Good to see that Liam and Steve are listening to our concerns and are now responding to them. Let's hope the communication continues.

Agreed. That's put my mind at ease somewhat. And i'll get some of these shares.

Amazing what a bit of communication can do.

Nothing at all to worry about. Apart from the fact that they need a chunk of next years season ticket money just to keep going this year.

Surely many other clubs do that don't they ? The whole reason clubs offer early bird bargains is to get the cash to help their cash flow in the spring and early summer - especially at this level when the season finishes in April - otherwise they might as well not start selling season tickets until July.

Probably doesn't need that much then? Read the statement about the close season commercial push, at least they're trying to run it as a proper business and going concern, would you have them fail? No, of course not.

Exactly.

Nsman, are you going to post something positive at some point? You've been here a year and 90% of your posts are negative (the rest are neutral).

I hope they really advertise the NVQ courses well. With big advertisement boards on the A6 or something

Internet advertising would be a good idea as well, especially since they're trying to get 16-19 year olds interested.

One thing I'm curious about is how PBDevs actually make their money. Steve talks about sponsorship but he says that goes into the Club, so does PBDevs get a grant from the government or something?

Little magazines full of the courses and what they involve plus application form posted through every post box in the county it will cost alot but will be worth it. Put them in free newspapers . That's what Tresham do
