....I disagree - Bournemouth for most of the time I have been watching football have operated at a similar level (probably average one division higher than us), similar gates and a smaller catchment area - their rise to the premiership had little to do with redevelopment (the stadium is still a pitiful 12K) but completely to do with a billionaire owner
what we would give for a 12k capacity staduim in which to grow into!
Im not bothered about billionaire owners just small steady amounts of sustainable growth over a few years working very closely with our support base and not wasting any more time being reliant on speculators who are just passing through to make a quick buck for themselves.
These words and sentences do not apply to us... please stop using them... Darlington, stad:mk, Bournemouth, Billionaire and Kelvins nonsensical ' Sixfields is all right for now' 😂😂😂

I agree Beds, why compare with others and what they have done, we need to do whats best for us and yes that means expansion of north and south and finish the east, unfortunately I dont think it will happen until we get an owner who is in it for just the football and not to make money on land. I hope it happens but until then unfortunately we are stuck with what we have and I have to say what we have in KT is better than what we had with Cardoza. I just hope he manages to sell us soon.

Now I understand - we can’t use those words but Wycombe Wanderers, local consortiums, fan ownership, owners interested only in the well being of the club, sustainable growth and KT is a bad man all can be used.

Not really the way grown ups discuss a subject is it?

Which I predict will be seating about 5000 fans in 10 years time when the owner either gets bored or realizes he can never really compete with the big boys.

In some respect Beds is right the rich sugar daddy will take you up to the heights but bring you back down again. The baby steps local sustainability might take you up a level on a consistent basis but never much more - & human nature will ensure the fans are no happier and always want more.

whilst we all agree we should be doing so so much better, using possible failings in the future as a reason to give up and not improve the clubs stature to be competitive in the  division above is a bit drastic. Even if we were to fall back into league 2 after several successful seasons gained from having better infrastructure and bigger attendances, would put us in a much better position to recover more quickly.

The lack of communication lately is piss poor. KT silent. Either start communicating more or get the f*ck out to someone that cares more.

Everybody still happy and convinced that KT is going to finish the East stand?

Is the deafening silence being heard yet by some of you?

Is it time yet for me and Beds to say "TOLD YOU SO" ?

Obviously the manager's fault we have not won in 4 matches, even though we are back in league 2 and in a much better position as a club to go forward - NOT ! Nothing to do that we have a board that is doing little to nothing to take us forward and aren't bothered - so why should the players and management, other than going through the motions, saying the right things etc etc whilst absolutely nothing around this football club really changes.

How much longer ? Expect we will bump along until Jan then go and bring in another 6 or 7 players so the 'sheep' fans are happily fed more crap

I may have missed it but have the leases actually been sorted yet or are you just on another rant for the sake of it?

I actually don't want KT to finish the east stand as it's going to look awful and be a complete waste.  I want a new owner to come in with the finance to remove the steel structure at the back of the stand, take for the roof and build a decent stand with another tier of seating and boxes along the top.

Even if it hasn't, it's about time we saw some plans, right?

For all we know Thomas migh not have even built an extention on his house but we are entrusting him with a
 Structure that could make or break our club?
From his first thinly veiled utterances of 'finishing the east' alarm bells were ringing, what could this entail and how much land would he need to secure before doing a most basic of fit outs?
So would it not be better for us as the clubs support base express our visions of what we want and agree on for our ground redevelopment?
It now looks like Thomas and co have nothing of substance to offer the redev and if some plans as to what the clubs supporters want to see are in place, the new owners will be in no doubt as to what we expect and desperately need.
Maybe the trust could canvas opinion and present there findings, surely this would be a step in the right direction?

No not at all. We are entrusting him to work with legitimate businesses who specialise in the building of stadiums (Buckinghams, Mace etc) along with professional certified architects and civil engineers and having robust contracts in place.
If KT and his mates are on the sites with a hard hat and a trowel then i'll be sure we're in trouble.

FFS he's had very nearly 3 years to produce plans for the 3 million pounds KT promised for investing into the east stand.
KT has no intention of spending another penny, he is desperately trying to offload us onto anyone stupid enough.

Can someone from within the club give a clear and concise assessment of what the F*** is happening.
Or is nothing happening until we are sold .
Poor communication and PR .
The malaise around the place comes from the top .

You could say “I told you so”. But you’d sound like a dick. Whilst you are more than capable of repeating the same message, you are no closer to a solution than my cat is. So, that means you are just a noisy version of the rest of the hapless souls who are not sure which way to turn, or what to expect next.

Let’s consider, as we all have, that KT does nothing. We fall into a further decline. Other than do what you and a few others do. Constantly stating the obvious.. What actually is your plan, your solution?
