jo ( Bal) we don't have to worry so much about cash flow issues. Do we ?

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 

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.

Who is Bal(Jo), and are people able to contact him?  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".

[Mallard]

OMG haven't there just !! Where to begin.  From day one SC has told us all about his lastest money making ideas to both raise the profile of the Club and to make it self sufficient.  The only one that appears to have worked is getting Jo onboard.  I think the best suggestion was the summer concert gigs that were going to held at the ground with the suggested idea of AC/DC playing a warm up gig on their way to a World tour. 

Anyone else can think back to anything better ?

I see on the former players page Joe Taylor has signed a long contract with Huddersfield Town, please tell me we arranged a sell on fee? Or will we get nothing?

I would guess you contact him via the club.

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

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).
