I don't know how you guys do it week by week especially the travelling supporters. The money you must spend, following a club that really cant be asked. I get frustrated and I'm not spending any money or time. But you give up your Saturday and evening for mid-week games.

We are in the bottom half of League 2, cant win games, what to the club worry about - changing the effing crest.

They want to make it more welcoming and draw extra people in, here's a radical idea, how about putting a football team, that play attractive or at least effective football.

It's OK I'm going to the Bradford game and I will imagine I'm watching Bayern Munich. :D BTW to harp on it, their overall player position was almost perfectly symmetrical against Celtic. :o

See the player position tab.

But of all the things the Organisation should focus on, it wouldn't feature on my list. I guess my worry is that it is the sort of thing Sam Hammam did when he took over from Ron Noades and we all know how that ended.

"The organisation" can't control what goes on on the pitch at the minute, Bill. The transfer window is shut. It's down to the manager, the fitness staff and his coaching staff and players.
Different departments have different roles, and at the minute, a different department are sorting out a marketing opportunity for the future which is also important in the long run. These things really aren't as complicated to understand as some people choose them to be.

I expect we'll see a lot more of this kind of thing from next season, if only so the owner's can show they're putting money into the nonplaying side of things in order to allow them to put money into the football aspects as well under the new FFP.

Yeah, but when the alternatives are so shit (which they are) what is the point.

Many away fans go for the cultural experience of seeing such illustrious places as Barrow, Bradford and Bromley
