torres Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Not a moan just a honest question, Reading what PA has said last night, it seems like a constant list of ''we're not happy with it but we are trying to sort it'' i.e Sponsorship, Kit, 1867 lounge, recruitment, ticket prices etc. Therefore; Is there anything that anyone can think of that the club do well?

We've been crap at a lot of stuff for a long time. I think they may have finally got the bigger behind the scenes issues sorted. The stuff fans notice is probably next on the list. It was always going to take years not months. . Edited October 31, 2014 by NeonLeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I thought the funding was already in place for the Community project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahowl Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) PA did say the biggest stumbling block was that the attitude of banks had changed and they were no longer prepared to lend to such a community based property development The land is still there the plans are still there but unlikely to happen without funding streams Edited October 31, 2014 by pahowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatpusher Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Corrys most pressing need for advice comes in the form of needing a better taste in music (more guitar bands and proper music and less techno nonsense)Sounds like a good lad to me...

darklord Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Corrys most pressing need for advice comes in the form of needing a better taste in music (more guitar bands and proper music and less techno nonsense) and about car parking in the right place and not right in front of my front door when he has a parking space at the side of the house You need to put out police cones like they used to on Bread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 It's a good to get in a room with such a small number, but I do wish certain attendees wouldn't take over whining on about PL ticket prices and Sky ruining football. If you're reading this you self-righteous *** - don't bother next time. Bore off. Can't add much to what Trev has said. He did confirm that there are 3 charges against the Stadium still outstanding. He muttered things about liquidity etc but did say he didn't think we would see one appear this season. He felt we are competitive in the loan market, but we would never get near a Tom Ince. He made a common-sense argument for the signing of GTF, which made more sense than any of the rubbish Gray has come out about GTF being a goalscorer. Sees players like GTF getting the best out of May. The 150 year anniversary stuff right at the end woke it all up a bit. He seemed receptive to a suggestion that we revert to "The Wednesday"for season. Though he did tamper it by saying there may be things we aren't allowed to do. The 1867 lounge has been invested in, to the tune of 6 figures. The new commercial guy is frustrated that the best lounge is basically given away. Plan is to refurbish other lounges in stages. Haven't given up on the Community building. But finding private funding is difficult at current interest rates. Hope he gets the support to do this, and other projects.

31Dec1966 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 "best lounge is given away"? Is that why we didn't get teamsheets in the 1867 then? It's a bit of an insult anyway. Us foundation members might not be big corporate sponsors but we are always there , win lose or draw, supporting the club and paying our money.

horny owl Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The more you hear about how rubbish we are commercially makes you realise just how long it's going to take to turn us around. There can't be many clubs who have been run as badly as Wednesday in the last 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
