Re: TONIGHT: 2023/24 Club Annual Shareholders Meeting and Fans’ Forum

Been to worse grounds this season such as Fleetwood, though food queue probably the longest ever. Have to say fun police head steward must be proud of himself, does he also burst all his neighbour’s kids footballs when they arrive in his garden.

All businesses have a plan or a vision whether that be short, medium or long or all three. What came across was we appear to have no plan. How can you attract investment otherwise.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Exeter City

If you’ve not seen the non handball in the Leeds game have a look and then wonder how he didn’t give that one but gave one against Lewis. Si I think you’re probably right it got pointed out he was wrong last time bound to be in his head if he got demoted to a league one game.

Re: Catering

As opposed to the steep stairs and lack of hand rail for the last few steps where we saw one guy badly fall. Maybe the safest way is not to sell bottles but that would get in the way of profit.

The bottle caps enforcement I do find irritating, not all places enforce it. It’s the choice of reducing the risk of being used as a missile or being knocked over and then someone slipping over. I can guarantee if I leave the bottle on the floor it will be kicked over by people walking by my seat. P...

Re: EFL clubs vote for new Sky deal

Be interesting the club’s view on this. More money for clubs won’t necessarily mean better facilities for fans or cheaper tickets. Look at the premiership it ends up meaning higher wages for players.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Port Vale

Awful game. Nothing on the bench that the manager feels could change the game other than the usual substitution of bringing Jackson on. Is it we can only afford 1 or 2 new players or does the manager and Director of Football think we only need 1 or 2. If it’s the latter then we’re in trouble. Can’t ...

When we're 2-0 down with one sub to go and looking like we won't score and no substitutions are made then I think that sums up what Duff thinks of the bench.

It's recruiting the right players young and experienced in the budget we have. The best survival was League One 2008 when we recruited 2 experienced in Alex Russell and Steve Brooker and Richard Keogh who was a young but good footballer.

You only have to look at York to see what could have happened last year. Should the worse happen, it's a long way off, but which manager would you want to get you out of the Vanarama well I suggest that man is Gary Johnson.

It's a dilemma for clubs at our level. The cost is high but finding that one young player who makes it could generate enough times over to pay the cost for several years.
