If the corprate facilities are being moved to a new east stand then I'd like to see the executive restaurant/players lounge knocked into one big room and turned into a proper supporters bar similar to the long bar at the saints.
Now that is a good idea...

Everyone will fancy taking us on at there place and likewise we will fancy beating everyone at home, its just whether we can actually remember where the goal is, and hopefully get an away goal.
No Away goal rule in the play-offs.

She did a lot of good, she did a lot of bad. It's up to the individual as to whether or not you think the good outweighed the bad...
Personally, I don't think that it is not without irony that the free market, de-regulised banking sector which she was so quick to champion has failed for exactly the same reasons that the nationalised industries she despised did. Namely greed, corruption, incompetance and a general feeling of being above the law.

I think this is a case of needing to know him: if Aidy thinks there's a prospect of getting his fitness back to the right level and re-building his confidence, then there's definitely a player in there that's worth persevering with. There was a brilliant JJ moment on Saturday when he was clearly badly hurt in a challenge, stayed down for about two seconds then started running hard back up the pitch with just a bit of a limp - he's a warrior. I would just love to see him get forward, drop the shoulder and cut inside, get a shot away...like he used to.
Agree with all of that actually, for me though it depends on the budget and how much he takes up of it. If he is in the "high earners" brackett than I would look else where...

To be fair to ADB, Our playing squad budget was still being hampered by Johnson's signings and the only realistic option to get out of this league was to hoof our way out, and I'm quite happy with that.
If we get promoted we will see a bigger budget and better football, if not then expect a bit more....Whooosssh.
Agreed, and with the final clear out of Johnson's signings this summer, I'd expect that money to be re-invested wisely by ADB and our style improve next year with or without promotion.

You don't have to be ungrateful to Aidy for what he has achieved to question his tactics and our away form.
The two aren't mutually exclusive.

The only one i'm not sure of, either way, is John Johnson.
I've no idea whether or not he falls into the category of high earner, but if he does than i'd release him. I really liked him when he joined and thought he would be more than capable of playing at a higher level. However, his performances have steadily got worse with every season he has been here, Saturday's was just plain awful. The own goal was unfortunate but his defending on the first was shocking.
Along with Nana, I'd expect Bayo, Robinson, Turnbull and probably Guttridge to leave, which should mean a fair chunk of the budget being freed up for next year.
