Future of the club, what do we want?

Jason Stockwood has said once the takeover is completed he will be seeking a broader conversation with all supporters about the future of the club.

Where do you start after the mess they have been left with?

Hopefully a return of our once great reputation, enabling us to attract talent again, away from the penny pinching antics that Fenty brought.

Improvement in training facilities and development towards a community stadium that we can be proud of.

Training facilities is a huge one IMO.

Ours is currently a field with a tiny building in the middle of nowhere with regards motorway access etc.

This is the place players and staff spend 5/6 days a week at, its  a huge selling point for players

The available financial are the key to what we can do.  

My Top 10 wish list...

1. Cheaper season ticket/match ticket prices for under 18s and families.

2. Better match day experience (improve catering & toilet facilities etc..)

3. Improved online ticket sales (e-Tickets to avoid queuing to collect tickets)

4. New stadium confirmed with timeline for delivery set out.

5. Treating fans with respect rather than a cash cow to milk.

6 .Improved training facilities (possibly new training ground along A180 corridor to make more convenient for players)

7. Improved treatment of employees (GTFC have reputation among players as a bad club to work for)

8. Commitment to have no betting sponsorship at GTFC and object to Sky Bet deal in EFL meetings.

9. Commitment to only having proof read Club Statements issued within office hours (i.e. not at half past midnight)

10. John Fenty to be executed on the pitch prior to first home game in National League if we are relegated this season.

Think you got your wish list upside down

Think you got your wish list upside down  

And maybe remove the proviso that we have to be relegated for it to happen as well?

I don't think the new owners will start spunking loads of cash about, and I'm fine with that. An end to the penny pinching false economy approach, and showing a modicum of ambition/funding to genuinley improve all aspects of the club year-on-year would be fine by me.

It would also be nice to have a core group of players that you feel an affinity with, rather than a revolving door of loan players and 12 month contracts and total squad overhauls every year. I know many on here don't agree, but I think Hurst has proved previously that he can deliver year-on-year improvements (granted, sometimes only marginal) and build a squad that fans do have an affinity with. I'd give him a 3 year contract, put an end to all the knee-jerk reactions we see on here, and have a sensible plan for progress.

Regarding point 6 why not situate our training ground somewhere around the start of the M180 near Doncaster? That would put an end to the excuse that new players turn us down because we are out on a limb. If set up right they would only have to come to BP on match days.

In no specific order I’d like to see on the next 3 to 5 years,

- Proper training ground in an accessible location

- final decision on a new ground, if it’s not doable just face into it and do what we can with BP as a last resort

- A playing budget that makes us competitive instead of a “competitive budget”.  

- Back room Resource at a level that makes us competitive

- Decent toilets and catering at BP

- Improved ticketing system on line & on the day

- Fairer ticketing deals for families, OAPs, shift workers and exiles and a commitment to 5 games a season where U16s go free with a paying adult.

- A proper far reaching community programme supporting & engaging those who need it rather than being used as a tool for young player recruitment

- Proper supporter engagement including a full CRM proposition and free membership scheme

- On the day experience to be unweighted, the fan zone will help

- A new shirt every 2 years as people forking out annually has driven revenue but some people can’t afford it.

- Professional PR and a full revision of the clubs media
