Not really saying its a amature league, its a figure of speech. Gateshead, London, Doncaster and South Wales if we take away free tickets do not attract crowds of more than a few hundred and bring maybe a car full of people if were lucky to away games. How can this be good for any clubs average attendance. Im sure Albion vs Town would attract a similar crowd on a cold Saturday afternoon and they are amature.
Im not having a pop at the chairman im just stating a fact that "he never goes to away matches"

I've never seen 500 people at Albion Vs Town.

I don't often go to away matches myself so I can't comment, but at the end of the day when the club was in administration he was the one that took the club on and is now trying to move the club forward. That deserves respect alone.

guess who wrote:

How do you know if the club can afford him or not?

It is not exactly rocket science!!

Spymaster, i think your the only one who knows where im coming from.

Dominance, if you read my last post i never mentioned 500 the term i used was a couple of hundred.
The reason i started the post was not to slate the club or directors, it was my thoghts on not having a recognised half back in the team and the fact that we need one

Mr Hicks - I think Spymaster was making a comment in relation to GW's comment, hence the quote.

I accept the reason why you started the post and it has prompted a good discussion. We obviosuly have different views. I think others factored the discussion re SL and the directors and I have merely given my view. At the end of the day that's what this forum is for.

Just a quick reply to the chairman not being at away games. Cougars have 3 main directors, they are all busy men, 2 of which with families with young children. We all know that supporting cougars is expensive and hard work, especially if you have other family commitments that happen at the weekend. Our chairman, tends to do other things with his family every other weekend. The 3 main directors take it in turns to make sure at least one of them is representing the club at all games. In the current times is anyone really saying that our chairman is not doing the right thing by spending time with his young children when the cougars are not at home.

Well put.

Re: Calling Brad Drew : Thu Feb 24, 2011 7:44 pm  

Indeed. Why shouldn't he spend time with his family.

Not sure what it matters which director goes to be honest intended or not it comes across as you have axe to grind with chairman, unfair to do it on forum like this as why should any official of club respond to what seems as a dig. Any questions of personal nature are best raised with the individual direct. Mr Hicks if I have misinterpreted what you meant accept my apology.
