Mansfield Tickets

Quoted from Les Brechin

Surely it was pretty obvious that it was going to be announced that season ticket holders would have first dibs so why didn't you give him your season tickets on Tuesday anyway?

I have no foresight whatsoever.

Yes you must  

Quoted from HotToddy

VAST MAJORITY?

Comfortably the vast majority. We had our lowest competitive gate ever. Fans were also canvassed by the Trust and the vast majority were against the inclusion of B teams.

Realistically how many extra people will go to the Donny game? I cannot imagine many will. I would have thought the 1,600 tickets will be gone or mostly gone by then. Would be a big 2 fingers to the idea of using it to boost the Donny attendance.

It is a cynical and disrespectful move by JF and the club. Makes his statement in the summer about understanding the feelings of the fans about this farce of a tournament no more than lip service. Proves that the divide between the club and fans is just getting wider.

Just remember this when you're about to type that you'd rather a fan of GTFC run the club rather than anyone else. Andrea Radrizzani, is not a lifelong fan of Leeds United, but since he took over the club in the summer, he has galvanised the whole city behind him. He gets Leeds so much more than JF gets GTFC, and that's in three months.

JF has been in charge for a very long time now and looks like he's going to be in charge for the rest of my lifetime. The Checkatrade farce and the way he uses the Trust, it smacks of a mini dictatorship. We need a fresh start and a leader who the fans feel are on their side just like Radrizzani.

Yes I know, JF stuck his £2-3m in to save the club, but that's hell of a long time ago. He still owns that figure in share value and should recoup that figure in any sale. For that kind of money I think 15 years is about long enough to call the shots at a football club in this day and age.  

I don't think the figure he's put in gives him the moral right to be in charge for as long as he sees fit. It could be another twenty or thirty years of our club being run the JF way. Does that fill anyone with an iota of excitement? I'm sure JF does the best he can, but is it good enough any more? And is it right for one man to shape a community's football club in his own vision over several generations long of supporters for a couple of million quid which is dwarfed by the fans contribution to the club over that period?

All these years later, he still acts like it's us and them and this decision regarding ticket stubs just proves it. We deserve better than this and we need to be pushing for change. I've spent a couple of decades being frustrated, not entertained or excited watching my club, feeding on scraps and the thought of twenty more years of this fills me with dread.

We desperately need new investment and thinking at the club, and if JF loved the club more than running it, he should be out there trying to bring fresh cash and blood in and have the good grace to loosen his stranglehold. If he did that, I'd thank him for his efforts and for saving my club. I know it's the Grimsby way to question who, why, what and where, change could be a negative step and all that. But why are we always so fearful of change and so inward looking? Do we always have to be so well.. Grimsby?

l will never fall out of love with GTFC but I'm seriously running out of patience with a club that never gives me any encouragement to retain that spark. I need it to give me something back rather than it just relying on my loyalty because it knows I'll always be there, one of the hundred or so who went to Carlisle midweek after the Auto Windscreens final in 98 or travelling twice in a week to Colchester after the first one was waterlogged.

Whilst I agree with much of what you say I dont think using Leeds both as a club and City is a realistic as a comparison to GTFC is a realistic one.

Do we need fresh investment and ideas? Yes, is anyone on the horizon? I doubt, so we are stuck with the current regime for a while yet I'm afraid.

Bigdog has it right IMO

Ask yourself Why nobody is on the horizon to invest Herts. Again, imo, it is the same as to why we are still at BP. Once they see through the initial charm offensive, it is impossible to work with our 'leader'. Councillors, investors and many business people all say the same

It is a good comparison not in size but in action and sentiment scaled down to a club of our size..

Yep, let's all just shrug our shoulders for another twenty years.

There will be no better time to attract inward investors and a broader range of talent and ideas when JF hopefully delivers planning permission for the new stadium...

He should be out there trying to attract those kind of people and take a side step rather than retaining all the power far distant into the future. His onfield record as a "chairman" in factual terms is much more of a failure than a success I'm sorry to say knowing he's put a lot of effort in. Sometimes effort is not enough whether on the pitch or in the boardroom.

Quoted from 75

I appreciate the club were probably waiting on allocation from Mansfield, but it would have been helpful to announce this before last nights game. One of my mates will collect everyones season ticket and go during his working day, it now becomes a pain during the working week to get our season tickets to him. Would have been easy if we could have done that Tuesday night.

Can they be ordered online, handing over the ST stubs on collection?
