Don't forget the chance to quiz Matt, Jason and Bruce tomorrow, when Matt will also be revealing news about the squad.

Unable to attend this evening, if anyone is going could they be so kind to comment on the playing squad for next season news (if there is a next season of course). Thanks

Looking forward to it. I assume I can buy a 2020/21 season ticket tonight?

In light of everything going on, I will not be in attendance. I also think the club has a duty of care to uphold and continuing with tonight’s event shows a blatant disregard for the welfare of supporters. This should not be going ahead, it isn’t a necessary gathering of people (like a homeless shelter for example) so why push on with it? Personally I think the club is having a shocker here.

If the Government's announcements had been made last week then I'd agree with you. But they were made less than two hours ago. It's really not practicable to cancel at such short notice. People will make their own decisions about whether to go. |

I’m sure they won’t miss you and it’s less than 500 people, so they can have the meeting... Where did the magic number of 500 come from? They said avoid pubs, clubs and social gatherings. Also your initial comment is not required. |

Another good informative evening with Matt and Jason. Also thanks to Bruce and Adrian. Good turnout as well under the circumstances happening at this present time.

Obviously it's been well documented that us (and other teams) are going to struggle financially over the next few weeks and many won't be able to afford the 5 year season ticket at the moment (especially those self employed) so can I make a fundraising suggestion?
For our remaining home games could we put a call out to fans (especially season ticket holders) to donate to the club a sum roughly at the level that they would spend at the club on a matchday. So say you go to the game and you buy a burger and a cuppa. You donate 6 quid for that game. If you go and have 3 pints normally at a game you donate that much. The person donating won't be much worse off (as it would be how much they would have spent anyway but possibly won't have the opportunity to spend it) and the club is better off as they are getting more of the income than if that person was buying said goods.
The cynical ones may say "yeah but you are paying for nothing". I say you're paying to keep your club afloat. I'd happily pay.

A very informative evening.
I urge every single one of us to buy a season ticket now, don’t wait until 30th April for the Early Bird pricing, renew/buy ASAP.
There will be a next season!!
If you know of anyone that doesn’t have access to the internet so can’t renew I can and will hand deliver or post a form directly to them so just let me know if I can help. The most important part is to help keep this great club running and at this weird time the club needs our fantastic support more than ever.
and get your friends and family to buy one too..!!

Some of us may not be earning any money while this is going on so that makes it difficult. On Saturday match days I spend in excess of £100 at the club and in the present climate I certainly can't afford to donate that amount. |

Hi all,
I think both of the above have made very good points . How about if you are a season ticket holder for this season you pay for example £10 at the hatch as a voluntary contribution ? Obviously that would be only if you wanted to and only if you can afford to .

Obviously there's isn't going to be a one size fits all approach, but hopefully those who can will be able to take part. I'm thinking of a lots of people give a little model, and one that wouldn't be onerous on any individual, which even though it's a great deal, an £800 5 year season ticket is going to be a push for many people. |
