    Could you ask for anything more from an owner?

    Adrian Goldberg seems to think our fans are going to be asked to pay more to watch the side and wonders what the reaction might be.

    I think fans need to be realistic, ticket prices have been held down for years now, although times are tough I think people need to understand that whilst we are out of the top division they need to pay a bit more.

    Easy for me to say I guess.

    I agree prices should increase and away supporters should be charged exactly the same as West Brom fans are charged at their grounds. If the club can’t do that because the Smethwick is one stand and both sets of supporters need to be charged the same - get around it by making the Smethwick end season ticket only for our fans.

    I agree with all of that.

    Our price for away fans should exactly match the price our lot get charged for away matches.

    I want to hear the owner’s full vision for the club and I want to hear about his personal willingness to invest his own funds.

    I also want to hear about plans to redevelop the ground ASAP.

    The chairman says he wants to be “hands on”…..good……crack on then.

    As soon as the last I is dotted, I want to see and hear lots from Shilen.

    He needs to replace the whole board and bring in a top guy he trusts plus a decent recruitment director with a message - donkeys stay on Blackpool beach!
