supersiggi Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 1 hour ago, toppOwl said: Fortunately the ones I attended were in slightly calmer seas, I asked about the Club 1867 scheme and why cheaper options weren’t available to take away the stigma that led to it being a failure, I asked why part season tickets could not be purchased ie bundles of ten games etc this was actually carried out this season but not sure how it fared. I’ve questioned the pricing of merchandise and the increase in the members card cost to £90 - this was later reduced. There were a few more trivial ones but the ones above were fairly key at the time of asking. At the moment I’d probably be interested to know what the short and long term plans are and has relegation been factored in. Which forum was that at? I know for a fact it wasn't you who raised membership prices at the August meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we know anything, its his way or the highway. You make a good point of what I like to call the apocalypse scenario. He walks, thats us done. However rightly or wrongly, through his chairmanship he put us there. (we all, (mostly) went along with it at the time as well). Lets see what happens, personally all I want to know is, whats the plan and direction. However, I see nothing positive coming from this meeting. I could be wrong and will be massively happy if I am.

We don't need to go to a fans forum and cry like babies to realise that we went for it, we failed, we now have to suck it up for a couple of years before we have another go.

Guest Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Like him or loathe him, he just can't win. He is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. No I'm not a DC supporter but I can just see the explanation he gives if JL was sacked before this forum takes place. 'To the vast majority of Owlstalkers, you got your wish, I sacked your manager. What do you propose I do now as I cant spend another penny without serious sanctions on this club' Ive tried numerous managers and they have all stuck two fingers up to me'. 'But you wanted the manager gone. As I'm shi* at running a football club, and your site (Owlstalk) is full of people in the know, where do I get a decent manager from. Replies on a post card. Thanks DC, your caring chairman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobbed the keeper to be honest. Bounced once, then over his head into the net. I was under pressure at the time with someone thundering towards me, I was playing at right back. No bugger dropped into space for me to pass it to them, so it was hooked back to our keeper Stan, who was wasn’t paying attention. To be fair, several years later, playing for Gatefield at Green Oak Park, I scored one similar in the right net, from the half way line, as part of a double. Scored the other with a header in the 6 yard box. Howard would’ve been proud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
