I hope the club sorts the tax situation out for the next year as if we don't move into Newmarket for 2011, season ticket sales will be down the toilet if the games are at Oakwell.

why would it, only 10 mins extra miles for me and were closer to newmarket than barnsley

I think the silent majority are with phil. As usual in life the ones on the soap boxes tend to be the exceptions.

I don't recall anyone saying that they would not buy a season ticket, they just decided it was better for them to wait. How exactly does that put them on the soap box. I am sorry to say this but the silent majority as you put it obviously like the mushroom treatment

I don't think any of us like the mushroom treatment. I bet there's not one person on here (or among the die-hard fans that stand on the terraces) that wouldn't like the club to improve on its communication with its paying public. As Phil says this is one area that could be easily improved but never seems to be addressed.
Having said that, I would rather have solid information when it is given rather than the made-up ramblings (spin or downright lies!) of other clubs chairmen.

Personally I will be going down to the club at the weekend to sort my season ticket out. Belle Vue has been a big part of my life for 20-odd years now and if this is to be the last season there I don't want to miss it.

To be fair you talk about solid information against spin or lies, but it seems to me that we are subjected to the latter more often than not. I do commend people like TRB for the work they do and admire the commitment, but as it has been pointed out before this is a two way thing. We were told that all recruitment was sorted two weeks ago and now we are hearing a different tune. So tell me what is that if it is not spin or downright lies????

I don't think anyone is lying. The comment about things being complete was amongst the existing players - i.e. who was being re-newed; who was staying; who was leaving (although the Blanch thing wasn't complete at the time AFAIK, it was already in negotiation and has been completed asap). What isn't complete is the recruitment and I don't know of any beyond the 3 well documented on here that are completed - that doesn't mean there aren't any!

So I don't think it's spin, or downright lies (what benefit would there be in that), rather a mis-understanding of a comment made to a journo. It's all far less dramatic than you are suggesting here - but non-the-less nail biting whilst we wait for news!

Lets hope your right otherwise season ticket sales are going to be minimal.

Well mines bought and paid for.

Wether that makes me an idiot, rose tinted glasses wearer, optomist, true fan, loyal supporter or glutton for punishment. I don't care.

Roll on 2011!

Getting to Barnsley on a Sunday on public transport is both a lot more costly by crossing zones or a lot more time consuming with buses. If people want excuses, that will be a major one.

Can we set up a vote to see who is

1) Educated
2) Informed
3) Educated and Informed
4) Clueless
