Brashy's Boots Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Total boycott of season ticket purchases would send a strong message... It certainly would. The message being, we want to make things worse around here so instead of getting a vital cash injection when there's no other income, we're keeping our money and hoping that the fairies save the club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total boycott of season ticket purchases would send a strong message... Go on the boycott season ticket purchases, come September once we've sold half the first team you will have no club to support. Floodlights fail I've seen it many times on the TV let's not forget Sim paid for the new floodlights which allows the astro pitch he purchased to be used every night within the community. The portacabin he purchased is the biggest you can buy and any money raised on match day or through the week will go into the club not his pocket. Remember before Sim came along there was no community club and no money generated through the week other than home games. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s made it very clear what she felt the issues were. These issues were caused by the actions of people employed by the club and 4 of the board members. It’s unclear to me why she should need to be responsible for saying what should be done to fix things. That kind of change / action can only come from within the club. Change can’t come from within the club without others being able and willing to step in. The whole board can’t walk away and leave no one funding and running the club. A few folk don’t seem to realise this. Val is someone who has both the finances and the experience needed to help run the club. She’s made plenty of comments about how she loves the club, but is she going to be proactive in trying to turn it around? The same could be said of Gordon Brown. Has money, contacts and very good business sense. These people have no obligation to help, but I find their supposed love of the club rather questionable when we are struggling and they are sitting on the sidelines watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val has stated why she wont be back, DG is still on the books. Ask the same question when this has been resolved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she feels that strongly then buy the club I'm sure she can afford it. What she is doing just now using her status is helping to destroy the club. Val's constructive plan was to not sign a rapist in the first place. I'm pretty sure if you'd offered a chance to end the transfer window without signing it and retaining all our sponsors and volunteers, we'd have taken it (aside from a few disgruntled folk on twitter). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he realises he has made a mistake in the signing. Why bother with the portacabin. It can hold between 30 and 40 people seated and 60 standing. If each one of those seated spend £50 for matchday hospitality then we've generated money for the club. If 60 folk turn up after the game and spend a tenner again money raised. Put that with mums and dad's who can by a coffee etc during the week or on weekend mornings we then generate more money than we dis without it. His only option would have been to build something which would cost far more than 150k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Jack D Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 My non attendance, withdrawal of contribution to players fund, purchase of lottery and possible non renewal of mine and kids season tickets isnt a boycott. I'm simply not blindly contributing to the wages of an unrepentant rapist. I'm waiting on the details of how we are dealing with the contract before I consider contributing to the club. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It does have toilets and a kitchen area. I've been in it so can confirm. The problem is the titan is the biggest portacabin you get but with toilets and kitchen facilities it doesn't leave a lot of room for punters. Do we actually need it now we have no community teams? If they do build similar why not incorporate it into the stand and use the toilets and catering facilities already available. Or is that just a stupid idea.
