Pure specualtion here but if he is staying on like he says then one of the reasons to be removed as a director would be if the company isn't in great financial state which could affect his own business interests if anything major happened. Ultimatley these guys have taken a hell of a lot of hard work and effort to build up their own businesses and it would be silly to risk hurting your own reputation for something which is essentially a hobby.

For the sake of not scare mongering what other reasons do you know of as to why a director might take a back seat ?

From Durgan on Facebook thread.

They’ve removed the thread now .

Pretty much confirmed then, keeps same role but won't be listed as a director. That is a concern.

That used to be an old argument on here when the club would ask for things to be removed off here. It's not a fans forums place to be censoring fans without good reason.

I don't think the financial health of the company would have anything to do with his resignation as it wouldn't affect any of his other business interests. In my very humble opinion I think the resignation has more to do with he will no longer be involved in any decision making (which requires ratification at board level, basically meaning "he has lost his vote"icon_wink.gif.

Director resigns then really early season ticket sale for next season. Lets hope this is warning sign because it would be easy to jump to that conclusion.

I understand your thought process but durgans business is one of the least successful businesses out of the current directors , with uttley and bannister being the big guns . Also durgan has been very transparent on social media regarding his decision, usually when there’s a problem it’s human nature to be less so .

My thoughts exactly. Usually the early bird offer extends to Xmas so this is quite concerning.

And doing the maths, it looks like the South Stand admission is increasing from £19 to £22 and the East Stand from £22 to £25. OK, it's the first increase for quite some time, but the admission has got way ahead of itself since the 90s when it broke a fiver, since which time it's quadrupled but the average salary has hardly doubled.

I think we can wave goodbye to attracting new fans if we're asking them to stump up over 20 quid for lower tier RL. And the 15% increase will probably be wiped out by an equivalent decrease in the crowd, so self defeating imo.

How come every thread turns into a doom n gloom scenario where the clubs on the verge of imploding. The narrative is always speculative negativity.

Why is stating the admission will be increasing to £22 / £25 "speculative"? It's a fact. And in my opinion it's a bad move as it won't attract new fans. It's not "doom and gloom", it's quite obvious, don't yer think? Sorry we're not all such fun loving dudes like yerself, Listenup.

Thanks for the apology, it’s appreciated, the club sells some season tickets in a positive spin and as per usual you n greg turn into the tribulation twins donned in the end is nigh placards . Give it a rest is effing depressing.

Don't you tell me what to do, who the hell do you think you are? ******
