I'm actually pleased with most answers but only if the action is put into practice. The Block 13 and safe standing answers are pleasing.

The transport answer was poor and clearly the club aren't arsed about it. Suggesting a mini bus from the tavern as an answer is disappointing.

My biggest concern is that there may be a big increase in ST prices.

As Equality and Diversity is now a standing agenda item, simple question- Who speaks for women?

Clearly there are women in attendance. They represent the club or marketing, or JSBs / children, and disabled. Great.
I repeat, who speaks for women supporters specifically?

Can this be asked at the next meeting please.

If they decide they need someone then women supporters have to select someone. Not the club or co-opt from elsewhere - hey, you're a woman can you be the token.

Many thanks

Yep. Also sounds very similar to the stuff spouted a few years back about the squad investment coming from fans buying season tickets

Just finished
I pushed a number of questions and got some answers but walls to others
Very interesting dynamic between Doug and Dave
No announcement imminent on stadium deal
Language talking about maximising revenue including season tickets and other tickets but nothing will be presented until arena deal done
No doubt it will be
block 13 being looked at
Away concourse set up for 6000 visiting fans and it’s one area so can’t have home fans and away fans that end
Gap not a safety issue but numbers that police will allow. Maximum of 5000 not 6000
Click to expand...
we have had away and home fans in the stand though

Are the men only asking questions on behalf of men only then or as usual are tiu going out of your way to be offended? My wife and daughter attend regularly and their concerns mirror mine not in any way gender specific.

Although that does remind me, can we have some trans toilets please.

It's definitely important to get on the stage before WSL gets too big. Man United jumped in at a good time.

What do you think the crowd would be for a one off game under the Coventry City badge?

Man Utd had to be press ganged into starting a team to take up the place that was made for them by kicking out the clubs that had taken it seriously in the first place

Quite an emphatic answer too not just they won't be sponsoring us next season but going as far to say there won't be another betting sponsor while he's at the club. That's a statement right there.

I appreciate that was under SISU but we were sold that before

'Back us and we can invest and back Mark Robins'


We did. 13.5k of us in record numbers. And also with merchandise

The backing we recieved in return was selling Hyam to pay for some grass and couldnt afford our tax bill

The answers are the same as fisher used to give and he got slaughtered.

Be prepared for a hefty price rise on season tickets

Seriously has anyone ever placed a bet based on the back of a shirt sponsor? Or for that matter ever bought anything due to shirt sponsor.
I bet alcohol sales plummeted after they were dropped.
If gambler's want to bet they'll bet.
Is Doug going to close the Casino also.

If it didn't work, the sponsors wouldn't pay the money.

Dividends either be better for them than random sponsorship. If not then they can buy me a cheese sandwich while they're at it.

They will have their dividends, sponsorship has always been a way to avoid Tax amongst other things.

Can’t wait for us to raise season ticket prices myself - loads of other clubs in the Championship are either freezing or cutting prices instead, we’re going to absolutely batter them with all that extra revenue

I’m amazed people are going on about safe standing and not looking at an underlying message it’s down to supporters to increase any transfer budget by funding it themselves

Police and safety group opinion is that higher number of away fans (i.e. above 3000) brings more fans looking for the day out and potentially more ‘risk groups’. Police and stadium groups nervousness increases beyond this number.

Btw season tickets were cited as being important for cash flow over the summer by SISU more than revenue per se, I thought that those days were behind us?
