well thats obvious not gunna be in any other league are we haha

Re: changes or not
 

Something has changed dramatically we are a team in free fall devoid of ideas:

I take onboard we are a young team
Not everyone has played full season in the league before
The Crown Ground is not the slickest of football surfaces
We probably move around a lot to train
We probably have performed particulary above expectation earlier on in the Season

But the loss of form puzzles me even if you take all the above into account, you don't become a poor team overnight?

Only the Management and players know why there has been such a dip in form

:) Keeper!! what about taking a look at getting nott's forests young keeper in on a years loan deal,a lad by the name of SHANE REDMOND currently on loan at Darlington till end of the season:)

Re: changes or not
 

I'm sure there must be a reason no one else has mentioned it but why not get Kenny back ? Second choice at Rochdale for the later half of this season and with them going up I can't see his chances of first team with them getting any better?

Re: changes or not
 

has been mentioned sam, couple of times, rochdales keeper is on loan also from rovers, so that may change things? i agree though n mentioned its worth a cheeky bid on some thread or other.;)

Re: changes or not
 

Only thing with getting a decent Keeper on loan is you run the risk of them getting recalled at some point.

I would imagine Kenny would be under contract so that would be a no go

I would think there will be some quality number one's out there come the end of the season, who are free agents and unattached. The guarantee and lure of first team football may be enough in itself

The team needs strenthening of that there is no doubt. This of course depends on money. The Directors have a responsiblilty to provide the money, either through their own efforts or pockets. The Commercial Dept should be making sure that all games are sponsored, the weekly draw is canvassing for more members etc. Then it is up to JC to go out and get the best available players while working within the budget set. This yeats squad as not been good enough, proof being the lack of changes in the team even when tiredness as crept in. those who have not been good enough should be shown the door. We must realise that we will never get the crowds in to sustain a Football League Club so it is vital that people stop thinking of cheaper prices simple maths 1200 X £10 = £12000 £10 being an average. £12000 divided by £5 =2400. 2400 every week sorry guys it will never be.

Re: changes or not
 

A very good post that opens up a lot of debate realating to Budgets right through the Club

The Biggest of which has to be taking us back a Year "Don't Live Beyond Your Means"

The hardcore will buy the Season Tickets bringing revenue into the Club but only at one point during the Season, it is then down to the Club to get them spending in the Shop and facilities connected to the Club:

Programmes, food, shirts, drinks etc.

The second wave and probably just as important from a revenue stream is the walk on's

If you aimed at a 1000 including away followings into that as say an average of £10 per walk on to take into account the spectrum of ticket prices per game that brings in £10k per game or 230k over the 23 league games, plus any bits they buy while at the ground.

Then there is a you say sponsorship for games, stands, ground, shirts, shorts

While we have small attendances we have growth to aim for that must be the target:)
