Ok then , New Ground time

Quoted from MuddyWaters

It frustrates me that we continue to chuck money at BP. I noticed today that the advertising boards have gone off the top of the Osmond. Does this mean reduced advertising revenue?

£2.50 for a cup of tea in the Findus I think there’s an all round shared expectation that people will chuck money at BP.

To be honest in the side of the ground we sit other than the red barriers in the upper being replaced by glass I can’t see any other areas where money has been spent.

When costs are squeezed for SME’s and in reality there is very little quantifiable value in local out of home sport’s sponsorship it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s less in ground advertising income.

They've gone because they haven't been sold. We forced Dave Smith out by hiring somebody to do his job who is nowhere near as good. Then make statements in the press insinuating that people left because they couldn't perform with the higher expectations and some lies about printing issues to try and save face

Let's see how many turn up against Stevenage and the rest of the home games this season...we have had back to back games where the away end has been full and relative derbies so the home stands are full as well.

Advertising....think half of the boards have been stripped as businesses no longer exist....Mick Mcgarry Turf Accouncants and Peter Sheffield Coaches were still up there I think 🤣

Spoke with some Donny fans after the game and they said how good it was to be at an old school ground with a cracking atmosphere from the 3 home stands.

flipping hell. Ya know things aren’t going too bad when people are still going on about some advertising boards. Who flipping cares?

Aside from Covid, I’ve missed one home game in about 20 years and I couldn’t tell you a flipping single thing about any advertising board. I didn’t even spot they were missing.

People really need to stop reading in to stuff or trying to find things to moan about.

Maybe you should fork out £900 for a “Bring Back Dave Smith” advertising board, everyone’s a winner.

Maybe I just feel like the way that a lot of people, who have given a lot to this club over the years, have been treated is unacceptable. Especially when we hear so much publicity about the respect and values the club is supposed to hold. If we'd brought in people who were doing a great job, then it'd be somewhat justified, but most of the staff over the years did a fantastic job regardless of what you think of the owner.

As we generally replace non playing colleagues on a 1 for 1 basis so you don’t know what the incumbent can do until they’re established in the role. You came out with the sweeping statement the other week about average office turnover being 10% but if your office is average then expect turnover to be higher.

Quite simply the new owners want to improve aspects of the club that the old wouldn’t lower himself to address, JS & AP are really experienced and if they believe they can attract better talent to improve us then that’s their choice to make as owners. It just reflects what the manager does he brings what he feels is better talent in to improve results.

A massive influx of new staff and roles created at the Club but so far I see very few benefits? Most of us me included are pretty much most concerned about what we see on the pitch. These new owners talk a great game well let's see it then please.Where and when is this training pitch coming? How much extra revenue have you brought in aside from ticket sales massively increasing. Will you be backing the manager heavily in January when clearly we need 3-4 quality additions? The honeymoon is over

I have no gripe with our new owners or with Dave Smith but correct me if I’m wrong but Dave only left a few weeks ago after the season was well underway. Thus given our increased feel good factor I would have expected any sale of ground advertising boards to have been done and dusted by the time he departed so not sure the removal of a number of them can be laid at the door of his replacement.

To be honest amazed that any company buys these boards as Aldi said who ever looks at them.

But the department changed long before Dave left. Somebody was hired to be his boss and changed the way things are done. I've never seen black boards around the ground during the season before.

Companies buy them to support the club, it's not like they get very much out of it.
