See what we get on Monday

I've also recently said how worried I am about Monday's potential attendance, but if somehow the O'Brien miracle happens, there will be a small boost to the under 10,000 hardy, optimistic (including me) souls....

Totally unacceptable for all concerned.

He's an experienced football administrator who knows how to dot the i's and cross the t's on league business but beyond that he seems pretty useless. 

Is this totally ironic, based on his complete inability to do exactly this at 22.59 last night?

But the post to which I responded stated "gates are falling".

Wouldn't it be Silvester as he is responsible for paperwork and registering deals with the league being club secretary.

Might be, who knows.

If he wasn't physically present at the negotiations for a particular player though, it would seem to be an unnecessary duplication to have to send the paperwork to him for him then to send into the EFL.

And, he has been at the Club some time and this issue hasn't arisen in the past as far as I'm aware.

Gates have fallen, by loads. Maybe the wrong tense was used, Jesus.

Then the poster, whom I believe claims to have been employed in the newspaper industry, should use the correct tense.

There has to be something more to it as it's meant to be a full online system now we use to register deals on

But isn't this season's average attendance up on last season's ?

Nope, i was saying why he's here but if this is down to him then it confirms the actual tinpot operator he really is and he should be put on gardening leave.

The average gate is pretty much level to last season. We’ll once again finish with it around 14k.

However, ST sales and ergo the overall crowd will be interesting next season though, when we see ever increasing prices coupled with a match going fanbase that isn’t particularly enthused with JDT from what I can see.

I very much doubt the home turnouts are bigger so far not including visiting fans.

There's no dispute ST sales are in steady decline is there?

You knew what was meant.  Maybe you should stop being contrary for the sake of it

Are you being serious ! Our season ticket sales, the bedrock of support are awful and reducing in comparison to all around, Accrington, Knob End, Notlob, Dingles. All face the same macro-economic / deprivation demographics but are increasing numbers, whilst Swag continues to try and rinse the few and loyal fans that remain. Absolutely criminal and killing our club.

Of course it is...

We have a goal scorer in Diaz, he can bring others into play and has scored over 30 goals in the past 2 season. Despite already having the credentials you're looking for, do you think we adding O'brien to this side will secure promotion?

He hasn't scored in 11 games and at this point he's missing sitters.

For being his first season...Jdt has done well. 

Not him to blame on transfers...why do you have a DOF?

Fair enough, but he HAD to be in the room at 22.55. It's only twice a year. 

It is his direct responsibility, and maybe he was there, as the issue sounds like it was around the personal terms of the summer deal. 

This, and every other possible question, should have been dealt with by 5pm on deadline day, on the off chance this type of last minute deal landed....

Are gates not similar (or better) to the many years we spent in the 2nd/3rd division, before the 90's?

We had the obvious boost to attendances in the 90's with success and Premier League football, but a return to the Championship seems to have seen the fair-weather fans disappear and leave us with the core support that we've always had?

[Mattyblue]

We’ve had an increase this season to a still piss poor 9,300, but that has only taken us to something slightly more respectable after the thirty year lows the Swag era has overseen (7,000 at the start of 21/22).

We had c11,000 in that not exactly golden era of Gary Bowyer (and obviously many, many more before these owners darkened our doors).
