I agree with a lot what you say (metsmagic) about the state of the club and from my own dealings with the club conclude that we are not doing the things we need to do, that is until we get to the stadium. The problem is that we have been waiting for a new dawn at this stadium for how many seasons, 10?



As to the season ticket, i have gone for 25yrs and am considering not getting a new one, my father who has watched the club since the early 50s is exactly the same, my brother has stated he will not renew, neither will his daughter and that is the same for my mother.



I realise that Sycophfans will tell me they dont need supporters like my family or we are not proper fans. To them i say wake up because it takes more guts for a fan to say "no" im not going than to blindly go and ignore all that is wrong and find excuses.



However i am sure metsmagic that you will get a lot of repsonses saying how the directors are gr8 and nice people and its not their fault the team is poor and they deserve success and all the other well trodden excuses.



All i will say is the current regime has been at the club since 1981/82 in that time 12 coaches, no major trophies, plenty of relegations, Trish leaving suddenly when she was doing a good job, a coach on a four year contract that they couldnt pay up if they sack him, no investment, but on the positive the chairman has got an OBE, nearly got his hotel in the park at a gr8 price and every1 says he is a nice bloke (which he is) but to be honest im more concern about Salford.

Ignore Fingerpost or whatever he is calling himself these days.

I feel so sorry for the fans, you are a great set of supporters who are very passionate about your club. It's about time the board came clean with you.

Peel are building the BBC arnt they? i drive past it every day and the structure seems up just putting windows and stuff in.

im no builder but would the same people on the job build the inside as well as the outside? perhaps when the builders are doing the inside the outside people will jump in the lorries and drive off to barton to start building?

Optimist - it's all about funding. The BBC are funding Media City - or to be more accurate you, I and everyone else who pays the TV licence fee are funding it! It was signed, sealed and the deal done well before the financial crisis.
