  1. The article says that the top age to be a member is 70. I have watched Fev since 1938. I am 90 and still a season ticket holder. I also have all my mental abilities. With over 40 years of mangement experience and degrees as well as being a retried bank manager who had 32 staff. I feel I could be a useful member. I have awards for marketing and sales. I feel the age restriction is not justified.

  2. Here's another one. Sung to the tune of   "Joshua, Joshua, Sweeter than lemon squash you are."

    Great FR, Great FR;                                                                                                       We are your fans, oh yes we are,                                                                                E by gosh we are, Great FR, FR.

     

    Done with hand clapping.

  4. 56 minutes ago, The Phantom Horseman said:

    Minikin was in my opinion one of our most consistent players last year and he played almost every game. Rumoured to be retiring but not confirmed yet.

    On the first page it says he has signed for 2025. Is that not right?

  5. Lots of speculation. Any new signings?  And of the players we  have left, have they all signed yet or are there some more departures? Seems that everything is in still being sorted out at the moment. In spite of promises shown. I have paid for my season ticket. Hope they don't forget me in the New Year.

  6. Talking of revenue I remember in the past when I was on the board that I (on my own initiative) looked at advertisements by local businesses. I contacted them all and said that they would only be read by people buying the paper or magazine. I suggested that at a resonable price they could put a poster in the the ground that would be seen by a large number of people and increase income. Quite a few went along with the proposal and they increased selling and we increased in come. With the new developements coming along could we cater for posters for businesses ? 

  7. All my efforts were volunteered. I raised over a £1000 for the Rovers with my efforts. I will continue to help if needed. My thoughts were not just for myself but for other pensioners who are  having hard times, but want to continue supporting.

  8. Wasn't looking at coming in for nothing. Was hoping that the season ticket would be reduced to its former price of £150. I will continue to enjoy life. Have a daily walk and use my brain at numerous times. Still fairly active on a volunteer basis. I still give people advice and help. I was just pointing out that the conceesions were for new possible supporters, I simply asked if we older ones were given any thought. When you think of what we have done in the past, raising money, improving the ground, doing various things at game time, that some consideration would be given to older supporters.

  9. I am 90. Lost my 300 pound fuel allowance, my car insurance has gone up a large amount, hoped there would be some increased concession for older supporters. Older people are feeling the pinch.  I have supported since 1938 and will scrat together the amount quoted if I can. 

  10. Imagination is very rare these days. I used it in sales when I was working but see little of it now. Expand the mind and look outward, talk to people about their requirements, solve their problems. People recommending you is far better than posters. Get on to their wavelength and fully understand them. If you are selling and they cant afford it, but want it, then reach an arrangement without charging them interest. I used to go to people in business and advise them, looking at their way of doing things and putting them on the right path. Do no overstock, get your cash flow in proper order, give discounts on items you want to lower the stock of. Check their finance efforts are in the best way of controlling them and so on . Finance them if funds were needed. Lots of it has gone. I got shopkeepers and stall holders to recommend each other if they didnt sell the product the customer was looking for and they did likewise for the recommender. I told all of them to send customers to me in the bank. if they needed finance to buy a product. Then passed the money to the shopholder or store with a small payment from them to my branch for the sales being made. Thus we all ended happy. Widen your horizon to succeed.
