I noted John Mills comments in Saturday's programme about 'excitable posters on social media platforms who preach from positions of no risk or responsibility'. There should be nothing wrong with being 'excitable' about the club provided comments don't get personal or abuse towards the directors of course.

I am normally a happy clapper but if I am of the opinion that if we don't consider taking a risk on getting some decent players in we will have to accept non-league football for the foreseeable future.

I'll probably be there. Quite interested to see how the board projects the financing of the team for the next 2 or 3 years using some of the Ward money.
We have I believe spent the money we had in extra attendances, some before Ricketts left so it would be good to see what the plans are for the future.

the extra attendance money if you say we spent it would that be on all the loanees ie playing budget?

That's an interesting question QR. The figures that SR bandied around appeared to be the extra Cup/TV monies etc. not sure if crowds over budget was in that £200k figure that SR said he had to spend.

Be interesting to know how revenue recognition/tax will affect that as I assume that we will have done the most efficient thing possible depending on how much has been spent.

I agree and that's been my point on here for years and years when other people say "did you go and say this to their face at the agm" - a line which no doubt will be trotted out on Friday. I'd bet my house on it.
I'll still go if I can though.

I don't think 3 buses represents 90%

Fans views are split. The Clappers point to our balance sheet, whilst the frothers think that our major assets should be on the pitch. A lively night.

I'm going on the piss on Thursday, I want change but I can't be arsed with fooking meetings. I'd prefer direct action like at the Gateshead game.
