Quote Poynton="Poynton"Very sensible post lampyboy! Sums up how most of us who are not "insiders" feel. I just wish that those insiders would stop hinting that they know things but can't tell us what they know hence building false hopes and that the club would keep supporters informed via the website and if the Newmarket plans have stalled tell everyone and tell them why. This is not mi5 it's the entertainment industry.'"
I fully understand anyone who feels how you do - I've felt it too. We were so down at the last admin and we all believed that the then management were putting things right. We all loved the new covered stands, the extra bars, the better players etc... Which is why it hurt so bad to find out nothing had changed really.
MC and his team have cut costs to the bone. The result, in some areas of the business, is not pretty. The website is flawed, shop times uneven, match day issues etc..., but things are improving, mainly as a result of hard work and diligence. What more can we expect from anyone?
I don't know if the accounts are good. I'm told they are and, if I was a betting man, then I would lump money that being the case.
All told, I am now back to a point where I am looking forward to the game tomorrow. We may not win - and winning is important - but I know we have a unified group - players, coaches, fans and officials - who are pulling together to get that win. Most Wakey fans will tell you that that is all they want, and we've got that!
Regards the stadium, you want the plans laid out, but there are no plans - as I've said all along. The club would love to give us all details and timescales, but they will not do that with the position as it is. That's not to say we should all get nervous, because what is on offer is good, but there is an order that some things need to be done in. When certain obligations have been met we will all get chapter and verse - Michael wants that, we want that, everyone involved wants that.
One final point - please don't diss those 'in the know' for no other reason than being 'in the know'. They are fans, like you, but they have each, in their own way, gone out of their way to help rather than do nothing and if we do come on here with scraps of information it is because we do actually want to tell you all what's happening, but can't. It's not a game and there are both money and reputations involved here.
I for one am in a good place with it all just now. Bring on them Tigers!
