I've just been looking at our average crowd for 1996 it says we averaged around 2100 with one crowd 1300 and one 1400, in the 80s we averaged about 2000 in the championship and that was winter. Its a big ask is 3000 after this season, so if we've any hope of it we must get the coach right, the squad right and above all playing decent stuff, otherwise it could be an uphill struggle

Need to be careful on season ticket prices, we've had reduced, slashed even, season tickets, and have been stung badly.

Maybe keep them as they are, or similar, but with an early bird offer for say a month at 25% off, then the following month at 15%, and from then on the full price.

You’re right there was. Commit 6 or something along those lines

Be interesting what we do have to pay - bearing in mind those on the Commit 6 will have paid in £312 over the course of the year...

Which includes numbers in the lottery not just the season ticket

I know, I'm do commit 6.....

I think if Carter and Minards are still around there will be different pricing of the tickets
New stand Top rate
upper North Stand middle rate
the rest of ground lowest rate

I'd say that would be sensible whoever the leader us.
But it isn't Carter. He's going either way.

Got to hit the season running and get some good early wins. If we start off with a couple of shockers there will be 500 or so fans dropping off before you can say "scrappy 10-24 home defeat against Barrow".

I’m like a broken record but a coach who picks Kevin Proctor is not fit for purpose

Well no need to rush to thank Applegarth as it looks and sounds like he’s staying on as Head Coach next year so plenty of time.

Here’s to consecutive relegations.

Correct. His constant selection of what must be the worst signing in our history is baffling.

It was though a signing that many of the better judges on here warned would be a poor one. The usual suspects shouted down the concerns. Its a recurring theme.

If Ellis does take over and keeps him in place then he will be up against it from day one, it will be a suicidal move. There is no justification for him to keep his job beyond next week.

I note he is now apologising to the fans and takes full responsibility for our relegation. The first point is a little too late and it was his fault but not his alone because he was assisted by his fellow conspirators who put together a squad which even a 4 year old would have realised would produce only one outcome.
He now wants an opportunity to carry on, despite the fact his league record is 4 wins out of 26 games which at any other club would have seen him removed.
