Eyup Chaff lad, this board, including its previous incarnation, has been around since year dot.com (I've been clocking on for 25ish years), and I for one am grateful for your hard work in keeping it going, mate.
Catch you soon, pal. |

I'd proffer that as much as Jim and the players are doing to get us up the league and (re)attract fans through the gates, these sort of things, as understandable as it was today, are gonna have a fair negative impact on that.
There will be a tipping point in time when the cost of getting the pitch sorted properly is outweighed by the loss of gate receipts (Sat - Tue rearrangements) and the unreliability of watching football at Dale (alternative venues suggested/just can't be sure if it rains a lot), putting people off.
I'm actually surprised that the negative impact of the pitch on our season last was not enough to warrant getting it done close season; it must be the most critical component required to have a functioning football club.
I'm fully aware of the legal 'battle' with the last company to work on it, and the cost of work needing to be done. |

Absolutely the opposite:
It shows that Jim knows where he needs assistance and has acted to get that in.
Well done to Jim and well done to the board for backing him. |

Nail on the head...
At this current, precarious, point of the club's history what really matters is points on the board and getting back into the league (4).
Fans through the gates will never sustain the club long term. As we have seen from our most successful period of history, the academy and player development leading to sales are the key. The Brighton model being the pinnacle example of what we were doing under Hill. Reputation snowballs and we were renound as a "place to go " for young talent.
Get back into the league, get the academy back and get the network/channels/filters up and running again, that is above everything else.
As has been described by Jim several times, they have gone into every last detail (switching 2nd half ends for example) in an effort to squeeze as much advantage as possible; Fitz has highlighted stats that this method has borne rewards.
The football is often terrible to watch, I'm feeling in danger of social services feeling my collar for forcing my boy to watch; but needs must currently, and our need is promotion. |

Well done the Dale. Played really well, had to dig in a grind that result out. Big up the keeper as well, made some great saves! |
