4K plus is an unreal effort from this fanbase given the circus we’ve witnessed top to bottom at the club this season.
I reckon with some decent signings and a positive pre season we could easily surpass 4.5k and get close to 5k again. Seen it mentioned above but fully agree that club struck at right time getting rid of SDM and Morris “officially” in the same week. Numbers wouldn’t be anywhere near 4K otherwise.
Around 12 vacancies behind the scenes to fill across first team and academy and I’d say around 8-10 players needed (exc departures) so it’s gonna be a busy old summer…
I’m fairly sure the club stated in the May AB to keep a look out for an announcement soon of someone being appointed on the football side of things, as did a trust rep, so hopefully here about that soon.

4k season tickets sold.
That's pretty decent as said above. Think this is a big season for Clem. I don't need "promotion or bust" type approach - but we need to try to do things right to focus o promotion. So far appointing Flynn and talking of bringing in experience (within our means) is the right thing. I don't think they'll go back on their word and revert to all youngsters now.

I would like to think that wone be the case, lessons learnt and we move on. Giving a clueless numpty who calls himself Sando when his real name is Alexanda Ralph William as much control at the club is a well learned mistake. I cant help but think the Zav Austin connection (at the time) at the club had something to do with all that. Im still a bit pissed off that it happened last season the way it did. But it's in the past, we move on!!

We are setting up an Academy in Australia apparently. His 'Head of Football' (?) is heading out there on 20th June.

I know these 'general housekeeping' things are absolutely miniscule issues, but stuff like this irritates me way more than it really should! I mean, I know nothing about websites but surely an update is a 10 minutes job at the most?

I sometimes get tasked with website updates for the shop and a 10 minute job generally takes about an hour to sort out.... Technology is a wonderful thing? Arse.

No head of media at the moment …. But yeah, it’s kinda slack and being blunt that’s just been the way recently

Arse.
Yeah I had a feeling somebody that knows way more about this stuff than me would come along and tell me I am talking out of my ringpiece! I'm also guessing that whoever 'coded' (sorry that's probably the wrong parlance) the website made it more complicated than it needs to be. Surely someone as computer literate as our very own Peter Venkman would ensure that things are kept ship shape!

Just listened to Clem’s interview. Very interesting indeed.
Tell me who is his head of football at the CG?

A good listen. Not really heard him speak for any great length of time before. Yeah I think he was referring to the academy with the head of football comment.
Easy to forget that he's been involved with the club for a number of years now.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!
