GP:
Duffy’s reevaluated what he wants out of life/football, he’s come back a different person, great to see.

Thank you Radio Sussex - 58 minutes solid of Q&A’s, not one an advert or zzzzzz news/travel break.

Another chunk of the licence fee well spent.

The beard! Tick!

PC Beard m'lord?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Lamptey could get some minutes vs Swansea. Interesting.

I downloaded an app called radio.net and am listening via that.

Ha! Yes but you’ve worked that out !

 

[Is it PotG?]

Cut out the "ta for a great ground', "I've been a STH for 60 years" and "I sit in the 3rd row of the ESU" then you could double the number of questions.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I know. I took that as Potter being anti-Irish. The *******.

Pre watershed outburst from the maniac, was only a matter of time

Exactly what i was thinking ! too much waffle and cringing platitudes !
Next year more questions please

GP: “Find solutions from within. Maupay and Welbeck think they can improve. Buying a striker might be detrimental to our overall play as a team”.

Good grief what a load of tosh I fear for us this season.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Phew. Nobody on NSC had a pop at my question.

And they say you don’t learn anything at these things -Graham has shaved his beard off!

I hope that he's not that out of touch with the fanbase. If they palm it off as some people are going along with it rather than the silent masses, sorry, they are out of touch.

The simple fact is we used to have a comfort blanket of a season ticket waiting list that over time has gone to nothing leaving us at a critical time in our Amex history where the club should be ensuring that fans with season tickets don't give up renewal next year. Whilst the transfer of ticket cards was an illegal practice it was one that was probably more commonplace than clearly the club have realised. These fans who used this practice in previous seasons see the new system as an erosion of the value they get from their season tickets and I fear many will simply not renew next year.

This doesn't include me, I make every game (was I supposed to start my comment with that justification bit?), but I enjoy a full Amex stadium. There's nothing greater than sharing the joy I get with 30k others. Sadly empty blue seats that the club cant sell plus the ones of fans unable to get friends into those seats will become increasingly more empty unsold seats that will see attendances decrease over time and make it hard for the club to get people back.

If the club had (or changes to) having the £20 for the STH to have transfer rights to anyone with details registered at the club (i.e. the receiver of the ticket doesn't need to pay Albion+, but is accounted for with name, address etc...) then the club have record of who's in the stadium and generate a list of potential fans who may be fair game for becoming future STH. I think a small change like this would make it so STH would see this as not a huge cost/change to the value they get from their STH investment.

What is this common sense you speak of?

They didn't ask mine.

I have to say that as a bad fan, that is the first time I've listened to a fans forum. All the major football related questions on here were asked and I can't criticise their responses in any way as they seemed to have a reasoned & logical reply! [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION] did any of your cards get bingo?

I really liked the way PB dealt with the parking whinge.

Other stadia such as WHL have next to no parking, the club rely on third party landowners so it’s beyond the club’s control. In essence, it’s a bonus or privilege when available.

I’m guessing the caller owned some 1901 Platinum seats and had wrongly assumed that they could rock up to Bennett’s Field for every game forever, with a two minute walk to their seats.

I liked the bit where GP said about signing an expensive striker that wouldn't necessarily fit into the team, just to keep the fans off his back.
PB was quite clear on the parking thing that they could do nothing about (Matt)? Bennett wanting to redevelop his land though. I don't drive to the stadium so I have to confess that it isn't an issue for me to pay that much attention too!

Thanks for posting summaries of questions and answers for those of us unable to listen it.

The complainant now joins tens of thousands of other supporters in a time-consuming mixed modes of transport malarkey getting to and from games.

Ha! An old picture. Graham’s beard actually still present and correct. Apologies for the excitement.
