There will be more than 2,000 fans there trust me on that. I trusted you! What happened? As previously stated by others there are supporters as shown by the attendance figures and there are others who can’t be bothered to attend because of the opposition, this is not withstanding the true supporters who because of one reason or another cannot attend but do make the effort whenever possible. Also as was stated we are not a small village club anymore, we are in with the big boys so additional support at times will only be in passing. Shame really because they missed a true Sutton United type game of old.

I'm genuinely intrigued at what a US-based commercial real estate player is doing pitching up as a director at Sutton United. Would be interesting to understand his background in sport, interest in English footbal, his motivation for involvement in the club (how did this come about? is he a shareholder?), and what his role will entail.

Back in the Good Old Days before we had an embargo............................................. Late to the party but I really am quite disappointed that the club remained silent on this issue (sorry, but a quick note on this forum, while welcome, really doesn't cut the mustard).

He's not the first American to come on board. To find out why someone in another country, who might not have even heard of us before, might suddenly get involved with us you need not go further than listen to Mike's very interesting interview with Kenneth from Texas anchor.fm/suttonpodcast/episodes/Mike-with-Kenneth-e1c8ec4

Gary Otto is Amercian I believe?
Rather than staying silent these directors should face the cameras and tell us what they are all about. The statement on the website is pretty generic.
In think there is saying at our club which says # IN IT TOGETHER # so it would nice to hear from these people. I know Martin Copus did do an interview a couple of seasons back.

How about Meet the Board and not a Meet the Manager evening?!

Yes I kind of got slammed down for my post about him.
We used to really know the board but now they all seem so distant and we wonder what their motives are. They're not in it to lose money.

Seven of the board are at almost every game. Dominic has only been involved for around thirty years, the others go back further! Our newer directors have been vital in helping the club and certainly understand the economic realities. I was delighted to welcome them on board.

I assume the distant board members attend meetings via Teams/ Zoom or Webex. Probably not aware of the ongoing issue with the ground PA system though.

I think I heard that the p.a system won’t be up graded until the new stand is built. Have noted though that there are more speaker's round the ground witch must help a bite, so for the time being we will just have to wait for the new p.a system.

I had good chats with 3 board members at the match last night, including the chairman. I must be very special, because they're all so distant, and I have no idea what their motives are.
