fans forum tonight

Quoted from The Grim Reaper

Just got back from work, does anyone want to do a summary of tonight?

Just done one for the OS.
Probably won't be everything but might as well paste it in here.
Apologies if anything is wrong, please put me right if so...

- Fenty stressed the financial difficulties the club is facing with the club losing around £900K per year.
- Thinks there's no case to answer in the Boston court case(suing for £25,000) and would expect it to happen in September.
- Regards new stadium says we're relentlessly pursuing it, it's got to happen in 3 years and "We need to relocate"
- Said Connell wanted to leave in Xmas. Said Connells agent tried to set up a move to Luton.
- No chance of signing Spencer Weir Daley - Hurst.
- Fenty says we need new income revenues, we could triple our attendances, and we are still pursuing a new stadium.
- No narrowing of the pitch - been done for re-seeding.
- Connell payments spread over 3 years, first one will go into the playing budget.
- Rumours about the transfer figure weren't far off.
- Duffy no interest.  Serge, some from Lincoln.  Door not closed.
- 2 players in mind for club captain. Captain needs respect from other players. Decision before start of season.
- Looking to bring one more player in, then it may be onto the loan market.
- Hoping to see the benefit of the youth setup coming to fruition and points to I'Anson, Mulready etc already in the squad and says youth setup is all about 3 points on Saturday.
- Scott says they are using Scout 7, "invaluable tool".
- 1609 season tickets sold so far.
- Parker not involved in the day to day decisions but kept informed over major decisions
- Parker increased shareholding 350,000 + further 275,000.
- Fenty not sure if he's gonna equate or relinquish shareholding.
- Dugout change due to superstition.
- No dialogue about Buckley being Director Of Football - would be "derisory".
- Kempson injury - "hopefully a week 2 weeks could be 3 months if he's fractured his metatarsal again", Scott.

Managers selective quotes.....

Rob Scott

"We're not gonna teach our players to 'simulate'"
"We're in the best job in the world."
"Everyone's got to have elements of patience"
"As many [fans] as you know, drag em along with you"

Q Is automatic promotion realistic given your recruitment over the summer ?
Scott: "Wouldn't be sat here if it wasn't"

Regards Church....

"Technically could be better"
"Good base to build from"  
Hopeful there will be improvement not just technical but on the tactical nouse side of the game.

Paul Hurst

"We came becase we're ambitious and the club are ambitious"
"We'll try to be successful, we're desperate for it"
"I'm good cop. Rob's bad cop"
"We send them out to put in as many tackles as possible"."

Q. Apart from determination and hard work whats the most important thing for a successful team ?
"Team spirit..."

Quoted from flash1

i asked tonight wether the boston chairman had been offered a friendly to compensate them for our new managers,just as i thought jon replied he had but declined the offer,,surely tows travelling army would have generated more than £25,000 which there seeking

Yes Flash, it was a good idea i thought, whether you believe JF when he said he offered that is up to you, but, it  would have  built a few bridges, all the revenue to Boston  and marketed  big style amongst the Town fans that this is what it was for and we would have taken at least 1000 paying  customers at  perhaps £10 to get in, so £10,000 to Boston  instead of a court case  which they may win, but also a court case they may lose and have to pay costs, thus worsening the relations between the  two clubs.
