I’m definitely in favour for some kind of subscription membership like this (for scunny fans, by scunny fans obsv). And this could certainly help tip the financial balance into something more favourable.
However, this only takes you so far. Modern football is an astronomical money pit. Even a millionaire can struggle to achieve success. At the top level you need to be a billionaire (preferably one that doesn’t see the club as a toy).
I think it’s very important to set realistic goals/targets and do everything to live within a clubs means. For some this causes dissapointments.
I’d rather have a stable club than one that overshoots and folds.
In the short term/medium term it’s a model that could work to bridge the deficit gap the club is experiencing; with that you’d have to expect some form of representation within the club though.
It shouldn’t be an expectation of a fan base but there are people out there willing to invest money into the club; the supporter base is currently galvanised like I’ve never seen before as proven last weekend. I feel we just need help focusing that enthusiasm where the club can benefit and people feel comfortable knowing their money isn’t being wasted.
Perhaps something for the nominees for the new fan representation to consider.

The outcome doesn’t look good- may be a negotiation ploy as suggested but the place is haemorrhaging money and has continued to do so despite resuming a 2 BF operation since Xmas.
Talks of taking one furnace offline soon which will pretty much put a nail in the coffin for many on site.
Not a good day for the town.

It seems it will be difficult for any external caterer to turn over a decent profit whilst the facilities exist in their current state.
The hospitality in particular is nowhere near adequate.

You can’t make it up. Only at SUFC can you go from one extreme to another in 24 hours.
Worryingly it sounds like a deal has been done, whether the public backlash- and there’s been a significant one- is enough to scupper an existing arrangement is enough, who knows.
Regardless of the outcome, there’s credibility now lost for even entertaining the idea. It’s clear things are untenable at a 65k month loss so the search for an investor/new owner now has to be the number one priority

Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.
Thought the community day was executed well, thousands spending money at the ground 90minutes before kick off and plenty for people to do.
Team finally show up for a big game and the manager gets everything spot on. Apart from that idiot on the pitch at half time a nearly perfect day.
Well done to everyone.

Got what we deserved unfortunately; good side kiddy and they outplayed us in large spells.
Referee was another numpty who completely lost the game, best thing about when we eventually leave this league will be seeing the back of those clowns.
However, we’ve Been a great run and coped with the Whitehall injury better than expected, we struggle so much without him in the final third though and nothing really seems to knit together.
Onwards to Saturday in what now feels like a must win

Excellent result.
Shaky first 30 minutes but the players worked relentlessly again and dug it out. Nice to see Carlton grab another goal

I’d much prefer to have a chat with 4/5 individuals on here rather than the absolute car crash that is the Scunny Fans Facebook group.
I remember vividly the cesspit social media became during Hilton’s tenure, and how this forum- in general- remained a place for healthy debate.

Was a poor game in truth and we should’ve really left with the 3 points on the first half chances alone. Credit to the team for persevering again.
Got to start winning these away games now though, looking at the run ins Brackley have a favourable set of fixtures in April, I think we will need at least a 3 point cushion by the end of the month and that means going to tough places and picking up 3 points.

Sounded like we could possibly go 3-5-2 after listening to Butler’s pre match interview on Humberside, not adverse to that, especially away from home where we saw some solid performances deploying it in away games.
Really hope we have the mind set to win this game and not be content with a draw.
1-2 Iron

Fantastic keeper- would be great if we can convince him to stick around after the summer

Brilliant stuff.
Credit in the bank for Butler for adapting to Whitehall’s absence.
A fully fit Beestin has been a joy to behold the last couple Of months, after the journey he’s had as an Iron player few would begrudge a promotion.

Can’t see past the Whitehall injury unfortunately, think it will totally change dynamic of the team.
1-1
