New score board above the tech end, new doors on the turnstiles plus loads of other infrastructure improvements.

Amen brother.

When we played Brighton in the cup in 2012 we felt an affinity with their fans as they had almost lost their club and turned up to support our cause in darker times.

Brighton have now become an established Premier League club, so hopefully we can emulate their achievements over the coming years, certainly a target that RnR are aiming for.

The difference between us and Salford etc. Is they were buying players purely using owners money. We have three major household name sponsors, and huge income from ticket sales. I’d bet that R&R haven’t put a penny in for players yet, and rightly so. I want them to build something massive, but I also want sustainable.

Quite agree, The point i was making in a roundabout way is i think if we’d been taken over by some other pair of millionaires who weren’t film stars then the animosity wouldn’t be half of what it is but then jealousy is a terrible thing

I think we must exercise some patience , because if we get off to a slow start some of the other club's fans will mock us and we must show some class and not turn on one another or them.

Look at it like this when Lincoln went up a few seasons back they got an injection of 300K into the first team budget which was spent well and they pissed this league and then shot straight through L2.

So far i think we have spent very wisely going for quality over quantity. To me it looks like we are building a squad with a decent spine for last two or three seasons minimum.

If other fans are jealous its tough shit. We have had way too much time being screwed over or run poorly.

Has the scoreboard been installed yet? We could do with one in the corner by the kop.

Is £150k even massive money in scheme of things? We paid £50k for Mangan back in the day I believe.

We will have made a million quid on season ticket sales.
