There should have been stalls for membership and goldline.

Not sure why it was so poor as they cant use the were still learning excuse.

Goldline was well covered. Plenty of forms handed out.

A couple of years ago there were stalls etc

Any idea of numbers attending?

Just out of interest and for my education, who is the stadium manager?

As an aside, does anyone know what has become of the My Racecourse brand being used to market the ground as a venue for events? There was a lot of fanfare at the time we took on the lease, but from looking at Twitter it mainly seems to be used as a vehicle to retweet the main club account. I guess there won't have been much to say given the lack of gigs this summer, however I would've hoped for the non-footballing use of the ground to be pushed a lot more than it has been.

This was the blurb when it was launched:

“As a football club we use the Racecourse circa 23 times a season for football matches, we need to appeal to people who will use it the other 342 days per year, many of whom might not be football fans hence branding the Racecourse in its own right.

“My Racecourse is going to be our way of positioning the Racecourse to generate income on matchday and non matchday.”

Back on topic.
The new "dug out" area looks quite smart.
I wouldn't want to be sitting close to it though as some idiot has installed Red plastic sides which block the sight lines.

It's called spin
