I think we can forget finishing outside the bottom two so we now focus on finishing second in the mini-league that is made up of teams across step in similar dire straights to ourselves

what are the reduced prices for sat game 02/03/2024 as stated and beer prices any one now
If you are referring to this part of the new Owners statement:
"Can I ask you all to get behind Paul and the team for these remaining 9 league games, and to show our appreciation to you all, starting this Saturday and on select games this season we’re going to be offering special pricing on entrance and drinks at the bar so please come and show that phenomenal support and together we’ll give it everything to stay up this season."
.... no further info!

And as a result the idiots on Facebook start asking to play midweek early in the season on get a 4g pitch. Our pitch is something to proud of.
I have to disagree with that, even though Val and formerly Dave have worked hard and performed miracles over the years it is not really fit for purpose. It was built with little or no drainage on a fly ash base which retains water and doesn't allow it to drain off the surface, probably cost cutting at the construction stage 30 years ago.
I have heard that the owners are planning a massive renovation of the playing surface but it won't include a 4g pitch.
Our pitch has been problematic for a couple of years and more games appear to be affected by the weather than they used to be. This may be due to a lack of investment by the club (Graham and Ade) as I heard anecdotal tales of our excellent grounds team not being given sufficient backing.
That said, you go back a few years and snow and frost often saw fixtures lost and this resulted in midweek games in April which I've always enjoyed as it is a chance to watch fixtures in slightly better, warmer weather in evenings.
