invergowrie arab Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Other than United scoring more goals than the other team what do people look for in their "matchday experience"? I have been to games in 6 different leagues across Europe in the past year and it all seems to be pretty much a football match happens. Better coffee though. However, I have been to watch NFL in NY and they had a monkey dressed as a cowboy riding a dog. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Pretty alarming line from that interview with the new United owner; Quote Our plan and our model does not work if we remain in the Championship.

What leagues have you attended, and which ones stood out, prices facilities ect........? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone at the club will be looked at but Ogren and he Managing Director obviously didn't give any names. I'd imagine he will be away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better quality food and a bit more fan engagement I suppose but the reality is that a win on the pitch is the only thing that matters. Another issue at United is the 'walk up' fan and the hassle to get a ticket, which has been improved slightly recently. A ticketless or card system would help as would the ability to get a QR code if you buy your ticket online. The club are looking at things like this. Basically the Managing Director thought the experience he had in the George Fox was pretty depressing and he wants to see if we can make a little better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a budget in place for next season if we don't get promoted. The owners have committed to the club regardless of what league we are in next year or beyond.

I'd imagine May 18-May 19 they will do pretty well given their form and increased revenue. I don't know the ins and outs, just what the finance guy said last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it's a case of get promoted as quickly as possible so the new owners don't get bored? They're not going to stick around very long if they're not making any money. Good for United overall though. Even if it doesn't happen this season you can be sure there will be an almighty splurge in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muggy Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Genuinely curious as to how you’ve now ended up with an assistant from the USA? Clearly forced on to Neilson? If I’ve missed why then apologies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
