It's not about the playing side pete. They've made it repeatedly clear that all playing matters are PH & CD's domain,.Tonight is all about what happens behind the scenes and off the pitch, the vision, the ethos, the continuous improvement etc

Is the Gold Bond fundraiser still running - still paying each week, but don't see any prize draw updates currently anywhere?
Any info would be helpful.

I was thinking that too Acko. Always used to be updates on the OS but not been any for months, even though the money is still being taken from my bank account.

Yes I went. Disappointing that there were a couple of unoccupied tables given it was a sell-out. If you can't go for any reason, you should give others an opportunity. Before the main event Jason walked around the tables and spoke to everyone and then they got stuck into questions. It was a good night. They confirmed that Cheapside was leased and they are looking to have a local training facility that will bring the academy, first team and community together and be owned by the club. A new stadium manager has been appointed and improvements are ongoing at BP with a new tannoy system being looked at. There are less restricted views in the Upper because they have installed a glass barrier. They touched on Shutes and he will 100% not be joining the consortium at a later date. They are constantly building connections and learning what mistakes others have made with facilities etc with the aim of not making it themselves. They touched on Burnley and Fulham I think off the top of my head. They have taken feedback from others on what objectives they need to set for Hurst to be empowered in his job and were meeting him today to discuss these which will go beyond 3 points on a Saturday.

When did going beyond 3 points on a Saturday ever get you 3 points on a Saturday?

A couple of other things I've remembered:
Jason said you won't be hearing any outlandish targets from them. Championship in 5 years anyone? The focus is on doing things right, having a culture and success following it naturally.
They all said what game they were looking forward to most:
Jason: Stockport away on August Bank Holiday because his wife is from there. He also knows their owner who has similar values to them but is a bit more forthcoming with his targets than 1878 will ever be.
Andrew: Notts County away because it's a big ground and we should make lots of noise there.
Debbie: Chesterfield away for family reasons and it falls around her daughters birthday.
Oh and because we are in non-league you can listen to BBC Radio Humberside commentary online!

When all said and done, will these small improvements actually get 3 points on a Saturday?

😁 Hopefully a lot more frequently. Thanks for the summary of the Q&A session James.
