Hi all, first post on here for me.

I moved to the area when my work relocated in 2005, I do follow my home town club and have watched them a couple of times at the Ricoh in the Jewson stand, but have decided next season to regularly attend Sky Blue games, Ive paid for my very reasonably priced season ticket (by credit card, before you ask) I bought my ST when there was still a hope of survival, but League1 will do...

I'm a football fan above all and just want to see a decent game in a decent stadium, I don't want to get involved in the politics, but reading this forum over the last few weeks, it really does look bleak, that David Conn article in the Guardian last November was a bit of an eye opener, what income does the club have? they dont profit from food/drink sales, havent paid the rent etc etc

I know nowadays its all about sustainability and living withing your means but how is the club going to do that? Do Sisu want to sell ? is anyone out there a viable option? is the club still in debt?

I really wish you all the best for the future and hope you get back up at the first attempt, do you remember the days when we'd all go to a game just to cheer our side on, mod£rn football sucks:thinking about:well done Murdoch / EPL .

my main question is whats Block 27 like ? anyone from here in there? Is there a good view of the pitch in that corner?

Yep. Really good views wherever you sit.

Not saying the view of what's going on out on the pitch will be that good though.

Welcome Baginton, and at last we have a new fan.

The Ricoh has good views anywhere you sit , but i would like the club to look in to turning the seats around so they don't face the pitch, then we don't have to watch the likes of David Bell & Baker strolling around, like there on some kind of afternoon walk with the kids.

Its a another radical move to turn the seats around to face the back, but i feel most fans would be in favour of it.

Cheers all.
I'm used to misery Dorset, so i'll fit in just fine and who knows,
Rev...maybe Bell will find his level in League1 :thinking about:

my tip for a good league1 experiened player is Ian Roper currently at Bedworth, quality central defender who chips in with the odd goal too.
When the embargo is lifted ofcourse

I sit in block 27 it's less populated up top but a great view like the rest of the stadium.

Atmosphere is similar to that of a wake but maybe a few wins will change that.

Welcome.
