Could you imagine Joy or Tim doing this?!

Fair play.

I have submitted my question.
Hi Doug,
My question is about the summer recruitment strategy. Given as we sold Ben Sheaf and didn’t replace and loaned out a winger in Raphael, how come we struggled so much to get new players in to strengthen those two positions when we had nearly four months to bring in players?

Mr King, you seem to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?

Dear Doug, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans
If you didn't want to talk to me outside the CBS, you didn't have to
But you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
That's my little brother, man, he's only six years old
We waited in the blisterin' cold for you, for four hours, and you just said, "no"
That's pretty shitty, man, you're like his fuckin' idol
He wants to be just like you, man, he likes you more than I do
I ain't that mad, though I just don't like bein' lied to
Remember when we met on the bumper cars? You said if I'd write you, you would write back
See, I'm just like you in a way: I never knew my father neither
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
I can relate to what you're sayin' in your fans forum
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
'Cause I don't really got shit else, so that shit helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
See, everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like I know you, Doug, no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up
You gotta call me, man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Tom, PS: We should be together too

I wrote an email to Doug a couple of days after the stadium was purchased with about a whole list of ways in which they could add funds / revenue on matchdays and non-matchdays now that we own the stadium. Nothing groundbreaking and I'd like to think that they have a commercial team who will have considered and dismissed most of them if not all already, but at the very least I'd have expected a courtesy response, not necessarily from him, but from the club at least pretending it was him, to say thanks for your efforts and all options are under consideration.

I'm not going to post them all here to be ripped apart by the negative bunch who will proclaim half of them stupid or obvious ideas, but the way I see it, better to be suggested twice than not at all.

My favourites were about turning the arena part into pop up escape rooms, which can be really cheap to put together and gain lots of easy revenue and opening up the fan village with screens on away games or street food days in the carparks etc. Anything really that makes it useful for more days than current and all goes back into the club. I doubt the email ever actually made it to him.

God damn do I feel sorry for whichever poor admin has to pour through the submissions, thousands upon thousands of people asking what a performance director does, why didn't we sign Jamie Vardy, will we bring back Viveash, etc.

I asked if there's any plans to refurbish and/or rename the Arena hospitality venues after CCFC history or culture.

Ok smart arse, I'm sure you have much better suggestions we can ridicule?
Not sure why you think any ideas that get more revenue for the club are bad, but each to their own.

Please can we have a proper train station that works. If this is not feasible, please could we have a Monorail instead?

I bet some people will write a whole page detailed question and expect the club to take them seriously.

Biggest thing that comes to mind is the pricing for the Birmingham game. I’d like to hear a justification.

This is by far the most important question.

For a guy who seems keen to keep a good image, I'd like to know his thoughts on the widespread complaints from fans throughout the league.

Fans are consumers as evidenced by the number that people that were prepared to go no Northampton/ Birmingham during the years of angst.

FWIW. Wages, ages, discretionary income etc are all factors that CCFC seem to have missed. Yes, we have so many more people turning up, but if they price people out it will take years to get the number up again. It ain’t easy, particularly with a fair number of over 65 concessions atm.

I guess Doug is making hay while the Sun shines?

To Mr. Douglas King, Esteemed Chairman of the Footballing Battalion,

Sir,

I trust this missive finds you in good health and resolute spirit, though I must confess my own is sorely tested. Word has reached our encampment that Captain Sheaf—our stalwart leader, the very sinew of our midfield line—has been dispatched to foreign ranks without so much as a replacement summoned to our cause.

I write not in anger, but in bewilderment. The campaign ahead is long and fraught with peril. Our adversaries grow emboldened, sensing weakness in our formation. The men look to me for answers, yet I find myself staring into the fog of war with none to give. Morale wanes. Discipline frays. The dressing room, once a bastion of unity, now echoes with uncertainty.

I beseech you, sir, by all that is sacred in this noble game—what strategy compels such a manoeuvre? What reinforcements ride to our aid? If this be part of a grander plan, I pray you enlighten me, for the silence from headquarters is as chilling as a winter’s march.

Should we fall short in the coming fixtures, let it not be said that we lacked courage—but rather that we were left wanting by those charged with our provision.

Yours in duty and defiance,
Mr Seymour Butts.
