From what I've seen fans telling playes how they felt. Johnson telling them we all need to stick together. Neufville.tells them to Fuck Off. Not seen any footage of Tilley but he'e been accused of the same. Harbottle playwd a blinder getting everyone away

You don't become a pro-footballer if you can't pass a ball etc.

What was the furore with Johnson about? Any non-FB/TikTok/Insta footage?

Mind you, not sure what channels the club could take to reach me these days, with no local media worth its salt. Cost to benefit of doing something like a leaflet drop would be horrendous. How does any business reach "curious but passive" people these days?

Partly of course it's me being an old git and my mind failing to apply inflation to perceptions of "value for money" since I was a kid. But then I paid £20 or £21 the other day to watch Sutton v Halifax. Different strokes for different folks: no atmosphere but I didn't have to worry about arranging ahead of time so I was sat by my friends, and I can't imagine the football was £14 worse in quality. For Wimbledon, I think the bit thing is my perception is that it'll be impossible/difficult to get a ticket, which reduces temptation to keep an eye on things. Plus of course there's zero profile for the club in the local community for a "vaguely interested local resident"

TBK - looking forward to hearing about Sean's review as and when.

Sav - I completely agree that the strategy will contain many elements but it still needs to be seen as one project to remove losses and, most importantly, to be regularly monitored on that basis.

Alan IOW, JJ should have had the team in at 7.00am today and made them watch that game through four or five times before sending them home to consider their futures at professional footballers. No point in getting them out on the training ground because they can’t suddenly learn to pass to someone on the same team or to not keep giving possession to the opposition. I’m guessing we don’t practice free kicks and corners after watching our recent attempts, so I think the problem with not having any belief in our ability to win a football match is the one JJ needs to address. Not sure if we didn’t have a game plan yesterday or if the players were unable to implement it. Support was superb yesterday on that unforgiving meccano Monstrosity but the team didn’t respond.

Sav, Sean took the cost review on and is going though everything line-by-line. I wish there were easy answers but it's a highly competitive loss-making industry and we can't change that by ourselves. I'd love to get all the League 2 chairmen in a room and agree to make all new contracts 25% less!

The Titanic analogy is quite appropriate but not for your case. It only sank because it was rushing in dangerous conditions to impress people.

Mornin' Peeps, just to comment on the training days mentioned by KD yesterday, he has highlighted perhaps an issue that needs looking at. The last two matches alone have enough about them to provide non-active training to be involved. Replay the matches in full, and pull apart the unforced errors and poor decision making by players, even if, no scratch that, when a few fingers get pointed, it will get it out of the system. Two games running Joe has hit uncatchable balls to the forwards, not only giving up the hope of an attack, but up the possession too. Owen hits free kicks straight in front of goal making the keeper job easy, Tilley ditto. There are percentage lessons all round. Notts county's first goal against yesterday is the trend footballers have, we are as guilty as too, the dishonour of knocking the ball out and regrouping, but it allows teams to keep their shape. Its simple stuff, stuff where if we knock it out at their corners, they have to start again from the back, whilst giving ours a few moments to have a reset and press the opposition higher at up the park.

Yeah £34 for non entertainment like over the last few months is not value for money.

If you went to a gig or theatre and paid £34 and got repeated duff performances, you would ask for your money back😂

Fans owned is taking the titanic way forward, some can see it,some are blinded by the romance of pretending to be owners..

I think there are a few prevailing winds in our favour that could help the financial situation: Elinor contract is up soon (general suggestion is we will do better from the next contract/contractor). The pre-funded stadium sponsorship is used up and we are now back at market rates with Cherry Red. Reducing the 'child ST loop hole' and a few other ticketing things will work without pissing off too many more. Sooner or later we will do something with the third-floor. The ticketing system seems to basically work and people are getting used to selling-back unused STs. Our club shop and merch team seem better than ever.

£34 is at the lower end of the scale for a live event. The cost for music gigs especially has doubled or trebled since Covid. Theatre has always been very expensive. For 90 minutes of 'entertainment' (OK, I know) £34 is not way out of line.

whether, not when either 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Relegation is always a threat for every club regardless of finances. Look at Carlisle! We've Iooked and played like a team that thinks it's safely in the play-offs for a while now. Statistically they're probably right.

£34?! Was kind of thinking I should do a game at some point; maybe not at that price.

The bulk of the annual operating loss can be covered by the obvious and simple measure of raising ticket prices by a few quid. I know some people don't like this idea or don't want to hear it or think someone else should pay instead. But that will happen because it has to.

Per annum! Out traditional supporters may cough up but newbies won't. If you want a fan owned club you have to pay for it. Don't think that was mentioned at the set up! We have moved forwards and at the moment we cannot fund it with our present funding model.

If we somehow make the playoffs, I still think we need to get right behind them - it’s really hard to tell when either we are going to be home or away in the second leg, but the latter seems perhaps more likely* - not sure whether it makes much difference… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Where was the statement RK?

Per annum

The statement about members donating £1m appears to have vapourised - if that is the strategy, there needs to be a way of facilitating this
