Right Fenty time to get your brain in gear.

From now until seasons end at home half price entrance give the Osmond end to town fans put the away fans in compost corner.

Offer existing season ticket holders a discount for next season.

We need to give Mike Jolley and the team the twelfth man, pack the park and sing our hearts out.

Jolley as got a massive task we need to close ranks and help him.

I'd agree with the bit in bold apart from when we host Notts County where I'd give them the normal space as we'll make more money. Apart from that we need to do anything and everything to fill up the ground wit Town fans

Oh and by the way I'd allocate zero to Stevenage!

Point taken Herts but drastic times need drastic action I honestly think if we go down again it could be for a long time longer than six seasons.

What is the point ? We will be relegated next season if not the season after . JF has proved that he can't get success in the FL with his budget constraints so what makes anyone think it will change ? . As a supporter you have to accept that under JF at best we will be a mid table lg2 team .

Mrs Doyle, you've come up with more positive ideas in one message than the board have in 10 years, suggest we get you into the commercial dept.

The point, is that your last sentence is better than being a non-league club again.

If people want to continue wanting change in the boardroom leave it till May. Far better to be effecting change for a L2 club than a conference club. And our support might help, and it could well intimidate opposition and influence referees.

I fully agree with Mrs  D.

We have to do everything we can to avoid going down,

Give Jolley every support we can,

THEN

Next season if you are still with us Mr Fenty and we are still a league club,

Take a good look round all the other league clubs and see how many of them are in debt ?

You will find a lot of them are millions and millions in the red ,

BUT

They have a decent team on the pitch and fans are happy to see their team play.( unlike here)

So please allow Mr Jolley to have a fair bit extra in his budget then you will not only have a winning team but a happy fan base as well.

You never know we might make loads of money ( like Lincoln ) by having a cup run and by winning lots of games the gates will increase so your outlay will be more than repaid.

OR

Offer all fans ticket discounts for remaining home games.  Everything counts.  Short-term financial spend towards helping us stay up.  Free tickets for schools.

Realistically can't see that happening and I personally wouldn't... What I would do though is offer the Osmond to home fans and only give PV the corner and do tickets at £5 and £10 for all parts of the ground

Cheap tickets (and something like a free drink (and an apology) for the long suffering season ticket holders) next week for definite. As low as possible - I’d say a fiver but we’d probably be shooting ourselves in the foot with that if we were to lose again. Onwards from then we’re away for two weeks so we’ve got time to work on something inventive. What about something like if you pay full price for the Cheltenham game you get in for Chesterfield for a tenner? The problem being we have to meet league rules about promotions.

We need to find a good balance between backing the team in numbers but being able to finance a new team in the summer. If the price goes down on Saturday you exiles better be coming home to back the team!
