Sheesh.
funny how after posting our worst finish ever, making absolutely zero effort at seemingly anything, doesn't pay off in getting bums on seats. I'm not sure what Clem's game is, but it ain't football ownership. It's more like Risk, or Kerplunk. |

And at least with Ker·Plunk, the ball either drops or it doesn't. With Clem's ownership, the ball always seemingly gets fucking dropped #JustAnAdminError |

I know he owns a multi-million dollar turnover plumbing company, but he just never seems that switched on, dare I say he comes across as a bit of an idiot. This in itself is fine, as long as he surrounds himself and employs competent people with relevant football experience, but he doesn't. He surrounds himself with crooks and even more idiots. |

Sheesh.
Yeah. The extended deadline has done them no favours, but it also makes the comparison difficult. Though i suspect 2 weeks prior to the deadline in previous years the sales would have been significantly more. |

This is the bit that genuinely irks me about Clem. He keeps making stupid mistake after stupid mistake but then does absolutely nothing to ensure that they don't keep happening. The lack of employing someone that knows what they are doing is genuinely baffling. |

Oh! I think they expecting the 5K+ to turn into 3k+, but damn this drop off would be meteoric. When Clem appoints random ex youth player as assistant to Gunning full time i'm sure sales will explode! |

I actually didn't know what the game of kerplunk entails, it's the straws and the ball one isn't it? |

That is the one. Some of our fans would be undefeated with how long it takes the ball to drop in their heads. |

Hadn't realised that, christ. The Advisory Board minutes stated that it wasn't comparable because the deadline was different, but if that's accurate and not an admin error then it is a like-for-like comparison and Clem and co. are properly up shit creek without a cashflow paddle. |

I still expect a last minute rush mind. A 10% reduction would be my guess*. Pretty damaging * I think that was the trusts survey results wasn't it? |

Not ruiling out the date having changed after they posted that! |

From purely watching games on iFollow, the significant drop off in occupied seats, yet our attendances did not drop as dramatically, would suggest a high number of season ticket holders stopped going, or were less frequent. That in itself suggests a big drop in purchases was likely - once you stop going to every game, that big purchase becomes less and less appealing. Even if everything behind the scenes was good, the underlying base level is around 2k - something has to happen to get the numbers we did under Fitton and then Clem's arrival. Once that rubs off, performances will drive a large %. Add in the overall mediocrity of the club and it's a recipe for Diamandis 2005/2006 levels.

Yep, marbles and sticks in a vestibule. You load the vestibule with sticks via holes in the sides and put the marbles into the top via a larger hole. Each player takes it in turns to remove a stick, until the ball{s} fall. How exciting. I think they make ''Anthony Hall'' proof ones now though. They have plastic smooth ended sticks/straws, instead of varnished spiky wooden ones and plastic balls with air holes {like a mini practice golf ball}, instead of glass marbles. Just incase little ''Anthony'' swallows said balls or tries to jab himself in the eye since he's that fucking retarded. In fact, I think Anthony Hall actually raises the IQ of every kid with a learning difficulty - so at least he's inadvertently doing ''something'' right  |

I expect a much bigger drop off than 10% given those numbers. If the club was budgeting for 3.5k thats a 35% drop off year on year to start with. Do we sell 2.5k in the next 2 weeks when there has been no communication from the club at all? I don't think so. This is the downwards spiral of trying to run a sustainable club when the club is doing fuck all to improve income streams going forward. Last years holding up of hands and appointment of Flynn will have helped. Nothing this year. |
