Very true. I mentioned this earlier in thread. Its not get it right on the pitch or the stadium, both can and should be completed concurrently. Small improvements and maintenance should be priority as the stadium will be in use fir concerts. If promoters see a shit facility they're less likely to rebook

Well 2 are technically billionaires. They found money for the pitch.But that aside we've been on sky most weeks, club will budget for a certain amount of games but we've gone massively over that. Also any club should have a maintenance budget, we need to use.

They've put nothing in. Season ticket sales and what little they pick up from sky is how our club is run. They sell, take a profit and invest the minimal amount. Pointless owners, purely hoping to make their money should we fluke another promotion. Poundland football club. Whilst these 3 are anywhere near our club, it will not be successful. I'd like to win a trophy at some stage of my miserable life! 😂

What was wrong with fans volunteering to make a positive difference for their own club? Shows dedication and pride, and the couple of people I know who took part enjoyed the experience because it was something different. You obsessed knacker.

Ok. So tell me what they've put in?

Well if I remember correctly it was around 8m in the last set of accounts and a loss of around 12m so I’m not sure what profit they would be taking out and as for the selling part, if you mean players then I think since kld came in we have only sold Hume and kimpioka for a few so I can’t really see that generating much money.
 
My matchday experience doesn't involve me spending a single penny at any kiosk for any item. The queues. The exhorbitant price for poor quality ale in a plastic glass. Coffee/tea/bovril/soft drinks/confectionary all massively over-priced.

i can last 210 minutes on stuff i bring with me or do without.

Same here, can't see the point of going downstairs 5 or 10 mins before the end of the half to queue up - you pay your money to watch the game live.

I’m told on here that because you’ve paid you can do exactly as you like, such as leave while the team needs a bit of support with 10 mins to go.
It more about customer rights than support these days.

Not sure many people would put the pitch ahead of their personal comfort or safety.

The pitch upgrade was an essential footballing improvement, like buying a player or expanding the recruitment team. KLD has definitely had impact in that sense. Why would he not follow the same upgrade strategy across the board?

If our safety was compromised, they'd not be granted a safety certificate every year. Yes the concourses are small and can be annoying, but its clearly within the realms of what it deemed as safe. I dont disagree with opening up the doors, and having an outside area for smokers, somewhere additional to stand/drink etc - but I dont agree there is a risk to personal safety.
