Sponsorship is either about vanity or promotion.
I doubt there's been a shirt sponsor in my 22 years who's been the latter......but it speaks volumes that we've run out of supporters who.own firms that they can stick on the shirt to make themselves feel like Branson.
I'd like us to do a contract with Metro or the Standard.....give them a stand on match day in return for the shirt....at least try to fill the place.

Regarding the East Stand, Bongser has only viewed one match from LSV's East Stand and, whenever the ball was kicked higher than the level of the West Stand (at least for Bongser's eyeline from near touch), he lost said ball in the sun and, even when it had descended, was still sun-blind for several seconds. For him the match is the main matchday experience.

If you are sitting in the East, especially for Spring or Autumn matches, sit as high up the stand as you can!

Sage advice Bongser but the one positive with Plough Lane is if you don’t like the seat you have selected there are over 7000 others to choose from.

Did you know we are playing two games at Ebbs fleet again? One of them is TO so I’ve dodged a bullet there but it means we won’t play at home between May 13 and July 30.This isn’t a one off because x y or z unexpected event happened but appears to be hard baked into the agreement we have with The Dons. It’s absolutely crazy. It really is no way to build momentum. It’s basically splitting the season in two. Last season it didn’t seem to impact on us indeed as Eccles took over our results and performances went up but crowd building wise it makes no sense. We’re we on glue when we signed off on this move?

I didn't see this indicated when the club were pushing memberships.

Cant remember to be honest but it’s not great is it 5 home games between start of season and end of July - assuming the trains aren’t still be on strike and one can face turning up to see the hiding Fev will probably hand out. Basically every football off season we can’t use the ground. Balls!

Less than one home game a month

Thats not how you grow a crowd......

Its getting to the point that the Aussies will tour Eng more than we will have home games at PL

Yup.....UHU-ghes!

F.F.S.
I am genuinely in awe at the level of ineptitude/deceit on display from the club. Not only does it now appear that we're banned from Plough Lane for 2 Months every year, but that the club have falsely sold memberships without announcing that 2 of the games will be OTR 30 miles across town and an hour by car or longer by public transport.

I expect that the handful of memberships sold have been to those blind faithful who will never question Hughes and Loubser (but who went missing when asked to volunteer last year???), so there'll be no complaints, but it really is an underhanded move by an organisation that is anything but organised!

It also beggars the question as to why we left a perfectly suitable ground for our needs when there's no intent what so ever to try and gain promotion or attract gates of 5,000.

To be crystal. We now have fewer fans, fewer sponsors and fewer "home" games than we did at Trailfinders whilst the commericla revenue would seem to be far less and seem to be hanging our hat on IMG giving us a "leg up"





26 games to the 5,000 target! I wonder what will happen at the end of 2024 when we have 600 fans rattling around plough lane?

I’m pinning my hopes on a decent start to the season before we go into hibernation for months.

Hopefully the assistant coaches and the rest of the squad will be announced very soon.

I admire your optimism, Buzz & hope you're right.
