ST Amnesty At Stadium MK

By The Boy -

Episode IV… The Search For Police Academy VII…


MC asked for the latest position on Safe Standing.

DC confirmed the new stadium will be able to accommodate safe standing areas, if the legal position changes. Agreed THFC would review its earlier statement which confirmed this. THST would be able to campaign for safe standing, as this is a popular ‘ask’ from supporters

Hang on, the world is waiting for THE LAW to change, yet we are wasting the board of a football club when safe standing might happen.

This is embarrassing.


MB asked for an update on the venue for the season away from WHL.

DC confirmed an announcement was due imminently

MB asked whether there would be a provision for any construction overrun.

This was confirmed. Contingencies would be built in.

KL asked for clarification on any ST amnesty in a ground share venue.

IM confirmed an amnesty would be offered in MK but not at Wembley. It was felt there had been a push for a London venue and that was the overwhelming favourite in terms of neutral venues, therefore an amnesty wouldn’t be offered at an alternative London venue

KL reiterated the Trust’s point of view around pricing in the temporary stadium: that no fan should pay more than they’d paid at White Hart Lane during any time away.

This was noted by IM and DL

KL asked whether there was an intention to open up more ST’s to Bronze members should the season away be at Wembley.

IM confirmed this was being explored

KS asked whether there would be accessibly priced parking at Wembley for fans wishing to drive to games. JW reiterated that Wembley was a public transport destination so that was unlikely

There was a point of interest in that the CPZ was expanded when the top tier was in use at Wembley.

Why a ST amnesty is due whilst we play at the venue of any THIRD PARTY venue is beyond me.

Why are THFC supposed to subsidise the cost of ANY tickets?!

If we play at the Royal Albert Hall, are prices really still supposed to start at £24 or whatever?

Get.

A.

Grip.


KS reported concern among fans at the lack of squad depth, as evidenced by limited substitution options in the final games of the season when the team was weakened by suspensions. Cover for key positions (eg H Kane) and the ability to genuinely compete in cup competitions – especially the FA Cup and of course UCL – were key concerns expressed

 

DL said the intention is to strengthen the squad and to do so as early as possible; it is, though, not always possible to complete deals well ahead of the transfer deadline.

It is likely to be a tougher transfer window than ever given the extra finance available to all clubs, due to the new TV deal. It was felt the Euro’s had an impact on timings but DL stressed this was the same for all clubs

DL confirmed that final decisions on signings are the Manager’s (Mauricio Pochettino (MP)). MP’s new contract, which names him as ‘Manager’ not ‘Head Coach’, recognises the wider role he already fulfils (player conditioning and nutrition; academy in addition to coaching). 

Brace yourselves, pilgrims.


In the words of Jimmy Cricket, ‘there’s more!’
