Once in a while that sort of statistic is going to happen and there’s a variety of reasons for it. It would be equally ridiculous to compare our attendance when we play against Swansea with their attendance against whoever they’re playing away next. The facts are, despite them claiming to have superior away support, we have higher average away attendances than them every single season. From what I’ve seen they rarely sell out their allocations so they can’t even blame smaller grounds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nervous little laughs shouldn't inspire any confidence, that this man (however nice) knows anything at all about how to progress the club. At this point in the questioning, he should be saying things along the lines of, we've spoken to three different groups about stadium partnerships and it's all positive but, I cannot name those groups. The stadium sites are all within 10 miles of our heartland. On the training ground, we have been in discussion with the local authority about the plans and are working with them to provide the best facilities possible, which are acceptable to the authority and an application will follow shortly. Instead, it's a nervous laugh and a waffle about reassuring people, which doesn't actually reassure anyone. It would appear that he's trying to plod along with little financial resources at his disposal, other than the odd sale of a player and season ticket sales, because his family have told him, no more investment from us, find it from elsewhere. And he's hoping for a night in shining armour to turn up and rescue him from his personal commitment. Long may this waffling continue. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no reason why he couldn’t say they’d employed architects to draw up some plans. He used an awful lot of words but said absolutely nothing at all. Just vague uninspiring waffle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 As said previously, DS owns the training ground so they can disclose whatever they want to the fans. The bloke or his family are not doing a single thing, and I would bet whatever you want that there will be no training ground ready for next season (their own). I thought he was the man in charge (not the purse strings), if so why at the end "has the club been up for sale" - "no, not that I know of ha ha ha". They are fooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 oh dear............... lex Baker @alexbaker1967 15m15 minutes ago More I agree, saw the game in Saturday (North stand) and we heard the reason why the stands haven’t been finished is that they haven’t paid the contractors as the club doesn’t have the money & that Wael has had is accounts frozen. Pinch of salt needed but smoke and fire..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on that one, but I do remember a very sparsely populated away end at The Bees for a Tuesday night league cup tie around the year 2000 - we lost 2-1 and it was absolutely p*ssing down - I only went because I was working in London at the time...

22A Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Now they're an established League One club, does their ground match these requirements even? https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/appendix-1---membership-criteria-regulation-8/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody dire time - bit of relecfion on where we are now! Great memory on the score, but it was a league cup match - August 2005 - Barnet 4 City 2 - but then just a few months later we went there under Gary Johnson in the LDV Vans trophy and got spanked again 3-2!

Rich Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 When he answered (if that's the correct terminology) the question about whether it was finances holding back the training ground, he replied that it was a combination of things, budget (set by himself), what the club wanted, what the club needed. Basically, the budget is too low to produce a training ground, but the family money is safe, as it could always go for housing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I thought the training ground pitch was looking good by sag standards. Just need a few more nettles and weeds to stop the ball rolling freely. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) In response to them qualifying for later rounds of the league cup.. there's no point in not taking this one seriously. I recall a couple of great runs to the quarter finals back in the day that had Eastville rocking. Anyway, we have to go one better then the sh**e, don't we?

The Gasbuster Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Henbury Sag being called out, AGAIN ! "Just look at the stadium Henbury, you think thats before the game? No knowledge? Let's talk abour lack on knowledge shall we? HenburyGas - known on the forum to talk out of his arse 24/7. I even came to your shop once fella (where you did a poor job in replacing my hard drive but luckily for you I moved abroad shortly after) and you told me that "I'm in the know of what's going on with the stadium and I can't name names but now Sainsbury's have pulled out, we're still building the stadium with a certain shop that is similar to Lidl - also of German origin, is going to buy our land and we'll build our stadium." So how about you cut the crap & perhaps, why don't you give me some proof where I'm having a moan about something I have no knowledge about? Where have I done that? I'd love to see your evidence. In fact, I'd love to see any evidence of the constant nonsense you spout. Or wait, did your made up contact in your made up world tell you again?"
