Come on the board
The board could help

The trouble is they've already been selling coach tickets at the standard rates before last night.
I understand the club have now requested additional coaches.

Seems a bit unfair to do this...many fans will be driving or simply may not have any desire to have a beer or two that early in the day...
We have sold almost a thousand tickets without any free travel but come on a couple of coaches costs max £1000 for the day that's half a weeks wages for a player.
I have a question about this topic.
Which is it?
Do those who advocate this want the BOD to agree to take money out to the club "kitty" to help pay for supporters to travel to Stevenage or is the proposal that the Directors themselves should dig into their own pockets and personally subsidise the trip?
If the former, it is a totally bizarre idea, especially as around a week ago we were hearing about the need for the club to invest in its infrastructure. playing budget etc.
If the latter, we move from the sublime to the ridiculous. Why on earth should those guys, who are already VOLUNTEERING their time, energy, expertise, and experience be expected to do this as well?
Both notions are from another planet!
BTW...if it is the latter idea, why stop at the BOD? Why not ask ask other "groups" involved at the club to chip in? Maybe the Ground staff could be asked, or the caterers, or the stewards? Any other groups come to mind?

Well said, totally agree tbh. The board don't owe the fans anything. Fans pay to go if they want to go. They don't if they don't. This whole idea that anyone else should pay for others is symptomatic of today's culture of people thinking they are owed something just for being alive.Oldun wrote: ↑24 Apr 2024, 20:24 I have a question about this topic.

So other clubs that try to get behind their team by supporting them and encouraging support get knocks down by the oldunShade wrote: ↑24 Apr 2024, 21:38Well said, totally agree tbh.

It would have been a nice gesture but I wish I never suggested it
It was not in the plan so who gives a monkey
So I hope that the oldun has his plan for next season
I assume he will be applying for all the vacancies in the closed season or will he just grow old
Nothing new or radical
Over to you oldun tell us how we move forward whichever league we are in for 24/25
What a strange post. Someone doesn't agree with your idea so you attack them completely.
I agree with Shade and Oldun, the board shouldn't pay for fans to go on Saturday. We're supporters - the clue is in the name. If you can afford to go and have the time, then get there. If you can't, then no judgment from me, be there in spirit.

So Oldun can take a post and have a pop at me - espy another attack on the board
It was a suggestion on how the board could help people out and win a few friends
I dont have a problem with people having a different view but some just want to create their own little pop
Just say you dont support the idea as you have Si or Shade but dont mis represent the message as something it was not
4 going by car so would not have taken advantage of any extra support
Sorry for having an idea!

Wow!
I asked a straightforward question and I await an answer.
I will simplify it even more so all that is required is a "YES" or a "NO",
Do you think that the members of the board of directors should out of their own pockets subsidise the cost of the trip to Stevenage?
YES or NO?

Chuff me...on the verge of our most important single game since our last play-off final and our fans manage to find something to have a row about...
Poster A: i hold this opinion.
Poster B: I disagree with your opinion.
Both: that's cool, hope we win on Saturday!
See how feckin' easy it is????

If you look at the original post I did not mention board members paying out of their own pockets
So you can therefore work out the answer just as you want to infer other things hidden in the post
and please dont shout its not good for the blood pressure
Have a good day and see you at Stevenage

Sounds like you want them to pay out of their own pockets to me
