Academy yes or no

Absolutely no ! I can understand that all clubs are just hoping they might find the next Beckham or Bale at the age of 14, but the likelyhood of this happening is so remote that it's just not economic to chase the dream. The most astute and financially beneficial signings for the club in recent year...

Retained list

Well as far as i'm aware Branston only watched Gueguen once last season! I suppose he may have access to the club DVD's of matches but I suspect Gulliball is closer to the mark. If we are going to ever make a serious challenge we need players capable of league 2 football, not "good conference p...

Season Ticket & Admission Price Reduction

The club have to pay VAT on ticket prices at 20%

So for every £10 the club take on the turnstiles, they receive £8.33

Obviously they can off-set some of that charge against their expenses and purchases

Season Ticket & Admission Price Reduction

I will not stop supporting, just be more selective when I go and when I do not. I do feel the prices are far too high, could not give two hoots to be honest if we are the cheapest in the conference, it's still crap value for the level of football, in all honestly last year I resented the club were f...

Season Ticket & Admission Price Reduction

Well I suppose the proof will be in next season's season ticket sales and attendances

I understand the club did not announce season ticket sales last season because they fell below 900 and they were rightly quite embarrassed.

When chaps like me say no, they have a problem

Season Ticket & Admission Price Reduction

I will not be renewing my season ticket on the bench this year, the first time I have not renewed my season ticket in many years. Whilst I am very fortunate to be able to afford these sky high prices, I can see when I am being ripped off. I genuinely thought there would be a really interesting and g...

Takeover 50/50 ?

That figure is less than Wayne Rooney's weekly salary, if we end up being expelled from the league over that it would indeed sum up everything that is wrong with modern football. The bottom end of football is just as much responsible as the top end I have always wondered how the hell can Torquay Un...

Youth Teams Pros

you could argue of course that the money should instead be spent on a decent scouting network..... Its always worth remembering that 1 x Bobby Olejnik (who arrived free and was sold on for a 6 figure sum) was worth more to the club than a whole year of season-ticket sales...and he came for free from...
