What TF states is pretty much what I've been told over the weeks from ex employees and some at the club but I think that its still an open question between that and what DSJ says, because the length of time this is taking makes me wonder if the story I was given has just been farmed out to those at the Club to keep us and them all happy and off the scent.
Who knows but its been so long now and the start of season ticket sales for 2025 is getting nearer and nearer that everyone is now holding their breath and waiting, many in fact are doing just that whilst doubting at all whether to commit again. Some are in two minds whilst some have said after all this time hanging on waiting to see what's happening that they've had enough and found other things to do on a weekend.
fact is though I think it's only fair that we got some indication as to what in the offing. I'd like a clean break and a new owner in place with Adam in a role that means he can safeguard our interests until we see how it all pans out. But who knows? Definitely none of us.
However, We can't sink much deeper and folks now just want some hope and an indication what the road ahead looks like. Give us that and no doubt many will then have the information they need to decide whether to go round again or whether they have had enough. Ideally we need to hear something soon to inspire us and the doubters otherwise we'll loose around 3000 season ticket holders I suspect, who, once gone, will never be replaced. Whilst mugs like me will just live on past glories and pay up and look happy!
There is little doubt from the folks I meet that many have now just had enough and the departure of our last two 2016 invincible has seen a line in the sand for some as well, they all need to be convinced that we as a Club have a future. I think after our support through this debacle we at least deserve that.
My view is I need confirmation of investment or a takeover before buying another pass because otherwise in a years time we'll just be in the same position of 'cutting back to try and break even' which will only get worse as ticket sales and merchandise revenue decreases. I feel Pearson doesn't have the money or ideas to get this club out of it's rut.
The large capacity of MKM doesn't help, years ago I'd have been worried about losing my mid East stand seat with good view, now if that happened I'd simply move to one of the many empty seats around me.
Also increasingly disappointed by the standard of SL been less neutral games I've enjoyed watching this year and the loop games mean the 'free' games you get on the pass are just repeats. The game has also become a whistle and video ref fest, at the weekend we got pulled back for doing a quick tap and go which baffles me, surely you want teams making a quick tap as that often leads to good attacking play against a tiring side. RL used to be the best sport to watch but badly administered now it's also a poor watch and badly administered
Will see what happens between now and the reserved seats deadline but 'stay faithful it will get better we promise' isn't washing anymore.
