If and when a new board come in if you could encourage them to make one realistic change to current practices what would it be?

For me personally it would be shelve the cost of the Junior Season tickets and put them back to being either free or token payment with a paying adult.

So at least 4 people think the cost of junior season tickets is correct GTFC being the most expensive in League 2?

Exactly!  Clean sweep for me.  From top to bottom, total root and branch review of what's working, what's not working and where we can improve.  

Small and relatively easy changes such as better ticketing initiatives are, in all honesty, what I would expect as a bare minimum from any owners/chairman/non-chairman/custodians of the club.  That said, they're still absolutely necessary and should be implemented as soon as possible.

Is that what people are saying?  Or are they saying it isn't the 'one change' they would make?

I'd agree with the view that a dynamic CEO should be appointed as priority.  I suspect that any forward looking CEO would want to win the hearts and minds of the young generation to build a new generation of supporters.  Token or zero cost youth / kids tickets is a no-brainer in that respect, especially if it's part of a wider strategy to extend the base of active supporters.

Totally concur with you .It appears to me Town have a lot of potential quick wins. I don`t want everything viewed as a stick to beat the current regime with but we need a huge change of direction of the pitch and a dynamic or even competent CEO would surely get the ball rolling.

I worry any change will come too late to really push ST sales and that`s a shame for all concerned.

I don't think any regime change will come about in time for it to impact on this season, definitely not the start.  

People have already bought season tickets for the coming season so it would be unfair to change any pricing structure (season tickets or matchday tickets) now.  Best we can hope for is a feel good factor from a quick change of the guard in the coming weeks which gives a boost to interest and sales.
