You don't sit by me do you? I've got two older guys behind me who must have both won the Balloon D'or at some point given the level of criticism they spout all game. One nearly kicked my mum in the face at one point, trying to show Wright that he should be shooting. I'm a bit worried they are going to have a cardiac arrest one day with how apoplectic with rage they get at every tiny mistake, or sideways or back wards pass, misplaced shot, etc, etc.

Was your use of "Balloon" deliberate? I'd like to think it was

All this money being spent on the Arena, new bars, club shop, safe standing, dressing rooms etc, who pays for this, is it Frasers, is it the club or do they work together. I do wonder sometimes whether Doug and Fraser group are the same and that Doug is just a front. Just my own theory I have, expect to be laughed at I know

Infrastructure stuff I'd expect to be Frasers, although the better the stadium the higher the rent is likely to be. Stuff that's directly for us, like staff standing or the work that looks like it's been done in the dressing room area from the latest video posted is probably paid for by the club.

Total guesswork on my part but it does seem the relationship is pretty healthy these days.

All the stewards are now Frasers employees, as the 'old' CCFC ones were retained but demoted from their positions!!! My pal was a stand supervisor but is now just a 'common pleb' ( his words )
One thing I noticed on Friday was several people bringing pints into the seats, just like they were at Rugby, they had walked past two stewards at the entrance and one at the bottom of the stand just watched them go to their seats. Eventually one of the old guard realised and asked them to drink up, but the new lot look to be fecking useless.

Did wonder if something had changed. Our usual stand there watching the match not paying attention to the crowd steward has gone and been replaced by a couple of chaps who were 100% concentrating on the crowd. Also noticed they had someone, presumably a supervisor, check in with them multiple times during the game.

I wonder when a new rent agreement will be announced?

The fact we’re spending so much of our own money on the ground is a clear indication that we aren’t moving again

Think it was in this thread

club have clarified that over 14’s can come to the games without adult supervision


Good Morning Pete,

I hope you are well. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have had 1 email from a 15 year old fan to tell us that this happened, but I am hoping that this is the only one!

Children aged 14 and over are able to attend the games without an adult, so they should not have been stopped from entering. I have forwarded this information on to our Matchday Operations manager to ensure the correct information is relayed to stewards ahead of the next game.

Kind Regards,

Jodie Jones

Well if the Frasers Group own the CBS, they should pay someone to Jet Wash the Roof, it's that Bad the Sun Light doesn't Shine through the Roof of the South Stand because of all of the Algae on the Roof blocking the Sun Light.

Short answer - there is no connection with DK and Frasers

Or it should ferret and the club should say
How would that lads parents feel if he became unwell or got thumped or whatever happens to kids these days?
It can’t be on the club surely
Like you I went with my school friends from I don’t know definitely 14 and possibly younger

But they were willing to let him walk home on his own, by refusing him entry.
That would have been on the club should anything had happened to the lad.
