Anyone planning on going down for the Ashes?
The Aussies seem to have screwed up the ticket sales this week. I managed to get tickets for me and a mate for the Gabba test and he is staying on to go to Adelaide and got tickets for that but it was a real process.
Lets hope their cricket team is as big a mess as their ticket agency (or agencies, they have spread ticket sales over Ticketek and Ticketmaster). |

Tone of this is a touch threatening. Wouldnt they have the same effect by doing the usual early bird discount for those buying early?
If they dont use ‘the right to increase prices’ after the deadline wont some of those committing early feel a bit miffed at paying now instead of paying (the same amount) later? |

Do they have more clout than us…..might impact whether some individuals apply for the job. |

Might be worth finding out how other clubs that have fan members of the board organise things. I might not be working well at the moment but that doesnt mean it cant be organised to work better in the future.
Certainly the job description doesnt appear to be in line with it being open to most fans/trust members. Is that a new job description or did Murray meet all those criteria. If itis new, who came up with it (and why), the trust or the board? |

While relations between the club and the supporters appear to be working well currently that is a feature of the current ownership. Nothing to stop less community mined and less supporter sympathetic owners being in place in the future.
The CAB could be dropped at any time should current or future owners wish. Id like to see the supporters representative on the club board continue, whether that be via the trust or some other route.
Its important for supporters to have a vote in the boardroom. Particularly since shareholders have effectively been disenfranchised as a result of the new ownership model. |

It was the supporters club who did the half time sheet collections. |

Yes. I think in the late 60s there was a caravan that sold programmes between willbutts and pearl street. That was before the ‘ development’ of the club entrance and changing rooms in the early 70s. The club shop was part of that development. Before that the changing rooms and club offices were all separate buildings and the main stand was essentially wooden benches for most part. I think it held about 450 spectators. The rest of the ground was standing only. And some on here will remember the stand roof caving in under the weight of snow …think it was in early 1967.
The original supporters club produced an annual yearbook from the late 50s to around 1966. I have them somewhere. They will be informative about the members of the committee. I know at one stage Cyril Smith was involved. Ill take that no further! |

Are any of them signed by Major League Cricket? Blast clashes with that and we know which pays the most. |

not that I am aware of. Trevor and brian took over running the reformed supporters club about 1978 from stephen birch, eric rodgers and brian holt. They were regulars on the supporters club bus to away games along with Brians dad (i think he was called Brian) and his brother (david?)
I think Jack and Alan helped Jimmy Schofield in the old programme shop on Cheetham Street. I remember Alan serving me in there several times. |

The original supporters club folded in the early 70s and a new one was formed in 1975. |

Brian and Trevor were involved with the Supporters club. Fighting fund was Jack and Alan along with their wives ( afriad I cannot remember their names) There may have been others involved behind the scenes. the fighting fund might have emerged when the ‘old’ supporters club ended in the early 1970s but they might have been completely unrelated organisations.
A trawl of dale programmes from late sixties and early 70s might be informative. |

I hope somewhere down the line the Ogdens estimate the amount of money we have missed out on from our three exits from winning positions.
Think about how much ‘clout’ that would have given us and how many extra season tickets we need to sell to make up for that.
Doesnt the manager realise he has a responsibility to contribute to our clout and he has failed dismally. |

what a pathetic interview. Not one question about how we managed to give up a two goal lead late in the game, what was the thinking behind his substitutions, how we exited all competition through losing leads late in home games.
These interviews are an insult to fans. |

Can’t say I understand these rules limiting non league clubs development programmes but they do seem on the face of it to be over protective and draconian.
Or am I missing something? |
