Long John Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Gary mentioned it at the supporters club meeting last month, and it has been talked about around the ground, at least by those standing behind the dug out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 but not to those who stand behind the GOAL it is another good sign of the club moving forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long John Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 The pitches should provide a nice income, and if the first team train on them it will prevent wear and tear on the main pitch which should make John happier ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.I.E.M.A.N. Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 BTG, well I knew, Springy and Tim knew and we are usually there. Why not come to a supporters club meeting, they are open to non members for a small fee (?1), Gary/Toby is often at these meetings and gives the latest news to the faithful. Its only cheap for you to join teh Supports Club, then you get discounts on the shop and the meetings are free, so there are savings to be made.

Peter T Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 but not to those who stand behind the GOAL it is another good sign of the club moving forward NOT exactly a good place to have a conversation, a tad noisy. As Pieman says, come to the supporters meetings. The next one being Dec !st at 7.30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 That's football for you. You might create a bowling green, but you can't expect it to stay like that. Isn't that why the club is going to the expense of training pitches to reduce the amount of training that is done on the pitch? Not really progressive to expect the team to practise corners and movements, in a field. The fans will be complaining next that they aren't putting the effort in. At the end of the day, the work that has gone into the pitch has been superb, but if it is necessary to use it for practise, that has to happen. Joey will be aware of this and the consequences.

greenstaff Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 i agree peter ,but when you put in 4hrs a day to get the pitch ready for the collegiates 1st game and ask people to stay of it for 1 training night so the collegiate can have a nice playing surface for once,not a lot to ask,they do sponsor the team!

Seems that discussing these points with yourself, the manager and a Director at a meeting might have cleared the air. And if you did discuss it with the manager and he disagreed, was it taken to a higher level? As the advert said, "It's good to talk". Something that doesn't happen often enough at WTFC. People just bottle things up and then kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenstaff Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 i did peter i ask the director,but he really didnt want to be put on the spot was told to txt joey ,which i did but didnt get a reply back,communication again.

Gary Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 i did peter i ask the director,but he really didnt want to be put on the spot was told to txt joey ,which i did but didnt get a reply back,communication again. Jon I actually suggested that you SPOKE to Joey about your concerns. It was not a case of being put on the spot. It is far better if people speak face to face rather than send texts or publicise grievances on a public forum. When you made your concerns known to me I spoke to Joey and he said that if you have had any issues concerning training on the pitch to speak to him directly. You have made your decision, we respect it, thank you for everything you have done, we look forward to seeing you at the ground as a supporter and wish you well for the future. Now please let this be an end to the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenstaff Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 hi gary i no you said get in touch with joey but wen u dont get a reply u send a text,and i thought that the directors are in charge of what goes on at the club.end of matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 The day the Directors start telling the Manager how to manage is the start of the slippery slope. They can agree targets and money, then it is up to the Manager. I can just imagine Ferguson letting the Yanks tell him what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can agree targets and money, then it is up to the Manager.I can just imagine Ferguson letting the Yanks tell him what to do. he had to get permission for Mr Rooney's new contract if these five aside football pitches are open to the public they are a great little money spinner! speaking to the guys at rylands its their major source of income bar the bowling greens! another step in the right direction! however does this mean that are current ground is not going to be used when we get in the football league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenstaff Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 peter i dont exspect the directors to tell the manager how to run the team he his doing a great job,what i said was the director to ask the manager not to train on the pitch just for one night,i dont want this to turn into an argument,i was just airing my veiw,we are all trying to strive to get a good stadium ,so 1 night wouldnt have done any harm..

The current stadium wouldn't be good enough for football league but I think we are a good few years off worrying about that yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Burgerman, I doubt it. Going on his past attitude, Fergie would have had to be persuaded to keep Rooney, get him fit and scoring to get a good price. NO man is bigger than the club.
