Re: Fans Forum...
But seriously -
- admission prices reduced to £15 for adults next season (I missed the concession price, sorry)
- U16s £7 (which means that my 2 U16s and I will be paying the same price next season as we are this season, unless I buy a ST)
- U8 free
- payment for season tickets can be made by instalment
- no reductions for Trust members
- Justin is the most passionate manager we've ever had, he loves this Club and he loves the fans (and he liked all the burgers)
- Liam and Steve came across very well right from the start when Liam introduced everybody and pronounced Nene Park correctly ;)
- If you have any ideas or want to volunteer your time, your contact is Gill Wignall at the Club (gill.wignall@rd-fc.co.uk)
- Lots of discussion about where the missing fans are and how we can get them back. We've ALL got a part to play in that.
Probably lots more that I've forgotten but overall, a very positive evening.

Re: Fans Forum...
Club will be listed as a Limited Company and a share issue made of 1 million shares (?), which will equate to 10% ownership of the club (I think I got that right?). The money raised from this will go straight towards a fighting fund for Justin - A FANTASTIC IDEA IMO !! We will be able to have a stake in the club - I think he said they will be sold in blocks of £10, but more detail will be released shortly.
Global Car Rentals to operate from the coffee shop, car valeting opposite, supermarket idea being explored, they want to relocate the hotel idea to another part of the site, planning discussions ongoing.
Justin came over as much more relaxed and praised Liam and Steve greatly for their support, he showed great confidence for them.
He spoke with great passion about the club, and seems deeply hurt with the recent dip in attendances - he urged everyone to get more people down to the club.
The club according to Steve is in a sound financial situation and the transfer embargo will be lifted next week, the issue with HMRC was a discrepancy of PAYE which is now all sorted.
Great that the price is coming down to £15, £1 off car parking too. Other bits on this have already been mentioned.
Better quality burgers for next season and butter to be used in your chip butties
Errrrm all I can think of at the moment, very positive evening overall.

Re: Fans Forum...
One thing I'll add, these guys seem to have some really good commercial sense, they're doing their sums and will only do things if the figures stack up right.
Oh, all 7 year olds in the area will get a birthday card and some free tickets - research has shown that this is the age most youngsters choose their football team. Figures show a 40% retention of youngsters as fans where this has been tried before - cracking idea !!
Community Manager to be appointed early April, they can't say who at the moment but there is a name in the frame !!

Oh, and it was really well attended tonight, far more than last time. I can't estimate numbers cos I'm crap at it, but I would have thought a good 130+ (??)
