Back on topic - Simple answer - IMO NO.

We are better prepared and set up for the future than the last 4/5 years or so. Player development is looking good and things look promising for the next 2 or 3 years. We have a better platform to move forward. I know SOME of the players are maybe not as good as previous squad members but with the likes of Mort, Stanton, Higson, Hatton, Durbin, Meekin, Morrison, Taylor, Hill, Ridyard, Hobson (yes Hobson), Armistead etc.. still with their best years head of them then we can only get better.

Its not going to happen though. Too many obsticles and too much like hard work.

I know some who have admitted to having a crafty fag in the toilets, cant understand why people cant go an hour and half without, if they go on a plane they have to.

What about us going backwards in our relationship with our younger fans? Does nt everyone think that the kids are the future fans and we need to look after them better.

We need a bar and also some tables etc outside in summer.

We need face painting for the kids outside the ground.

Maybe a bouncy castle somewhere.

And wait for this a lot of the people who I go to the games with, leave before Half time as thats as long as they can last without a cigerette, I know the guests in the coporate are allowed outside to smoke, so why isnt there somewhere these lot can go. I kid you not about them leaving early.

do we still have a community dept? i would have thought it was their job.

as for the smokers who cant last the length of the game without a cig....i suggest you seek medical help and FAST

Also like to say that during a recent game, two very very young fans walked down to the dugouts to try and get Hobbo and Jimmy Taylor signatures (they both had just come off) and was told they couldnt go near the dugouts.
Obviously they shouldnt have been there, but this was my point before, the fans have no where to go and meet the players any more. This is more important when we are trying to get the kids into the ground.
It isnt our club, or our team anymore
