I agree Apollo11, if we are not promoted this season in my opinion the Board will have a lot to answer for. I do not believe they are focusing on the football, but rather on fun fairs and concerts. Without fans there will be no football club. There is far too much division in the Boardroom and pulling in different directions. The banning of Danny Stamp after previously finishing his Smokin Goat catering,finishing Merch lab, Kelme and now no on-line shop in place. They couldn’t even get our playing surface up to standard, the worst it has ever been. Far too many egos in that Boardroom and not focusing on the main thing, THE FOOTBALL! Let’s hope they will realise and now all four should be putting our SUFC first, all pull in the same direction and help gain promotion. Remember we supporters are the 12th man and showing this with the excellent support we are giving. C’mon you directors get your ct together.
I slightly disagree. I don’t think it’s their job to focus on the football. It’s their job to focus on the business side, and that might mean funfairs and whatever (but with the caveat of ensuring that stuff doesn’t spill over and affect the football). I am presuming what you actually mean is they are behaving with very little regard for the stability of the football side at a crucial point in the season..?
Completely agree with you about the pitch, it’s the worst it has ever been since we’ve been at Glanford Park – and by some considerable distance. It’s a total embarrassment and a massive liability. Without being too explicit about the effects of that terrible surface, I hope the Club does absolutely the decent thing and stands by Ross Barrows for a further year, if he happens to be out of contract in the summer (does anyone know?).
As for ‘all pull in the same direction’, it doesn’t work like that. When there are fundamental differences of opinion in the boardroom the best you can hope for is stalemate and/or an uneasy truce – which never really holds for too long as the type of animal that inhabits a boardroom doesn’t like to be kept on a leash.
I expect even more uproar at SUFC over the summer.
