Well King Kev, you have obviously read the emails I have exchanged with the MD, you must have listened to the phone calls I have had with the MD. I can assure you I need no lessons of how to bring a club or myself into the modern world. Your patronising ignorant observations are just that. Have you seen our average gates? definitely no where near enough. I may have known the MD for a very short time but I judge people by deeds not just words. If you have not noticed I have not mentioned the MD for best part of a week but I knew somebody would. You suggest I have made my comments for selfish reasons!!!!!!!!! There is a world of difference between principle and selfish. The removal of the disabled concession without any warning or consultation. we then are told we are going cahless at the turnstiles for safety reasons. OK but why no option to purchase tickets on line? shows there is no infrastructure in place yet, we are met with people including the MD selling tickets in a pergola and taking cash. a bit bewildering I think, hardly the professional face we wish to show to the world.
I hope the MD has the nounce to know when he has got it wrong. Why not run his ideas past us in the supporters club at least? we are all supposed to be on the same side. I won't revisit old ground but I will not be eating humble pie. And just for the record I have done my share to help this club stay afloat, I want this club to move on to bigger and better things. I believe Andy Holt is the man with the vision and finance to do this. I don't think the new MD is the man to fulfil this ambition, As for trying to get more supporters through the gates, I suggest that perhaps yourself and the new MD go out in Hyndburn and encourage the Asian population to come as they make up a fair percentage of the community. But spouting the arrogant nonsense based on hear say is more likely to put people off. I am aware that the club needs to be put on a more commercial footing with enough revenue to progress. I think if you were to read my post's you will note where I have complained I have tried to offer a solution. I don't recall reading any posts from you. But whatever you or I think, we can't seem to raise our base attendance above 14/1500 excluding away fans. That is a serious problem that the club and fans need to address. we need to pull together not put fans off. I noticed you singled me out for criticism maybe the truth is getting through. A true supporter is a friend of the club and will speak out if they see things that need attention, keeping quiet helps nobody.
================================================== ================================================== =====================
One doesn’t need to read any exchange you may or may not have had with the MD, as your clear attack on a public forum says more about you than anyone else. One assumes the MD, has been brought in to the club by Andy Holt, the person you show so much support for, somewhat beggars believe. It matters not at this point in time if you or I are correct. Given the history of the club, Andy Holt pays his money and takes his choice (I assume) and in this case, he has installed a MD, I respectfully suggest everybody starts giving him a chance.

Your comment “I hope the MD has the nounce to know when he has got it wrong” you really don’t have an ounce of commercial sense, do you? The only time you will be happy is if every idea is run passed your personally and you rubber stamp it. Get a grip, the world moves at a very fast pace and commercial acumen these days, is just that, think on your feet and make decision quickly to react to situations as they arise and the key is to ensure that when you make those decisions the strategy is without loss. I don’t see any loss to date, apart from your credibility.

Although the key to my post was not lost on you was it? You just couldn’t resist raising the “disabled concessions” hence my comment selfish reasons. You are so transparent.

Don’t bother replying, as I have no intention of further debating with someone who has such a personnel insulin view of the current circumstances and as for humble Pie, you may wish to start licking your lips, as it won’t be too long before it’s been served. Tick Tock…..Tick Tock….
