Re: New home shirt

Then it has achieved its objective, it is recognisable though should have been better.

How many people could accurately describe the crest without a check first and how many non Daggers would recognise it

Re: New home shirt

Never much liked the new badge but the old one is terrible has nothing instantly recognisable about it unless you peer closely and is entirely wrong for a shirt which should be distinctive. Keep the crest for ceremonial duties obviously that's history keep it well away from merchandise If it is not ...

Re: Bury road roof.

1 People don't watch football based on whether or not there is a roof. There's plenty of cover available already. 2 "May" says it all 3 I wasn't being pedantic. I asked a question and you answered a completely different one. Your attempt at being pedantic is also flawed. A roof wouldn't be...

Re: Bury road roof.

1 As it wouldn't turn people away safe to assume it may attract more by better facilities 2 A better atmosphere general surroundings may generate more of a home advantage 3 As you are being pedantic I will equally be and say yes it would be required to achieve our future aspirations of Premier Leagu...

Re: Bury road roof.

If this proposal is going to happen then it has to be a good thing and I would say

1 Absolutely would increase as to how much hard to quantify
2 Arguably yes would tighten up the ground possibly generate a better atmosphere
3 Doesn't need to be most likely would it be an improvement then yes totally

Re: Chester

I think Chester got exactly what they deserved for appalling time-wasting if they had carried on playing they would probably have gone three one up.
The number four was a joke but the referee let them do it he was shocking. We should have had another penalty just before the winner

Re: I come with news

True if only we could find someone willing and wanting to invest in the Club wouldn't that be a dream

Re: If money was no object

Re: New Consortium Announced

I don't need to "do the math" to repeat that this year represented our best financial chance of getting back based on income and potential investment. As for reducing expenditure I haven't noticed the academy lately for example And I am also not a fan of publishing the accounts online as w...

Re: New Consortium Announced

Not sure I totally agree with that We have run with an anticipated loss because a) With parachute payments this year presents out best chance of getting back, and b) Sourcing investment did/does look promising Our business model for at least the last ten years has been buy, sell, cup runs and it wou...

Re: New Consortium Announced

Somebody who seems to have a good business record and has been a supporter of the Club over a number of years is willing to put £1M+ into the Club probably to try to maintain or even progress the current level in the pyramid and you query why they might like a controlling interest We should consider...
