Jay Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Personally, I found the information regarding Scott Golbourne to be very interesting. £200K + £50K if Reading are promoted + addtional fees based on performance/appearnace & sell-on.I thought Steve was open & answered all questions thouroughly.Who else went & what did they make of it?

Guest ashtonyate Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Well if you can buy young players like Golbourn for 200k plus add ons why try to produce them he must have cost us nearly that to produce.He was under contract to us and no need to be sold.

I totally agree. Couldnt fault Mr Lansdown and it was all very convincing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ashtonyate Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Why did you not ask that question?What the point all you would get is the player wanted to go infact, if he is under contract to us its our chose if he goes or not.But the question is still if you can buy top kids for that money why produce them.

Jay Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 If i was right in what i heard it was between 400-600 dependant on appearances. Agreed - a potential £850K for a player that wasn't featuring much seems like a fair deal to me.Also, 'fair play' to the student who asked Steve about his season ticket price. He wanted to know whether the price was going back down again (as it had doubled in price to help cover the cost of the stand that is not being built).

kiwicolin Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 yes it was very interesting to hear what Steve Lansdownhad to say.made me laugh when a supporter was using his brick that he bought ,to hold his gate open.well done Steve.

He wanted to know whether the price was going back down again (as it had doubled in price to help cover the cost of the stand that is not being built).That was my mate!Steve L was well and truly stumped to be fair. They doubled the price of student season ticket prices this season to supposedly raise funds for the new stand - so now the stand isn't going ahead............????I would accept a 20% reduction in the price of my season ticket for next season and we shall be writing to Mr Lansdown suggesting that this happens - otherwise he may lose a few season tickets.

Because you seem absolutely hell bent on preventing some of these lads one, amongst other things..Because we can't buy them for that money because we don't have that money...Reading have that money...we have enough money to get the likes of Savage et al...unless we sell some of the players that we bring through...And on what planet do you really expect it cost close to £200 grand to put hime through 2 1/2 years of an academy education?? It hardly costs that for a bloody fighter pilot.. :@ :@ :@ :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Was anything said about the future of the new stand project? On hold until we can afford it, or get the money to fund it. I think that was pretty much it, correct me if I'm wrong, couldnt really hear from where I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video is being converted, split in to sections and will appear on the Supporters Trust home page in the next day or two. The footage is around 75-80 minutes long & needs to be broken down so that people don't have to trawl through one long, continuous piece of film.

chubba Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Nice one Jay!Would be good to have a single audio file of the whole thing if possible too.

Dolman_Stand Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 The two interesting one's was his reaction to whether Bridges has a sell-on clause he replied "no, and he won't go anywhere!!" not sure what he meantAnd that there will be three more academy kids given contracts soon I think it will be Artus, Wilson and Klein-Davis.Overall he came across well and most of the feedback was positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL was very convincing today in his Open Forum and despite the fact he has made mistakes left the overwhelming impression thay we are lucky to have him. Those who went, and listened, will be far slower to condemn in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
