First and foremost there has to be a compact between the fans, supporters and the club’s board; the past couple of months have been traumatic for all sides but continuing to point fingers at Rob Hay’s and David O’Neil will only serve to keep those divisions alive. Healing between the different sides and opinions must take precedence if the “Club” is to move on. Put the past behind us.

Mr. Khan, Mr. O’Neil and Rob need to be speaking from the same team sheet from now on, they have to be seen as one unit moving the club forward; working together. This is easier than most of us would think; after all they appear to be doing it already; so why can’t we.

Facilities are ****e; there’s no winter cover behind the stands so it will be less attractive for families; no matter how good the football, if your hungry and ****ed wet at half time your not going to enjoy it if your dragging a couple of moaning cold kids round to the burger van in the driving rain.

Before the game, in-between and after the final whistle it’s dead as a fart. Get some family entertainment organised; post match you could have the Pipe Band or the local Drumming groups, half time the Cheer leaders (or maybe not) or local talent singing or just plain Club information being delivered over the tannoy by one of the girls with a clear pleasant voice….Just make it entertaining/fun/interesting for families/community.

The Crown could become a centre point for local talent to make their mark, at the same time local charities or interest groups could have a marquee behind the stands providing a little distraction between play.

It’s all been said before: better bogs (Toilets that people would be comfortable walking into), food outlets (Christ; walk into Lancaster on any Saturday afternoon and you will find food from all over the world) Make it interesting, get some Asian food pitches going, and what about Polish or Chinese…it won’t cost the club anything but everyone will benefit.

One last time….a working group made up of supporters, the board, community (all cultures) business and council. Meeting, Talking, Acting.
