Not got an exact date, but they are with the printers. I would certainly expect them to be out next week at some point at the latest, so everyone should get them before we get to Dec

Full page adverts in the Daily Post and Leader

Also, are local establishments who benefit from a successful team such as the Turf, Maesgwyn, Fat Boar etc etc able to help by trying to sell tickets in the pub when it is busy?

Is it possible to buy tickets on line? If so I am sure we could all help by pushing this on facebook and twitter?

Hi Haruki, we tried selling on-line a few years back with very limited take up. Agree with the rest of your post, we had some in Saith last year and need as much publicity as possible.

Generally your posts are negative but at least with some intelligence behind. This is just idiotic. If you cannot think of anything sensible to say then its normally best to say nothing. This is an initiative that is attempting to raise awareness of the club and help the team and the manager. The advantage of the raffle is we are asking people to take a chance to win something while supporting their local club - so it is not just charity. I think linking it to BTB is a great idea and will attempt to sell more tickets than last year.

Yes I agree - comments about signing players should be on the appropriate thread - but I may have posted some as well

Based on the evidence so far what is there to worry about?

After 10 years anything which does or doesn’t happen in a season is not life or death unless it involves the finances of the club.

Unlike others I don’t expect Build The Budget to be all about January. In fact that would be downright irresponsible. If the players aren’t available then don’t trade for the sake of it. Two or three new faces would be a major improvement but no one person will complete a jigsaw that’s currently at least four pieces short.

Whilst most of that is about right the Jan window does hold the key to maintaining our position 2nd half of the season.

Lets face it then last Jans window saved us and this time it needs to push us forward.

I agree 3 or 4 are needed but 2 or 3 would be a breath of fresh ass.

It is, though this is a subjective not objective view in part (the objective part is the concertina nature of the league taking away the bottom two) also if not a weaker, certainly a more even league than in several years.

So whilst that point about being responsible is of course true especially given the financial/off field history of the club this is a good opportunity to try and at least make the play offs, and possibly get out of the league, which should be borne in mind as a reason for looking to invest sensibly perhaps.
