Meeting with the Club

[Tom Shaw's Fist of Rage]

Was quite interesting to hear we only had 40 car parking spaces anyway. As it's only impacting approximately 50-100 people I think it's certainly a reasonable compromise to replace it with a fan zone etc.

Thanks for that EG. Reading through a few answers that perhaps were a tad vague and didn't really answer the question.

But great to hear we should see plans for the Habbin/NRE by the end of August, looking forward to seeing those!

And fair responses to most of the questions with actual negative feedback minimal from some of the changes implemented (like car parking). Also very pleased to hear we turned down gambling and crypto companies.

I mean, this is actually amazing! 😍 Because we have people of substance doing it, giving me the impression, at least, that it's "only" the SC issue that'll stop it happening.

We have our next meeting with the Club on Thursday evening (7th September), so please feel free to post any questions you'd like us to ask...

The audio is always dodgy at the pre match interviews

The journalist (I think his name is Peter Swann?) can only be heard in one earphone/headset, etc

Surely this is an easy fix?

I watch on YouTube on the clubs own official channel and I know it’s a minor gripe but for a professional club trying to reach an audience I think it could be fixed easily.

This is easy.

1. The NRE/Habbin plans were due end of August, when now?
2. When is the new working group with the SC targeting a resolution?
3. If the SC refuse to move, what is plan B?
4. Are we likely to hear of contract extensions for players soon?

[mike_CUFC]

The NRE/Habbin plans were pushed back to end October (I think) due to the ongoing discussions with the SC. Sure Tunbridge said that in a statement last month.

Just to re-raise a question asked last season regarding the scoreboards. Yes they are great, but for my (early middle aged!) eyes, they are too small to be properly legible and I notice this is far worse for evening games. Surely the increased commercial opportunity for more ad spend etc which could come from a more meaningful Board, especially at the NRE end, would help towards the cost of installing additional panels?

I’d imagine also that as the Boards are clearly modular then they could be reasonably easily re-sited when ground works eventually commence?

I get the (rather limited get the porter/stout in) range of BrewBoard at the dispensery, but why Amstel? They don't sponsor us and no-one prefers it. Likes it even. People only buy it out of bait and switch when the better stuff runs out. The BB pale ale was a bit gassy/lively and slow to settle, but it was a load of prepoured Amstel that greeted you. The Amstel only sales point, under the umbrellas, had no queue. Get rid.

When most grounds only offer a Carling, Carlsberg or even bloody Coors Light, Amstel is manageable.

[zx10racer22]

Any news on the new badge? As a fan of the current badge, I hope it's not going anywhere, but it would be nice to get an update.

Ta!

[belly77]

Any idea when us loyal season ticket holders in A block might get a new seat? My arse can't take much more of this.

Agree with this but the supporters bar behind the mainstand seems unable to serve Brewboard.3 games in and I think it's only been on once (rex. Camstar yet to be pourable for me). Staff say they can't keep it cool enough.

Please raise with club and sort asap as we're reluctantly having to buy Amstel instead.

Stop playing music before the game so loud in NRE

Part of the fun of games is having chats with friends, but when there is a song being blasted out over a cheap speaker all distorted, it gets to be a pain. No need. Turn the damn thing off or much quieter.

[michaelspencer]

Given the comments on the match thread for the EFL trophy game and there potentially no longer being any bribe money, can the Club confirm this and why the format is continuing with B teams given the ongoing boycott of the competition.

I totally agree!  The so called music ( horrendous noise) played at half-time on Monday was so loud in the main stand it was nearly painful. Stopped any attempt at conversation even with the person next to you.  Also can they play more middle of the road stuff the vast majority of the crowd are over 35!
