Fans Advisory Board: Minutes, Discussion etc ..

[St Edmundsbury Cobbler]

There's a couple of things that I'd like raising if you will....

1. Buying a match ticket or getting a membership for a Junior supporter online
Even though I log in on my account which has a Season Ticket attached to it, I can't arrange a membership or buy a match ticket for my daughter without having to buy a ticket or membership for me. I realise you can't just buy a junior ticket separately, but surely logged in on an account with a Season Ticket attached to it, I should be able to do this?

2. This is pretty minor, but things like this irritate me.  There's a sign regarding a Suggestion Box opposite the North/East Stand food kiosk but there's no suggestion box below it, so the sign needs removing please 

You can return now to the East Stand access road if you want.

So no-one cares that as a club / fans we lose £1m extra to the owners land grab warehousing. ?

No one cares that £1m could go to increasing the playing budget or signing a decent prospect  or proven star for £300k ?

No one cares that £1m could go towards expending the North or South to increase income further that could increase the playing budget that could establish us a decent L1 club ?

No one cares that £1m could go to dramatically improving the fans experience with various improvements like hot water in the toilets, increase and modernising Carr’s bar ?

Sorry but are you really sure that noneof the fans you all claim to represent, no one cares or is interested  in any of those things ?   

Yet when you read the replies to the surveys on this thread, including yours Mr Bird, almost everyone seems to want bigger ground and better facilities !

Excuse me for asking but are you actually an adult?

That'll be me 😁 Our Derek has had a bit of a fixation about me for some time now. Even though, as he argues, we would all like similar things. If I'm honest. I think him and his friends on the Trust board. Who haven't had much luck over recent years. Backing the wrong horse. Chasing their own tails. Falling flat on their faces etc etc. You get the picture. Secretly having a sneering admiration for some of the opinions on here.

Anyway. I have asked him a polite question. I'm sure he'll answer me soon.

Bulls*** spin. Ask a question line an organisation that claims to represent fans and we might give a more objective reply.

No it couldnt. They are not wiping their asses with it or burning it to keep warm

We care about aspects of the finances and how they can be better managed. What we don't buy into is your (Trusts)  characterisation and negative spin that you have been trying to sow, and failed, for years which has seen the destruction of the worlds first football trust.
Yet when you read the replies to the surveys on this thread, including yours Mr Bird, almost everyone seems to want bigger ground and better facilities !
Of course they do. I want a bigger house. I want hospitality tickets to Euro 2024 final and a bigger dick. What I dont have is the money or a plan on how to get them (apparently just pulling on it for 40 years doesn't make it longer.).

As I have said elsewhere. Well done for doing the survey. Now please put it into something tangible we can get behind, not just a number of social media posts stating the obvious and feaces flinging

[TVOR]

Noted. Thanks.

Could you raise parking, in particular the use of Edgar Mobbs Way and if it could be advertised more. Seems a waste as its sat there. As per a different post, not sure on the complexities of who owns it, Saints being at home etc. but seems to be an easy answer to our problems.

[Terryfenwickatemyhamster]

The Trusts survey is classic projection. Coming off the tail end of a number of serious failings on their behalf. Rather than focussing on their own performance and canvassing their members in terms of areas where they could improve, they once again turn their attention to the club. In the form of a survey with non subjective questions, to an audience that could only structure their answers to the loaded questions. And with no clear objective as to what they hope to do with the outcome.

At a time when the main body of the support are happy just to see some progress on the long overdue East stand, they pop up clearly stating it's simply not enough. And issue a survey that if the results were to come to fruition, would expect millions more to be spent. All of this aimed at an ownership group who have taken 8-9 years to start the East stand.

In addition to this. The chap who is the meat in club/supporters sandwich, name Tom Cliffe. Finds himself in the crosshairs for trying to put something tangible together. And Derek promotes me to the head of the Hotelend. So he can besmirch me more 😂😂 Oh well. It's all good fun.

What has happened to the head of the Hotelend. Has anyone checked on him recently?

[Shoemaker]

In fairness he might be raising his issues with Tom to get answered rather than being constantly ridiculed by others on here.
That’s good news for him and good news for those who disagree with him on here.
A win/win for all involved.

Not quite what I meant mate. The head of THE was the Marquis last time I checked.

Bored with his own invention. At times I don't blame him.

He is at at stage of events where the likes of us that prattle on, come a very poor second to the real important things in life.

Really? I thought it was Evers. 😉





PS I thought I had better put a smiley in case he thinks I am serious or having a dig. No my friend, I am just having a laugh as always.

It's obvious to all now that the Cobblers have future proofed themselves as a lower league club for the foreseeable...The next 20 to 30 years?
Thomas has no interest in the club or its future progress its just about the land and the easy low hanging pickings, which has been commendable,  he's played it so well using Tom and a plethora of yes men to allow this scenario to befall the Cobblers.

My point today is if Northampton is to ever again be represented by a  progressive football club pushing up the divisions,  surely it would necessitate a whole new club to be formed in the town that captures the imagination.

Wouldn't this be great?

[Zen Master]

No.
