LQ 0 Posted June 5, 2009 Actually I was thinking about costs like Colney and the match related infrastructure at Carrow Road.You two can think about restaurants if you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted June 5, 2009 Theres plenty of overhead that can be cut such as the £805k pa (per Doncasters analysis in the local media) relating to accommodation, travelling etc. Then theres the media department, after all who in the national media is going to be interested in a Division 3 (old money) club? Just needs the board / senior management of NCFC Plc. to appreciate that we are now a Division 3 (old money) club rather than a Premiership club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gazzathegreat 0 Posted June 6, 2009 LQ, do excuse me for being dim, but what exactly is match related infrastructure? Can you mean, the pitch and the stands?Carrow Road used to be a football ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzathegreat 0 Posted June 6, 2009 Minimum to expect.As promised, some changes at board level. I am not holding my breath, but hey, we were promised! Until we get changes in policy and philosophy it will just be more of the same old same old we have witnessed for the past few years. Doesn''t necessarily have to be personnel changes, but changes in thinking. Nothing has changed yet as far as I can see. Same old stuff churned out. Yes we have bigger crowds and a larger ST holder base than other clubs in the league (but we had that in the Championship and what good did it do us?). Same personnel same thinking - an average finish. Anything from 5-15th. Could be worse if Gunn carries on as he left off at Charlton. We have next to no players left, and pre season starts at the end of the month. What money we have for players is anyone''s guess. What that money gets spent on, again is down to the managerial team and on their showing last season I have no confidence in them turning things around. NCFC needs a radical shake up, starting in the boardroom. Only then will our fortunes change for the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Camuldonum 0 Posted June 6, 2009 After more than half a century I have settled on avoiding relegation as the target - anything better than that a bonus. After your unfortunate experience last season you may see why I find this the best solution (or not, as the case may be). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
