But whilst I massively respect the efforts of the volunteers trying to raise money for squad builder, BullBuilder etc they're peeing in the wind whilst the management continue as they are. I don't know what numbers are like for the respective fundraising groups but I would imagine uptake recently is slow to non existent.

Somebody send the memo to the club but nobody gives a flying duck that the early bird deadline is looming. The current squad will do well to stay in the division, so I don't anticipate a scramble to purchase.

I’m going to get mine soon. If having fan numbers will be a part of this img grading system then Ill also get free tickets for the kids, even though they’ve mostly stopped going. If anyone else is getting tickets but their kids don’t go anymore- get the tickets anyway to boost numbers.

I really don't like the way it always seems to fall on us to do things to help the club while the owners are invisible. If we manage grade C we're doing well given the state of the stadium and the ability of the first team.

I would imagine the owner is busy trying to offload the club. He’s not going to just give it away, he will want someone to buy it from him. Not an easy sell I wouldn’t have thought.
Everything about the club is distinctly downbeat at the moment, with very little to motivate us. Maybe the announcement of a new contract for Kibula will provide the spark that re-ignites the enthusiasm of the fan base.
Or not, as the case may be.

Yeah, they're not exactly going all in for star signings to get people to buy ST are they?

Whoever thought of the selling strategy theme of "Go on mate! You once enjoyed it (forget about the decade of disappointment and the huge raft of lies we have sold you over and over again, and that even now we're dodging fan scrutiny), just do it! buy a season ticket!" would be such a dismal failure.

Let's face it, nobody in their right mind would buy the club unless they were a supporter that'd just won the euromillions. Why pay for soemthing that will be free in the short to medium term once we go out of business again?

Andrew Henderson announced as Yorks new coach. Says it all doesn't it. We ended up with Dunning. What a joke

Oh and it only took them just over a week to appoint him. They obviously must not have had the same number of high level applicants that we had to sort through. Got to feel sorry for them.......
