If you were in charge of the club today, what would be your priorities? You've given Hurst his budget and trust him to use it wisely, so you you can devote your energies elsewhere. I would..

1 Push hard for the new stadium on the back of promotion back to the Football League
2 Market the club to try and attract substantial investment into the club

Now is the time for our great leader to be very busy. Celebrations over and plan for the future..

New ground should be a priority. It would change the face of the club completely and bring in new fans.

First priority is to get as many season ticket holders as possible signed up. A bit of market research into a pricing strategy that would maximise revenue while not pricing out loyal suopporters. Second, keep the club in the news over the close season by drip feeding news/signings to the press. Then on the commerical front look for sponsors/advertisers and anyone willing to invest, including smaller investors willing to buy shares. The new ground obviously is a long-term ambition but there's probably a limited amount you can do on a daily basis.

The ground has to be a major priority. It'll take this club onto the next level, we seem to have the investment for the ground already. New investment will come when the ground is up and ready.

Why? Put £2 a game on every ticket, season ticket or match ticket. The most it's going to cost someone is £50 ie. the cost of going to one away game.
