    Getting in there early to make sure they have a guaranteed ticket for the derby against Walsall.

    I can't see anything changing unless new buyers come in.

    We need new younger blood at the top. It is time for the Don to retire. I am not criticising him, but we need fresh ideas.
    The point made the other day, that we could get in play offs with one or two good players to add to our squad. This would make us attractive to new buyers, and Cryne would benefit from extra income. We need to copy Wigan and Cardiff in the way they communicate with fans. More family days to encourage youth to support us. We will not get many more older supporters, they are too comfortable in their armchairs. We need to get Flitcroft supported quickly and then get the team sorted

    I thought Flicker staying was nailed on, after pre match interviews with Flicker and Mr Dowing. Why am I now bricking it again???

    Far from it. Flitcroft has played himself into a very strong position, now it depends whether the board want to play ball.

    And he's right. He kept us up despite the sale of John Stone and the stresses placed on a small squad by the cup run and fixture congestion. At least give him these proceeds to retain his staff and strengthen the team, which are largely intact as far as I understand it. Because the brief of survival on nowt simply can not be maintained and why should he bother when there are other clubs willing to offer him a less stressful and frustrating opportunity?

    I very much doubt a flashy scoreboard and electronic ticketing will put any more bums on seats.Anything available should go to Flitcroft,he has proved he can do the job..the first manager since Cryne has owned the club that really looks like he can move us forward.

    It's got nothing to do with bums on seats. It's about bringing us into the 21st century and having an infrastructure that will allow us to sell more tickets in future.

    It has, mate. If the board cocks this up there will be far less of them.

    Oh yeah, I can live without a scoreboard and tvs in the concourse. Cushion for my seat is becoming essential though, I can't sit still for 10 minutes let alone 90.
