That’s like a 5 star Michelin restaurant, ours is like one of them boarded up American diners you find at the side of an A road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolton9owl Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 5 hours ago, StudentOwl said: The pitch (which is nearly a decade old now) was never maintained properly, which is why it has been so patchy for so long. Chansiri wasted loads of money on a huge initial outlay and then never bothered to spend the relatively much smaller % in protecting his investment. It now needs ripping up and redoing. It is a perfect metaphor. If we believe what has been reported that during this weeks discussions with Chansiri Danny was going to bring up the poor condition of the stadium and training facilities by comparison to other Championship clubs and in particular Ipswich ground surely he knows he knows Chansiri’s position - no money - no ambition - not bothered. Danny would be better talking to himself - at least he’d listen !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Rogers Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Everyone knows our facilities are awful but watching that, Danny doesn't exactly seem to be moaning. More like complimenting Ipswich and saying this is what we need to be matching and he wants to be a part of that change. Nothing in that video to infer he's going anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I've played at Hillsborough on a couple of occasions. Used both changing rooms. The away one is very basic. It's not terrible, but there isn't much to it. As for the home one, it's ok...but it doesn't look like a great deal of investment has gone into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 1 hour ago, Howler73 said: You could be right and its a shame, personally id being calling Danny in and asking for more input, based on his experience in the elite game, on how I could improve my investment for the long term. Maybe Chansiri will, I say in hope over experience. Yeah that's what I'd do too. But I'm not a businessman so what do I know eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 We need so many improvements throughout the club. Chansiri doesn’t seem bothered at all about improving anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
