Meeting ..

Surprised a bit at Scott's comments regarding looking to Eastern Europe. I've read a couple of things suggesting Brexit will make it virtually impossible to sign second or third tier EU players. That said I may have got the wrong end of the stick.

A bit more lighting would help at least surely that wouldn't cost much from a lighting man. The main problem I can see is somebody tripping over a kerb in the dark and people falling on top of them. Its not so bad in the light although still a risk.There is still also the risk of away supporters meeting home fans at the top of Don Street and fans being pushed back if there is a skirmish.

These issues maybe be looked at if the club has a sustained stint in the championship but the goal is to get back there first.

This seems bonkers to me. As Seutonius suggested a couple of millenia back: "It is always wiser to garrison a fortress adequately than to lose it and then attempt to retake it." I doubt very much that promotion is a serious goal of the board and I doubt even more the willingness or ability to put adequate resources in the allow a "sustained stint." If so why the freck did we not make more of a fist of staying up in the first place? Bonkers way to run a whelk stall.

I thought that they were going to put a wage/earning minimum on the immegration criteria of around £30 pa. If someone gets a contract of employment over that figure then it's no problem. That is if the contract is signed after the date the UK leave the EU.

I asked the question about the barrier the answer was you would rather have "100k spent on a player wouldn't you"

This type of comment is to shut folk up and nothing else. The club would be entitled to apply for a grant to cover this type of thing.

£30 pa is definitely bargain basement, Frog! Seriously though you may be right: I have skimmed a couple of pieces that implied there would be problems but I'm no expert.

Happened several times last season due to away support getting a easier (quicker) exit
On most occassions there were none of South Yorkshires finest in position at the junction just the Showsec boys and girls

Spot on, Frog.

RE point 8, did you not suggest getting some of these?
