There was a question from Matt Dean that made me wonder if something was afoot.


What was asked? I’ve not heard Matt’s interview? Cheers!

I haven't listened to his interview but if he said the pitch is 100 years old is a bit of a daft comment and probably an excuse for the recent state of the pitch.

The ground is obviously a hundred years old but the grass has been changed. The groundsman had won at least one award for the state of the pitch not that many seasons ago, also I am sure the top surface was removed and reseeded because the club kept putting out videos of tractors stripping it off.

For me the pitch has got worse since the drainage was put in as well as sprinklers.


A bit of grass and a couple of inches of soil doesn't equal a new pitch. Below that is 140 year old clay and it's well documented that the pitch ideally needs an absolute fortune spending on it.

Something along the lines of ‘Is there anything else going on behind the scenes at present?”

Given what you’ve said and another private message I’ve received today, it would certainly not surprise me if you were right.

Ive sent 4 emails to the commercial manager regarding hospitality for an upcoming game. Heard nothing.

I chased the club due to being locked out my ticket account. Heard nothing.

Used to have correspondence with Sam who was excellent and always sorted me out quickly and without a fuss

Some nonesense being talked about the pitch .The clay below the surface is 33000 years old when the last ice age deposited it not 100/140 . It hasn’t suddenly made the pitch worse in the last decade.

Something very similar happened to me with tickets a week or so back. Any time I contacted Sam, he responded within the working day, often within minutes.

It's amazing to me how much criticism the new owners get because "they don't do things the way they've always been done and with the same people".

Sometimes wonder how they both got to be multi millionaires.


Are they multi millionaires ?

Given that they've paid out multiple millions to buy and then invest in the club, you'd imagine so.

Might have a really, really good credit card deal, I suppose, but that seems to be the less likely option.

And I would counter that by saying despite your assertion the fishy is a place for debate and differences of opinion, there is this phrase "being shot down" that creeps into the narrative.

It usually comes from those with a minority view when their opinions are challenged by the majority.

It's either a place for all opinions or it isn't. To claim some posters are "shot down" doesn't jibe with that. If you don't want your views challenged, don't make them.

I also find it odd that people seem to want to know about all aspects of the club, from the accounts to the commercial department. We only ever used to bother about the team and the footy on the pitch.


Not sure that's true, and if the football wasn't urine poor then I suspect the other issues wouldn't be so scrutinised.

Once football fans get in to the habit of moaning, they generally moan about everything.

GTFC seem to have w larger collection, for the size of the club of giant man babies who spit their dummies out much quicker and for weird stuff. It may not be true but it feels that way…I don’t know many clubs who’d have a course group of idiots that want a manager sacked mid playoff campaign for instance…


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