Couldn't agree more!
The reputation of the Club was damaged enormously during the last few weeks of the SOS Appeal and it will take more than cheaper tickets to get people back to the Crown Ground. Ilyas has to be the one being the public face of the Club and be very pro-active in putting forward a positive message ... it can't be Rob Heys/David O'Neill, at least for now, because of the mistrust that they generated. Plus, the players have to be used more in the Community so again we can move away from the image that we unfortunately generated up to last week.
It will be a slow rebuilding process, but we now have a more united Club than I can remember for many a year!
