I mean, to be fair, now that the negative feeling of our poor end of season run has faded, the clubs in a decent place right now, the youth academy is working well, management is stable, transfer policy probably as good as it can be with current funding.
I do think marketing is a big one, we had a phase where it was improved, when we did the sticker books and then that guy left did he not? I think we've been poor at using momentum to build the fanbase and thats probably throughout our history not just 2016.
Other than that unless a stadium move happens, then it's just about trying to modernise and continue to be sustainable

We had issues with empty seats outnumbering the fans ,the board came up with the Junior Imps Club.
Think at the time it was a tenner for an adult and kid it worked and brought in extra revenue that was much needed they had their own area in the ground.
It had a two fold effect of boosting revenue & attendances.
No idea what you would call it Junior Town club JTC?

Much as it grieves me to say it we have a lot of catching up with Lincoln on and off the field, for example, think you play Sheffield Wednesday, Stoke and Forest and my mate buys a ticket for all three games for £12!

Mind not sure a City Centre shop will be profitable and maybe depends on rent that has to be paid but certainly worth a punt.

We could keep the Fish town theme going, whilst at the same time keeping it fun: bring a squid for five quid; bring Uncle Mick for ten crabstick;

I'll go back to bed.  










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.
