Re: Lets Get Back to the Arena for next Season - Gimme Shelt

Not our decision and apparently MRFC have decided they don't want us back there anyway.

Re: Whitley Bay

There's very few real fans who cause trouble but I suppose the bright lights of Whitley bay and an evening in Newcastle bring the less desirable out.

Whitley Bay

My son just mentioned there are a few "nutters" going up tomorrow on the train.
Lets home there's no repeat of the Billingham game as so far this season it's been a really good atmosphere at away games.

Re: Season tickets for next season.

Pete is just trolling for attention like he always does. . A bit unfair to DP he hardly ever posts nowadays. I'll be renewing but as I said in another post two of the lads I've gone with for years aren't as they can't attend mid week games and they are getting fed up of HP. Tried to persuade them b...

Not sure DBC actually really care, they are concentrating all their efforts on slashing budgets and we are well down on the priority list.

Re: Lets get back to Darlo quick!

I agree a swift move back to town is an absolute priority, under the correct terms and conditions. In my opinion the support is ebbing away, slowly but surely. A winning team would normally expect an upward curve in attendances, not sure that is the case with us. Dread to think if next season, whic...

Lets get back to Darlo quick!

Although I've enjoyed my time at Heritage Park I hope we are looking at all options to get back as soon as possible. With 1883 owing £100k still and the CIC owing £30k (think this is right) the only way to make money is through the gate. With only small numbers likely to join the CIC over the coming...

Re: Fans Forum tonight

The CIC board is in place already. Exactly, the self appointed CIC board is in place and will control who is added to it and will not be having elections at this point in time if I heard correctly tonight so the fans won't have their say. Cynically it looks to me the fans put up the money and other...

Re: Fans Forum tonight

Glad someone asked the question about the Supporters Club 15% plus the individual investors. They've certainly been treated as insignificant this far yet if I'm not mistaken combined they own 47% of the club. I suppose the SC just deceided to put their money into 1883 whereas the Trust had to put t...

Seems a sensible approach to me with all parties working together, the Trust has been totally transformed from the Tony Taylors days so i value their judgement on these major issues.

Re: The Negative Press

For fucks sake we need £50k a not unsubstantial amount for an overspend. Instead of thanking all those concerned the board need to investigate where it went so badly wrong fans groups can't just dig into their savings every 12 months.

Re: Laura Drew & Martin Jesper...

The problem how I see is that we have a fans owned club which has been run by fans which unfortunately due to their lack of experience of running a business and having an eye for cash flow and P&L etc has caused problems.
