Open it up when the away support doesn't fill the seats in Bristows.

Monthly payments for STs - evens out the cash flow for the club and makes STs more affordable for fans

Loose the goal music

Loose the match day surcharge.

A 'fanzone' for a beer or two somewhere other than boots before/after games - get local bands to do a set for entertainment etc.

We had to play him due to injuries, and our second half of the season was significantly worse than the first half when we were head and shoulders better. We were defensively more frail with him in the side. That said, NLS is about his standard, and there are plenty worse defenders than him I saw last season

Maybe we should incorporate Bryn into our new team badge????? Alsatian chasing away the Bristolian Shitehawks

Sell some new tee shirts with Jim and the Dog emblazened across the chest for the opening match? Better quality than this of course.....

Those 3 nearly destroyed this club and took it to its lowest point, they should all hang their head in shame

I hope they never get anywhere near a football club again

Special mention must also go to the outgoing directors, whose commitment in supporting us to achieve this outcome cannot be underestimated”.

When used properly, and designed well, a survey is helpful for identifying trends and a general sense of things rather than asking for specifics. The one the club sent out was actually pretty well designed - they clearly think they know what some of the low-hanging fruit is, and they're looking for reinforcement on what the best things to focus on right now would be. If you have an open-ended question, yuo'll get open-ended answers and that's not helpful at all. But if you say "which of these options applies" that gives you the chance to make better decisions.

The first few questions, as I recall, were essentially demographic questions (locations, gender, household income). That's helpful becasue you can then get a sense of whether answers in other questions are influenced by the type of person you are. Also, I thought it was interesting that they asked why people don't go to home games; if the majority response is not about cost, and instead other things that take priority, that might be a signal to try a friday night kickoff rather than saturday 3pm. I suspect that we'll see the new owners try a few different things in the course of this season, simply to see what works and what doesn't, and surely that should be encouraged.

Lines up some interesting ex TUFC names for the Wimbledon - MK Dons derby game.
Joe Lewis, Alex Bass & Armani Little with Wimbledon.

The crest was good, the kit wasn't that bad, the era was shit with us badly struggling and football (lower level) really in the doldrums, gates,grounds,standard of football at that time wasn't good but this was up and down the country..
