Quoted from Mrs Doyle
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 think this is what might be construed as "devaluing the product" which our board (JF) have previously said they won't sanction

As for discounting season tickets for 2018-19, haven't the club already stated that they will be going up in price?

I'm not saying that I wouldn't like to see a lot more fans in BP but the intransigence of the board doesn't seem to allow for this, so as much as you've come up with some creativity as to how things could work, I won't hold my breath

I don't disagree at all just don't think now is the time for freebies.

The whole ticketing price structure should have been updated years ago but the accountant on the board only sees figures, no risk despite this being proven to be so short sighted!


We've got a graduate with a great financial background in the dug out now, maybe he can expose Marley for the charlatan he is.

Is the last game of the season a stupid kick off time like last year? If we do need something to stay up I’d love to know how FGR will cope when thousands of us turn up!


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

I think Mr Jolley has enough things on the pitch to sort out at the moment, let's leave the running of the club to those that know how.

Bit in bold - When are such individuals arriving  

BTW I wasn't suggesting MJ did the books........

Less than 1000 tickets given to away fans at the side of the pitch with no stand no roof... Thousands won't turn up because they won't get in.

There's nothing to spend the money on until the Summer transfer window, and if we don't maximise our chances of staying up, and doing the best we can to retain fans' loyalty, it might be too late. We stand to lose the thick end of a million including the youth team handout from the League if we get relegated.


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.

Agree there Kingston despite us selling our saleable assets in the Jan transfer window probably on the advice of our accountant director trying to ballance the books I think this seasons account figures are going to look a bit shitt to say the least.

I just hope the board doesn't look at the parachute payment for dropping out of the league as some sort of bonus.........surely not.

Call me a skeptic but I have totally lost faith with this board.

If this is a key game, could we not get a big screen at BP?

You mean like the one already at BP?
