Question for the Club

[KIPAX]

It's back by populor demand

Questions for the club can be directed to anyone from the tea lady to the chairman himself. What we do not want is team selection or tactics questions. We don't want questions in text speak and we don't want silly or abusive questions.

When I have 20 questions or it's the end of the month then they will be presented to the club. Typically replied to within a week.

Q1. accymel

Q1.
how can the club justify the considerable increase in admission prices to the standing area,s of the ground if it still means that people are standing in an area that is still open to all the elements,and if and when the ground gets full there will still be fans standing on open terracing,surely at 13 pounds to stand,a price increase of just under 1/3rd which does,nt go in line with the current rate of inflation our fans deserve better.

[accymel]

The most obvious one is 'When are we getting the ROOF? thats something all of the stanley message board wants to ask the club collectively

[hugh janus]

why are the club selling the replica shirts for at a very expensive price this season,when teams in the premier league ie chelsea and man utd only charge 30 pounds, how can the club justify this,as many supporters my self included cant afford 40 pounds for a new shirt,

[Doug]

OK, over the last few months there have been a number of suggestions and comments that have gone unheard or committed on, many of which where in support of the club and where aimed at aiding the situation.

So Question 1. Would the club consider forming a supporter’s panel? I would suggest 10 to 15 people meeting on a regular basis, made up from members of the club, local Business’s, residents, Supporters Club and the Ultras as well as unaligned fans.

The aim being an informative group who could consider suggestions put forward by individuals and groups or to action suggestions on behalf or in support of the clubs work.

[Thin Monkey]

This has probably been asked before but here goes.
Are there any plans to either upgrade the floodlights or, at least, replace the two bulbs which have been out for the best part of three seasons?

Everyone I know remarks on how embarrassing it is that the bulbs have been out for so long.
