I just don't think that the way the team is set up, the tactics employed, the lack of entertaining football is pleasing the fans too much. You only have to look at all the moans and groans on here, yes me included. Another win tomorrow night please. I'd be pleasantly surprised if we get anything tomorrow night, Getting out of there with a draw would be an achievement but you just never know, bit like Saturday.

Laurie Walker in goal Bit hit & miss but some excellent wins and coming straight off the back of a 4-1 They're 4th in the table for a good reason. I'd be very happy with a point here, three would be an outstanding effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnet one of the easier Southern matches to get to. 4 of us setting off at 1-30 and meeting up with a few we know down there. COYB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a quid to the cost of the popular games and subsidise. Otherwise you exclude those who can't feasibly get to games by other means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Know it was brought up at the January meeting with Darren Royle but this is something the Foundation should be getting involved with and pushing back on harder, there has to be a coach available for every away game.

Quite correct Eyresy. As a football club I think they have an obligation towards the fans on this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Tricky one for the club this. I'm sure I read somewhere that even the busy coaches pretty much just cover costs. So there's no overall surplus that can be used to pay for the ones that only have a few on them. Plus what's the bottom limit? If they put on a coach but only one person books it they'd be spending thousands to taxi one person on a few hours round trip. It'd be cheaper for them to book that person an actual taxi. It's not fair on the club to ask them to send a full size coach to every game irrespective of how many fans are actually on it. I think the only way forward is for the club and OASF to get their heads together and work out a way of doing it. Ideally there should be official travel available to all games somehow. Could a local company supply the club with a mini bus as part of a sponsorship package and could OASF organise a rota of volunteer qualified drivers? Just to cover the games where a full size official club coach is unlikely to be sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
