AT LONG LAST THE SHACKLES HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND THE CLUB CAN START TO REBUILD AND FUNCTION ONCE AGAIN.
WHAT DO I MEAN BY BACK TO THE FUTURE SIMPLE LOOK AT THE PAST AND LEARN FROM IT .
ON THE FIELD WE WILL LEAVE THAT TO THE WISDOM OF THE NEW BOARD AND BILLY D I LIKE THE LOOK OF PRESS ARTICLE STATING BLOODING MORE LOCAL YOUNGSTERS,WHEELING AND DEALING IN THE TRANSFER MARKET YOU CAN BUILD A GOOD TEAM WITH LIMITED RESOURES AS MY MUM USED TO SAY CUT YOUR CLOTH ACCORDINGLY .

£250,000 IN THREE TO FOUR MONTHS RAISED BY THE TRUST FANTASTIC NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE NEED FOR FUNDRAISING IN MY 13 SEASONS WITH COUNTY 75 WE USUALLY SHOWED A PROFIT OF AROUND £100,000 PER ANNUM.

WELL DONE SHUNA AND SHARON COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL CARRY ON FOR THE BETTER IN THAT AREA OF THE CLUB

WELL DONE THE FANS LETS HOPE THE MEADOW CLUB REOPENS IN CLUB COLOURS WITH NCFC THE WORLDS OLDEST LEAGUE CLUB MEMORABILIA USED FOR THE INTERIOR DECOR A PLACE FOR PIES TO MEET PRE AND POST MATCH A VENUE WHICH CAN WORK OUT OF FOOTBALL HOURS WITH THE RIGHT MARKETING.

EXECUTIVE BOXES REOPENING ALL I AM SAYING IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY THE CLUB WILL GET BACK ON ITS FEET AND DONT FORGET TO LOOK BACK TO WHEN DURING THE WARNOCK ERA WE MUST HAVE HAD ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PERIODS IN THE CLUBS RECENT HISTORY WHICH STARTED SLOWLY AND THE LANE USED TO BUZZ ON A MATCHDAY OFF THE FIELD THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING HAPPENING THE STAFF HAD A SMILE ON THEIR FACES SO HERES TO THE REBIRTH OF THIS OLD CLUB OF OURS

Also need fans to spend their money at the club. If those who eat and drink before matches did so at the ground instead of local pubs we can see the money being put back into the club. 4,000 pints and meals would turn the club around.

EXACRTLY ROWEYP, THE FANS ARE THE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB AND ITS FACILITIES ARE THERE FOR THE USE OF THE MEMBERS ALBEIT ON MATCHDAYS BUT IF THEY ARE USED ON NON-MATCHDAYS BY PEOPLE OF THE WIDER COMMUNITY THAT IS A BONUS FOR THE INCOME OF THE CLUB.HERE'S TO THE FUTURE.

And where better to record all these ideas than this very message board?

I don't fear fear, 'cos fear fears me

I have said on many occasions that they do a very nice carvery before the matches and use of a bar with tv facilities in the Oriental suite. for £30 you get it all including great sponsors seats, 3 course meal, parking and programme plus use of the bar before the game, at half time, and after where presentations are made to the players. For those with season tickets elswhere you can still get a discounted deal keeping your own seat for the match. This is where the fans money needs to go not McDonalds then the Globe !

Good points Nick, bring back the glory days! I agree with everything that you've said - what is required is simply a return to what made this club successful during the Warnock era. Teamwork, which we had in abundance on and off the pitch.

Obviously you have a good idea of what works on the fundraising side, it being so successful during your time at the Club. Hopefully the Trust will note what you have to say and your knowledge and enthusiasm will be put to good use by the Club once again.
