You lot can call me all the names under the sun and dont get me wrong it will hurt me this month but that's life.Suggest you all put a budget in place and save so much a month, not rocket science fcuking grow up and grow a pair!
yes, cos we all have have spare 400/500 don't we but putting a little bit away each money has made it easier.Like I say Frosty you wanted to give away your season ticket anyway after the Barnsley game so the club dosent need you anyway!For every frosty that dosent then there will be a Norfolk that does especially if we keep in this league with the likes of Leeds and Hull to play next season.Do you know the supply and demand principal?
God im scared .....All I am doing is supporting the club and board and have different opinion than you and as I say I was not the one who wanted to give my ST away just cos we lost a game!
I'm in the fortunate position where I can afford a season ticket. However I won't be renewing mine. Generally I miss 3 or 4 home games through work or other bits and bobs but take the loss on the chin, to be part of the club (as it were). Had prices stayed the same I would probably have continued but to pay out more when I'm already losing out is something I really can't justify. I joined the Rovers Alliance so get similar benefits from that.Losing £3million a year we obviously need to increase revenue but I'm not convinced this is going to work......
Harsh reality of life is it not?Like I say you can call me all the names under the sun cyber warriors, certainly not being bullied by you lot!
I suspect an awful lot of folk tonight are missing the point. Just who do you expect to fund DRFC? If it's the Board, on what grounds do you think they should be spending their own money for your perosnal enjoyment?If it's the income raised by the club, the debate is then entirely about the most cost effective use of price elasticity. All I've seen on this thread is folk moaning anout their own selfish position and one person trying to put across a different point of view and winding up a lot of folk.Donny Rovers are clearly a third division club at best. The level of support says that. History says that. We'eve had an awful lot of fun at someone else's expense this last few years. That is unsustainable, completely, in the medium term. so what alternatives can you all oferr for rasing the cash needed to compete effectively in the second division? That's what this thread should be about.BobG
I'm sorry Mr Frost, but if you don't know the answr to 1) by now, you must be blind. 2) I agee with. 3) is a reasonable question too but the answer is always going to be an emotional one. It's an obvious answer: to find and develop good young players. So the question ought to be 'Why have we only found 2 or 3'? But even then, there's an easy answer: sean has only been here 3 years. You don't find, develop, play and sell young kids in that short space of time. That's a 10 year programme at the very least - unless you are staggeringly lucky. I agree we've found not much so far. But if we ditch it now, the chance is gone for ever. if we stick with it, we have a chance of flogging sosmebody good one day. CheersBobG
what
Before I spend a hefty chunk of my monthly salary on a new season ticket, I would like the board to answer a few questions for me. Namely the following:1. Where has the £3.2 million gone that we recouped for Mills and Wellens?
2. What are our aspirations for the future?
3. Why do we plough countless thousands into a youth system that has generated 1 or maybe 2 players over the last 10 years?

Maybe make a bob or too in sales. Strengthen the squad for little money. Even if we only get one Waide Fairhurst every 5 years it makes sense.
