Other clubs have paid tours of their stadium I know ours isn't great but it could be a way of raising money especially if there were players available to speak to and have photos with.

Some have booked tickets with Great Western to have made the trip over there but are hoping for reimbursement. Not sure if Coronavirus if a viable reason to offer a refund right now but hopefully given the circumstances and growing concern of subject matter those who have paid will be entitled to refunds. Wouldn't have gone personally it's hardly a short journey and besides watching Town at the moment is hardly an enjoyable experience. I wonder to what extent the remaining games will be effected not just here but in Europe and possibly Euro 2020, will they be cancelled ? All hypothetical but the virus thing seems to be getting out of hand and sport's being disrupted to such extent you wonder what potential impact it will have on the months ahead. Were you one of the ones who were desperate to get rid of Mick McCarthy..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how much they think their players earn, but they seem to think players would take a pay cut to help others out. It won't be a case that these players have pension contributions or mortgage payments to make based on their own incomes. Course not. Expecting players to make financial sacrifices to keep the club going? Even by Saghead standards that’s massively hypocritical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone in desperate need of supplies - don’t be disheartened by the rows of empty shelves.

Where the hell did this plank get the notion that their ST holders is more than most clubs average attendances ? https://www.soccerstats.com/attendance.asp?league=england3 They have a relatively low amount of ST holders as I understand it although that is an assumption. I would assume, and it is just an assumption, that they have around 4k ST holders. Just an assumption of course. And that would keep them going ? Losing 60k per week isn't keeping going, its hanging on. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on my own geopolitical research it appears there are forces currently at work which aim to keep the Kingdom of Jordan stable. While stock markets around the globe collapse the shares of the Arab Jordan Investment Bank have lost comparatively little and in the last month the Jordanian Dinar has strengthened by about 10% against the pound. A New World Hors D'oeuvre is emerging and, who knows, BRFC may become a prominent part of it ? 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
