Off the field the support is growing for the reds and the ultras have certainly helped in the climb up the table. The Clayton end is awash with colour, loud with song and bursting with pride. However there are one or two cracks appearing in the relationship between the stewards and the crowd. I call for a public meeting in the club house with Mick Shultz, the police, Lancashire county council, all fans groups who stand/sit on the Clayton end, and all other parties who have jurisdiction over the match day running of the stand. Yes all sides need to co-operate to make the ground safe as well as happy, but I will not have the old cliché that rules are rules trotted out again as a cover for lack of open dialogue. We have visited grounds all across the land and up and down the leagues and the one thing we can report back is that there is no constancy with how the rules are interpreted. Maybe if the police and LCC talk directly to the rate payers who use the stand then we can reach some agreement. One thing is for sure things cannot go on as they are and open talks can only be a good thing for the club. Perhaps we need to speed up the share issue that was talked about in the last share holders meeting this would allow all fans to buy shares for a reasonable amount and then attend, vote and veto plans in the proposed future shareholders meetings, just a thought!.

MICK (SHULTZ) you have asked us for help many times and we always come through now its your turn.
