“ Location maybe an issue “leetufc wrote: ↑02 Apr 2024, 14:17 I do not understand the view that crowds would suddenly plummet to a 1000. Even at our lowest this season we have been comfortably above that, and the right setup behind the scenes with better engagement, I can see us maintaing decent crowds. I don't think the majority of fans would suddenly stop supporting the club because they are part time
With bigger crowds than other part time clubs we should be able to compete on wages. Location may be an issue compared to others, but a part time training schedule may mean attracting players from slightly further afield if it means they only have to travel to Torquay 2-3 times per week
IMO the football side of the club needs to be located in and around Birmingham and the West Midlands where a wealth of players are located. The players can be bused down to Plainmoor on match days. Part time players players won’t travel far to Torquay to train, and certainly won’t move down here.
The caterers at Ashton Gate will have to stock up with prawn sandwiches, the posh middle class Tory voters of Hartlepool will not put up with ordinary fare. What is the dress code? I assume smart casual
