Re: Sold out?

Well maybe if some of the extra 1500 fans that are turning up on Wednesday bought seasons tickets/match day tickets regularly, we may have more money to invest in the infrastructure.

It's a catch 22.

Re: Weather - weekend onwards

The BBC forecast is underestimating the cold and potential for serious disruption next week. They are trying not to whip up a frenzy. Some of the snow forecasts for next week are staggering. There is a forecasted area of low pressure to move up from the south next Friday producing significant snow. ...

Quite right Dan - especially as Tamworth play on an artificial pitch.

Weather - weekend onwards

Without coming across all Darlo_Pete, the weather forecast for the weekend onwards is looking like being severely cold, with a beast from the east forecast, ice days and snowmageddon a la winter 2010. I'm a bit of a saddo and read the weather forums and I'm not exaggerating in the slightest. Covers ...

Boost the Budget

Still need around 40k in 40 or so days. What are the implications of this target not being met? - all monies have to be returned if not 100% achieved. Have we budgeted on us reaching that target?

We are at a real crossroads. I believe tonight is the most significant moment in the past 5 years. Half the fans want a wholly fan owned club - however this means we have basically hit the ceiling. Other half would like investment from outside to push forward - but then run the risk of it all going ...

Re: From the Board of Directors Summary of Appeal

It's a fair argument about having to invest significant sums in ground facilities without guarantee of promotion (and is out of step with other leagues). But as it is an FA rule, and the appeal is to the FA, it is doomed to fail.
