Not at all but because I've already said in previous messages that there has been some good work from the club but a Halloween party it keep the fans interested just doesn't cut it sorry The club is in a bad place at the minute and it doesn't help with delusional fans praising the club for literally anything no loyal town fan can say they are happy with the squad at the minute or the lack off info we have going into the new season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids clubs and initiatives are EXACTLY whats been missing in years gone by. They're the future, they're the ones who will get their parents to take them to the games, get their parents to buy the new merchandise etc. This along with the relationships with the community clubs has been excellent. It rubs people up the wrong way having such consistent negative comments on how the club is ran, and not offering any services to possibly improve it. Keep up the good work Graeme! Yours and everyone else's hard work isn't lost on me and the majority of genuine fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the reds giving away season tickets, if only 5% take it up and bring paying adults then it will have a great impact on attendances and finances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What information exactly do you think Graeme and the club should have made public already? Why is the club in a bad place? Why are the fans that have more patience than you delusional? If the league was to start in a two weeks I wouldn't be happy with the squad but its not, its two months. As for the info, I am happy up to press as I'm sure it will be shared when the time is right.

DavidM Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Why did we go and get promoted … its been more bloody trouble than its worth ! Seriously though , for any grumbles we may have , to say the club is in a ‘ bad place ‘ is frankly ridiculous . I and many others have seen us in a bad place in years past . Now we’ve a great coach , lots of good local talent , people working their socks off down there who will be busting a gut to get us as competitive as possible within our means - they aren’t stupid , good numbers coming down again and , err ,there was one more thing i forgot … oh yes , we just got promoted , won a trophy and gave me one of my best days in ages with memories that will long last .

Hes the same "town fan" that guaranteed Fitzt had signed for the jam, and when it was announced that Matty Henson had signed moaned that the jam are better at announcing players because they announced some signings a few days after their fans talked about them on a forum. Of course he's a big town fan though....honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David69 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 The majority of us know the board,volunteers and chris etc. Are doing the best they can for the club.

havenhater Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 6 hours ago, The Voodooguru said: I understand some of you want all the squad, shirts, chairman etc done and dusted, and I suppose in a perfect world so would us all, including Chris. Being critical of the club is a bit premature though isn't it? Although I'm making some of this up maybe because our chairman is stepping down, we were the last to know what league we were playing in, and because our directors are part time volunteers, we are a bit behind ideally we would like to be. But what if the home kit hasn't been announced because the main sponsor is linked to who will be the new chairman and they are bringing the sponsorship with them or they want to wait until sufficient replica shirts are available in stock to buy? What if some player targets have been missed out on so others are being spoken to, or others are in place as loan deals which we can't announce yet? What if the club were say we were looking to sign a player and this alerted other clubs closer to where the player lived and we lost him because they made him an offer? Remember what happened to Mick Jenkins? If we get to a fortnight from the start of the season and we are still no further on then the club deserves some criticism but I'd be surprised if the next fortnight doesn't see things become sorted.

I am sure Chris will find the players he needs before the first game of the season,So express your feelings and frustrations TBW and there is many more fans going through the same situation has you are..

As I remember and feel free anyone to put me right, Town fans got wind of Newcastle being interested in one of our players and issued a few hands off our Mick messages to them. Newcastle hadn't been after Mick but changed their minds after seeing the stir it caused and signed him. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

Neutralfan7 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 From the outside looking in you can see this discussion from both sides really, I can see why some believe that Thorman and the board will have things in place and the need for patience, on the other hand I can see why some would call for news to be released as the season is just over a month away and everyone else has their squads pretty much sorted. I'm sure whenever signings/news is announced it'll be positive but I'd of thought personally that a few more signings would of been announced by now for you guys.

IanMac Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Welcome to the club on a permanent deal. I watched some you tube footage of him last season after we got him on loan and he looked a really useful player, ran way above his weight. Look forward to seeing him progress under Chris.

Ooh that’s rule number one , don’t go on YouTube footage . He didn’t seem to figure much for Oldham so he’s a bit of an unknown really , but you go with what Chris is looking at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeandawayer Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 So the halfback who was on loan at Haven must be our next signing seeing as every name suggested other than Sammut has been later announced . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a good upbringing at saints and Wigan so hopefully gets himself fit and has a good year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
