There are some on here who don’t understand contracts. When you sign the contract you agree to pay the player for 1 or 2 yrs. If you want them to leave before the end of a contract, you have to pay up the value of the contract or a negotiated settlement figure. Get them in the kitchen, sorting the frost covers, helping the groundsmen and being ball boys. If they can’t do the job of playing football and we are paying them. Find them something else to do.

If they are not catching the squad and cannot find a move elsewhere, then sadly they can simply see out their contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club don't seem interested in the main stand, all efforts appear to go into the showpiece Joe Royle stand which is why the TV cameras always point to that. I'd like to hear from the board about any plans for the refurbishment of the main stand and safe footpath access all around the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the footpaths, safe public access all around the stadium should be a given. Try getting from Sheepfoot Lane to the Joe Royle though badly lit areas and mud. It's a disgrace and negligent of the board IMO. The club talks about future plans but appear to me to be secretive. Something many accused the previous regime of. I will give credit to Frank for the take over, but they are not behind criticism as you appear to indicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're beyond criticism at all but I do think they have earned some time before getting much of it. What did they close it for? Two games? The last lot closed the JRS for two years!

Seats in JF are pretty filthy too and it's only natural that the JR would get most attention but I'm surprised that a TV platform was not incorporated into it's design. In regards to the access ( I don't go that way ) something appears to need addressing as you're not the only one to air the complaint. If it's that hazardous a detour via Carlton Way or round the back of the Chaddy End could prove a temporary solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't ignore safety issues on the pretence action will be resolved at some unspecified time in the future. Some steps have already been added at the bottom of the grass slope from the RRE to the Joe Royle stand so obviously the club are aware of the dangers of poor public access. It's the same from the Chaddy end to the Joe Royle stand where the houses have been built, which provide only limited access across usually flooded grass. They should also be well lit areas at night to avoid any hazards I thought the club had an H&S officer who should be flagging up risk areas...perhaps they have who knows?
