He didn't. Not at the meeting.
The meeting most definitely did NOT agree to pay on the gate. There was no vote and no request.
Various people OFFERED to, especially amongst those near the front, and I reported above - as best as I can recall - Guilfoyle's response.

| Im using my season ticket, (paid for it, pledged well over £100, held buckets etc) but, I've made a point to pursuade someone who never goes to come along, so they'll be paying on the gate as an extra and I'm hoping to go spend more than the entrance fee in the club shop....providing its open and staffed.

| Will not be paying!
However, I understand most of the staff sacked this week will be attending the game. So I will give my money to one of them, most of them on not big salaries.

He did insinuate that fans were willing to pay when he was interviewed by Calendar after the meeting.

Noticed that bit about season ticket holders agreeing to pay en masse but just assumed it was sloppy reporting as it didn't match what was said in various tweets from the meeting.
Bit like t&a/ guilfoyle saying we only get 2-3k attendance against London. Quick check of attendance figures for last few years would show that to utter . Assume what they meant to say was we only get 2-3k paying on the gate.

In which case his projected revenue figure for the game was way off - 2500 @ £17 = £42,500

| Well we all know even if theres 2 people there the 'Offical' attendence will be 10,000 plus. So I think he means actual people being in the ground rather than just counting the season ticket holders too.

Fair enough, did not see that. But saying fans were willing to pay is a long way from inviting or asking them to. If you are smart with your words (and he is a professional) you can have much of your audience convinced you said something ratehr different to what you actually say, especially when people want to hear it. For example, everyone knows that Caisley promised to bring in new investment, and Hood promised not to call in the pledges unless he had investment for the remainig £500k in place. Except neither said any such thing, to the best of my knowledge. A lot of people read into what they respectively DID say what maybe they wanted to hear. Same with this example, I feel.

| Me and my Dad are hopefully coming along and I'm going to try and persuade my Mum to come along as well.
My Mum hasn't been to Odsal for a number of years now since she scattered her Dad's ashes on the pitch.
If this is going to be the last game at Odsal I feel I want to be there for my Grandad more than anything else.

| Brendan Guilfoyle would love everyone to pay twice as it will end up paying him his fee. If you've a season ticket use it, keep the money for when the buyer takes over and outcome is clearer.

Say what you want about counting season ticket holders towards the official attendance. We've never been even remotely close to having just 3k in the ground for a London game though.

I haven't been using my season ticket since the crisis became public. Unfortunately I have since been getting emails from the club telling me what I have missed. Good for the club to try and drum up support, I was paying at the gate. Although I will admit I used my ST to get into the stand.
