Probably square minus one because he will take players with him.
Square one is the same as square minus one I’m afraid. (Move over Rachel Riley) 😉

| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Anyone got any info on how it went tonight ?
Just back from the night. From a Trust point of view it went pretty well in that we were able to merge similar questions and therefore managed to ask just about every question we were sent (if not in the exact form that they were sent), Sadly I don't have the time to either remember exactly what was said or report back but there was some good stuff re:- the new stadium and the clubs engagement with the Council and Freemen to get a workable plan put together. JF accepted that although ideal it isn't necessary to have the training facilities close to the ground and the club are actively looking at other space around the town. He was questioned about whether there was anything the fans could do to move the decision making process on and he felt now was too early but in the future the fans would have a big role to play. The main concerns are that the development has to be right for the club in regards to the ability to increase the amount of income that can be raised for the club, and funding is an issue because there are laws to prevent the Council from building a stadium and simply giving it to the club. On budgets JF said that up until this season he believed that the budget was competitive but he is slightly uneasy that this year's might be a bit below what it should be and the board are seriously considering an upgrade for next season. Season tickets will be on sale before this season ends although it's too early to quote prices yet as the budgetary plans are being worked on at the moment. On the Checkatrade JF confirmed the club voted against the continuation because of the significant possibility that the EFL might shift the goalposts without coming back to the fans. On the near future at B.P. JF outlined the improvements that have been made (toilets/showers (for players) and heating in the Main Stand. He stated categorically that the Main Stand hasn't been condemned. He also outlined the improvements to be carried out including better ladies toilets, disabled facilities and of course the floodlights which he stated wouldn't cost the oft quoted £300K to sort. On exiles JF confirmed that they were still actively looking at packages that could recognise their considerable efforts. The club are currently working with an (unnamed) exile. They were disappointed at the lack of take up on the partial season ticket. The meeting started with the signing (at last!) of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Trust and the club which put into writing the criteria for the relationship between club and Trust and enshrined the premise that although the Trust would continue to help raise funds for the club the Trust place on the club board was no longer dependent on the raising of £30K. A representative from Supporters Direct was present and Dave Roberts advised the meeting that we are only the fifth club in the country to formalise the relationship in such a way. There was a fair bit more but I'm knackered and have to be up at 5.30 in the morning so I'm not going to be able to answer any supplementary questions. The You Tube filming will be live from sometime tomorrow.

We earned £150k from the cup run but he didn't answer what that money was going to be spent on.

| Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same. |

Think you needed to submit questions before the event not after.

To be fair the question was asked but I wasn't in the room to hear the full answer so didn't mention it.

Thanks for the update barra. Looking forward to watching the whole thing, but on the face of it removing the £30k annual donation is potentially a massive step forward.
