So negative. Support the team and the staff.

Ignore the negative bedwetters on this thread
And Nigel got him to write a big old post on here about it.
Still you carry on wanting to know all
Can I ask you to get an update from the kitman
And what washing powder provider we use .
Or the groundsman & what paint gets used on the grass
to mark out the pitch ?
Tuffers the vast majority of us want to be informed what’s going on at the club and welcome Devlin’s update.tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 4:54 pmIt went down so well tbat the vudeo was hardly seen then a thread about the present & past ceos popped up .Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 4:46 pm Keep doing what you’re doing Devs. Much needed ground improvements and a nice statement that probably only took 15 mins but will do wonders for fan engagement.

If you don’t, that’s fine but keep complaining about it and other boarders might accuse you of being a Bedwetter

I have just had this thread brought to my attention, so i thought it best to try and answer some of the queries on here (which I tried to do previously via the clubs You Tube Channel).
Firstly, it has been a very busy close season period. I apologise if some of you feel i haven't engaged frequently enough. Going forward the plan is to have a monthly update on our website and add additional updates in between as necessary. Board members will continue to take up offers to discuss club matters on podcasts etc.
Looking at some of the comments, here are my responses:
1. No-one is aware of any vouchers, £25 or otherwise, being sent to Season Card holders. All SC holders are entitled to a discount in the club shop, when using the shop in person. This will also be available online as soon as our new systems allow us to do so.
2. The final batch of season cards have been sent out today. If you haven't received yours by Thursday, please give the ticket office a call and they will arrange for a duplicate to be collected on Saturday or sent out to you if you are unable to come to the Grimsby game.
3. The reason for the later than usual despatch of season cards, is because we sold them on our old ticketing system and we needed to move the data onto the new Ticketmaster system and then re-check it all before sending them out.
4. Following comments from supporters, we have moved to a new ticketing system (see above). Ticketmaster are leaders in this field and we hope that the process of buying tickets will be much easier and straightforward in future.
5. The front of shirt sponsorship was signed very late. This, in turn, meant we were required to have the logos applied locally and that added a further delay. We are doing all we can to get shirts into the club shop in time for Saturday, but priority will be given to those who have pre-ordered. At worst we will have home and away shirts available in time for the second home game of the season. The Commercial Manager left the club for a new role and his replacement starts on 1 September.
6. The delay with the shirts is not ideal as we are in the process of upgrading the shop and club reception. The shop will be fully refitted (with air conditioning) by end of August latest.
7. New floodlights, commissioned by the Board before my arrival, have been installed.
8. New Digital perimeter boards have been installed, and should be fully operational for the Grimsby game. We hope these will really transform our commercial revenues, which in turn will hopefully allow for greater investment in the squad.
9. We've made some improvements in the hospitality lounges, again aimed at improving our hospitality offers and bringing in more revenue into the club.
10. We have commissioned a site survey for a new PA system. I would hope that, once we have decided on which company to proceed with, this will be installed by October (its not a straightforward job).
11. We have installed Wifi within the stadium bowl, which should improve connectivity for supporters on matchday.
12. We have sold nearly 4,000 season cards and are ahead of last season's sales.
13. We made the decision to remove the U11 season card price of £49 as we found a certain amount of misuse. Following some criticisms from supporters and subsequent discussions, we re-introduced it into the Family/Community Stand. Personally, i think it is a sign of strength to listen and take on board differing views and make changes if necessary.
14. With the Grimsby game taking place during the height of the summer holidays, and given the economic pressures on many people due to inflation/energy prices etc, we wanted to do all we could to sell out the first game of the season to give Richie and the players the best chance to get the season off with a win. We are very aware not to erode season card value and will keep price-led promotions to a minimum during the season. But they do have their place.
15. We are currently looking at several sites for a new training ground, which the board agree is badly needed. Not an easy or quick task, but something to which we are committed.
I hope that helps.
Thanks,
Mark (Devlin)

I really hope they’re not fully surrounding the pitch, because that would do my crust in.

The digital ones will be all around the pitch. It will be weird and distracting to start, no doubt but I’m sure we’ll get used to itOrient_Man_And_Boy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 8:56 amThere are boards on the front of parts of the roofs of the stands?Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 8:17 amWhere else do you think they’d be?Orient_Man_And_Boy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 5:34 am Regarding the LED boards, does anybody KNOW the position and extent of these, please.

Personally, I detest them. And the (very) few times I watch a game on tv that has them, I use the wireless instead.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 8:58 amThe digital ones will be all around the pitch.

I admit they were not as distracting /annoying as I had feared but they look cheap, with lots of cells not working. Did we buy from T.I.T.?Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 7:10 pm Gotta be honest, as distracting as they were, I think the electric advertising boards make our ground almost look professional and modern.

In other words you weren’t prepared to give them a chanceOrient_Man_And_Boy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 7:55 amI admit they were not as distracting /annoying as I had feared but they look cheap, with lots of cells not working.
