Unlikely to be taking the recommendations from someone they've just sacked, surely?

:D :D ,Peter wasn't sacked , but the dig at me was hurtful there "Red Child" or whoever , my critisism of our former chairman isnt false , its based on the fact that under his stewardship over the last 10 years we have lurched from disaster to disaster , lost all our assetts and teetered on bankrupcy , opening ourselves up to takeovers from all sorts of "naerdowells"..... I'm going to have to lie down in a dark room for a while and cry, maybe change my name :lol: :lol:

Just a quick one on the running of the club. Stood here with the other poor folk on the Berlin wall, I have watched so many people from the white seats wander past the red seats, stewards and then up in to the local choice suite. Is that allowed now or are they pulling a fast one? Are the stewards complicit in this? Are these fans stealing from the club? I don't know how these fans dare to criticise others on here. Rotten to the core

It's all arse over tit. Everyone should be able to frequent the bar of their choice. Shouldn't be a 1st and 2nd class scenario (Apart from the likes of myself who just had to watch people on the other side enjoying themselves as to watching the football...)... we had no choice at all! Again, a massive look at things and a total rethink about what's actually happening and what's pissing people off.
It could all be so much better and I can't work out why things haven't changed!?
'No point paying for BT Sport as people don't stop to watch...' Right, first question... WHY?
Second question... before cancelling BT Sport... 'what can we do to keep people/fans?'
Third question... has anyone done a local bar price check to see what we are up against? (Because unfortunately that's what we are up against these days).
Fourth... 'What can we do to keep people here?'
I just find it madness that we are supposed to be a business and nobody seems to give a monkeys and nobody seems to be trying!
It all feels like we have just accepted that that's that, given up and let's just struggle on.
There are so many things that could easily be done so much better. Bizarre that they haven't been implemented after all these years of complaints.

Not defending the old or new regime but what chance have they got of running a business if the punters are allowed in for free and then admission to an area they haven't paid for? Stewards are paid employees and they are turning a blind eye to it. People who volunteered to clean the ground after games have had their free admission withdrawn as well.

Out of curiosity? What do Red seats get that white seats don't get? Genuine question?

Annoying? I would be fuming! You have paid a premium for use of that facility but others use it without paying. I watched them all go and not one person was stopped or checked by a steward or club official. It is just barmy.

I always thought you paid more for C1&2 and CPrem because you had exclusive use of the suite at Half time. I thought you had to show proof of your eligibility to a Steward.

So you pay more for a Red seat for access to an empty bar? What are we playing at? Sorry, I've totally missed that bollocks. It's all crap. Who's idea was this? Segregation for those who have and can and those who maybe can but just can't? Family Club? Blimey. Should be the same for everyone.

I am quite at ease with the whole idea. Squeeze a few quid extra out of the people who have the cash by dangling the prestige of having access to a posh warm suite and a pint at half time. That makes sense to me, a bit like a higher tax rate for the wealthy. If you do it though, you have to police it better to keep the exclusivity. If you don't, people will cotton on and stop paying the extra but still use the facility.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the people who are complaining if they have paid more for the privilege... just questioning why it ever happened? 'Us and them' from a family Club? Get a bloody grip, the more the merrier! Don't charge extra for exclusive rights to a bar!

I use to do this very Job.

In Theory) the Steward at the top of the Stairs should check peoples tickets one by one to catch people out from D&E.

In Practice) you just end up with a BIG queue with people trying to get to the Bar for a short 15min break at H/T and "Piss People right Off" !!

So whats the Answer??

Again, it's all arse over tit, on one hand we are, little old Morecambe, on the other we are segregating the little fans we have? We can't be like that with the little following we have, surely? Stop charging extra for the red seat privileges! Let anyone in who wants to go in! Why turn money away? I'm not having a go as I now understand people have paid more for the privilege, but please! You shouldn't have to pay more for access... It's now empty as it is! The Club needs a a total rethink.
