I reckon who our chairman and manager will be in August could have as much of an impact on crowds as the admission priceIndeed, if Rowley and Doughty (Heathcote) are still in charge then i wont be attending next season regardless of price, which after 25 years is a shame. However with a new Chairman and manager and some ambition for promotion, I'd happily pay £14 per game. In order to be ultra competitive though we will need to charge higher than other clubs, unless we have someone to make up the shortfall.
You're right. I'm only coming down if it is still Graham and Matt next August.
I want to know who replaces him. ...
I also want to know what happens to the share holding he had? Does he have to forfeit some of these shares or forced to sell them? I would imagine they need to be available to a new board member.
Not sure as to the answer of some of your questions, but resigning from the board normally does not trigger a requirement to sell shares (not even sure if he held any shares anyway)
However, who would want to replace him?? Alty FC is on the way down..these things tend to be cyclical in life, but anybody smart in business knows that a down cycle can easily lead to insolvency. So who wants to risk being a director of a fairly high profile entity that goes bankrupt. I am not saying Alty will go bankrupt...its just a logical consequence of any business that is failing for whatever reason. Some survive, others don't. I think we will survive, even after relegation this season, but honestly I cannot be sure.
So then there are a few types of people who would volunteer for director. Maybe a representative of a major sponsor, who is fairly secure in their own career and don't care about the risk of a bankruptcy on their CV. Or a fan representative (can't see this happening, but who knows). Anybody with money to invest almost certainly won't do it unless they gain control. Or an idiot who does not understand risk. Or nobody at all.
Did I miss any options???
Are you describing the Chairman or Vice Chairman there?A bloke gives his time to the club over some years and gets grief?
Thanks for your efforts, shame it ended amidst a shambolc collapse.
Was he an asset to the club? Undoubtedly.
Was he also the most patronising, abrupt, arrogant and downright rude individual I have ever met? Absolutely.
Thanks, but I won't be spilling any tears. At least this may make the board more approachable.
unfortunately staying away isn't an effective protest because we are still getting 900 at home, vocal protest and shaming the Board into doing the right thing are our only options.So, protests on Saturday?
The best and most effective protest is to follow my lead and simply stay away. Although I could be tempted to turn up on Saturday and set fire to my season ticket on the centre spot.
better players? more tenacity? I don't know who you've been watching or have you been taken in my by the bullsh*t interviews with our management team.do you think we should have kept Harvey ? .What was Newby like?Looked lively, if not a little lightweight.
Well, I'm going to be controversial tonight and not popular ...but I'm gonna say it. And, having been to every home game and only missed 2 away games all season I feel I have the right ...but I was pissed off with our fans picking out 2 players ( Cyrus and Hannigan) for direct stick today. Booing the ref for not sending Cyrus off, and replying to the Fylde support who were chanting Toms name with " you can have him back " is out of order. Particularly as these guys were right in front of the fans...I wonder if you'd be as brave on your own or say them face to face?
Not too sure what you expected today, and I applaud you for making the effort to go, but it's counter productive to offer support by travelling then to loudly slag off individuals (who are not making errors deliberately). Plus, I happened to think Hannigan played well today - but of course that is personal opinion.
I'm all for the Roweley chants --he does need to go -- but he's not on the pitch and I was unhappy at these 2 players being picked out like that.
Tend to agree if I'm honest but I think and hope that they were more tongue in cheek chants than anything laughing at our own demise, especially that of Hannigan. I think most supporters would agree that he alone isn't the problem this season.
As for people saying Doughty out etc I'd have to disagree, no manager can undo what has happened here in such a short space of time, you'd need a miracle. You can't just get rid of every single manager that comes through the door if you don't see instant results, it's going to take a lot of time to turn this around.
No, because I saw absolutely no fight from him whatsoever, we actually got worse I'd say plus the players he brought in added nothing. I've seen some better players under doughty already and a little bit more tenacity. I think that's earned him some more time if nothing else. Besides the season is gone now, what manager in his right mind would want to come here until the end of the campaign?
I do. No point in sacking Harvey, unless he was replaced by someone better. Doughy was never going to work.do you think we should have kept Harvey ? .What was Newby like?Looked lively, if not a little lightweight.
