Quoted from pen penfras


You're living in dream land. If we sell 3000 I'll be surprised. The euphoria will soon fade, before season tickets are on sale, and it will miss out some of the people feeling the impulse based on momentum. Covid is still a huge spanner in the works. People will have to consider whether they'll be furloughed again come winter and spending a lot of money on a frivolous item is justified when they might not be able to even go to many matches. Plus there aren't a thousand people that were only staying away because of Fenty, if we are tearing it up then gates will be high. If we're not then any new attendees will soon get bored and go back to alternative Saturday afternoon activities.


I think you underestimate the negativity created by your pal John.

But enough of that, you can call it a frivolous item, I call it a passion. Up the Mariners.

Quoted from Tangerine Chris
Actions speak louder than words.  Heard all this type of bull when Runaway came, investing own money, blah blah blah, players knocking on the door blah blah blah.  I will be a believer when things actually happen


Well they already have invested there own money into buying the club. How many people do we know in the past have invested £2.5 million with no expectation of return?

I appreciate suffering the loss of your mate is hard to deal with but you do underestimate the effect Fenty had on things at the club.

Whilst I’m inclined to agree that some folk, especially those concerned about Covid may still stay away and the potential that grounds may or may not be open when they go on sale...I do think there will be folk return. I know 3 people already who haven’t had one for a couple of years who are purchasing one this year because the despot has gone.

They’ve also intimated that STs will go on sale next week...striking while the irons hot so to speak, unlike our old friend John...


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Quoted from The Yard Dog
Over the last few hours, the plan for our club has been outlined by the owners.
We have had time to digest their statement or have listened to various interviews, podcasts etc.

The new owners have outlined their plan for the future of our club going forward, blowed away.

The owners are prepared to suffer loses in the first few years, to enabled PH and his team, the best possible chance of success. Also see that investment in youth set-up and training facilties is as important. The need to enage with the supporters and want to change the culture of the club.

I have a different feeling today, to when Holloway was appointed,  I thought we might have a chance of improvement on the field with Holloway, I was so wrong and felt conned.

This is a breath of fresh air, change in the how the WHOLE club operates

We have seen what can be achieved, just look down the A46.  A team in the National league, struggling, small hardcore of fans, poor training facilities, now on the verge of the Championship.  In 2013 they average attendance was 2182, in 2019/20 average 8,986.

I have heard, seen, fans stating while JSF is still at the club, they will not return to BP, well after yesterdays announcements, who can not feel positive.

So over to you stay away fans, now is the time to return, lets show the new owners they are right to invest in GTFC.

The only operation needed is to pack out BP for every home game.

I haven't seen all their interviews but have they actually said that?

Maybe under your mate enthusiasm would have died down by the time season tickets went on sale (if he could find a printer to produce them in time, but hey saved £50 on the bill).


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.

Anything over 3k season tickets would be a good outcome. Trust membership is the alternative for exiles who cant make many home games like me. I didn't feck about - just went for life membership.
