We need to rethink the over used mantra 'finishing the east stand' as the one thing that will save our club, it won't, yes it'll make some much needed extra revenues dependant on how well it's fitted out depending on what budget it has, but this will not stop the reason that causes us to lose of over £300,000 per season in lost gate revenue when playing as league 1 club..
Revenue lost directly by our ground capacity being way too low in order to properly sell the dozen or so top matches to the maximum against the much more attractive and bigger opponents we will face when back in L1.
We need a definitive understanding as to what it will take to allow our club to trade properly in L1 in order to become established at that level and collectively push towards a solution.
Now we can be almost sure Thomas won't be finishing off anything anytime soon, it would be a great time to define exactly what our club needs.
On this I agree completely - however the sticking point remains that we have no say on what KT does (or doesn't do).
However no regime lasts for ever and my wish would be an owner (and yes it is most likely to be
an owner) shares with people a tangible development plan for sustainable growth - of course a number of fans will need to wise up to the fact that time scales may not be exact and actual budgets may not match expectations but the key here is sharing a plan with the members of the club to gain a true sense of belonging.
I would not ignore the fact that some servants of the club have tried in a many ways to do this but at best it simply retains the small fanbase we have - leadership has to come from the top and I sadly have to concede in my opinion KT is not a leader.
