I didn't. I just said Rubery's time was before my time, which it was. It doesn't mean I'm not aware of his time in charge. I know the ins and outs. My first match was 24 years ago. Nearly 65 years for me, so witnessed the good the bad and the ugly! Ah so you must be remembering Schindler, Man City away and Ian Dowie visiting with Soton?

Some interesting snippets in here >> www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/nagle-huddersfield-john-smiths-stadium-27904531Ending with... SC: In terms of getting control of the stadium, what are the timescales on that, do you imagine? KN: “I’d like it to be sooner than later – I’m one of those impatient business people! But I also recognise there’s certain processes the council has to go through and also the negotiations we have to go through as well. I’ll certainly be patient. We’ll try to push them at the right time but I think they have some of their own goals they have to meet as well. “I don’t really feel it’s going to be a long long time – I’m hoping we can have it all wrapped up in six months, something like that.”

No i just missed him, was four years old when he left. Not that I can remember mind. I think it was Eddie Boot. With a name like Boot, he must have got the sack? 😂 Resigned, as it happens. Four games into the 1964-65 season, he decided to resign at half-time against Plymouth and told the directors at full-time he'd had enough of the players and football in general. After being at Town in one capacity or another since 1937, it broke up a 27-year association at Leeds Road. He had a brief spell as Scunthorpe United's chief scout but after that barely set foot in a football ground again.

A different type of venue in lots of ways, but we drive by Epsom Downs racecourse practically every day and there are things going on in the grandstand all the time. Antiques fairs every three weeks or so, vintage car rallies, motorcycle rallies, art shows, clothes shows, wedding fairs and receptions, and music (bands and/or DJ’s) on weekly evening race meetings until September.
At Dorking Wanderers they’ve a really good softplay centre and cafe underneath one of the stands that is highly popular.
Gillingham has a TGI Friday type restaurant/wine bar in their main stand that is very popular all week in an area where there aren’t many other reasonable eateries.
Sutton United has three different areas all with their own private bar where parties, receptions, wakes, comedy shows (Tim Vine is a big SU fan), musical events etc are held.
Lots could be done with a properly run stadium.

Gonna take some more time it sounds like, but when KN gets full control, some good things will be done with the stadium I am sure to not only increase revenue for the coffers but also to expand the fan experience also. Just a waiting game now.

I'm sure when he took over and they'd talked about getting Sacramento into the MLS, it was said a stadium of the right standard would set you back about $600,000,000

I’m positive all they need around and in the ground is better entertainment and catering alongside the obvious lick of paint and upgrading / maintenance the core running of the ground
A fan bar/zone showing live football , music add decent activities for kids . Liverpool was the best for me - cracking music , things like football billiards for kids and all games on big screens . Shame it was Carlsberg on draft
Indoor areas - like Coventry do - for when the weather is poor
Food and drink that is decent quality even if it’s sublet out … or bring back the food zone in the car park but tell them to not charge 13 quid for a burger
Opening somewhere after the game to watch the 5.30 kick off . Cardiff do this well and flog pies/food that hasn’t been sold during the match on the cheap alongside a beer.

At the end of the day we dont offer much at all as a club. We have zero assets of any real value aside from one or two players. We don't own our stadium or the training ground. Our fan base is relatively small and we are punching above our weight.An American billionaire investor comes in with big ideas about raising the profile and generating income to make us better and some people are saying they don't trust him. Now that fine but say Nagle decides that if the fans aren't on board it's not worth the investment, then what? We are not an attractive proposition and people need to realise that if the status quo remains then that is going to be worse for us in the long run than taking a punt on someone who has a track record of success (albeit in America). Would you rather have another Hodgkinson or Davy? I'm sorry, but I don't agree with this at all. We have been in existence since 1908, 85 years of those 115 years have been spent in the top two tiers of English football. You call me negative yet you're willing to talk down our club? We are exactly where we belong, in the Championship. I think the history and age of the club is irrelevant when it comes to whether we are ounchung above our weight. Success is largely down to finance in some form or another. At this moment in time i think there are more clubs below us than there are above us that are better financed and/or have bigger fan bases than us. Our ambition used to be stated as becoming a top 30 club, that would definitely be punching above our weight in finance terms.

It seems that after the first few years of gigs, they just sat back and relied on income from the clubs rent. The lack of commercial nous/ ambition and not realising that significant renovation and maintenance would be required is scandalous.

That Top 30 club “ambition” was coined 20 years ago when we were in the basement league and utterly, disastrously skint. It was a worthy vision (of Andrew Watson) but fundamentally meaningless at the time.

www.totalrl.com/huddersfield-giants-seek-john-smiths-stadium-solution-with-council-keen-to-give-up-control/ The Giants apparently want to take partial control. HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS could take more control in operating the John Smith’s Stadium after cash-strapped Kirklees Council made it clear they want no further involvement in its running and will put a stop on their funding of the failing management company which controls the venue.
Kirklees Stadium Development Limited (KSDL) is owned by Kirklees Council (40 percent), Huddersfield Town Football Club (40 percent) and the Giants (20 percent) and negotiations over the future of the facility, which is almost 30 years old and in need of significant maintenance work, are ongoing.
The council, which has loaned millions of pounds to KSDL, warned in March 2021 that the management company was on the brink of going bust.
But talks have so far failed to produce any agreement on how to move forward. A report by the authority has made it clear that KSDL are only surviving through money pumped in by the Giants and Huddersfield Town, who were recently taken over by American businessman Kevin Nagle.
It stated: “The council has been clear that it does not wish to be involved in the future management of KSDL or the stadium and has made clear that beyond the financial restructuring that has already been agreed, the council will not contribute further funding to facilitate the day-to-day operation of KSDL.
“Its continued ability to operate is based on commitments by the other parties to ensure the company has adequate cashflow to ensure that it can meet its obligations and by a council agreement not to pursue debts outstanding at the present time.”
In December of last year, the council’s cabinet gave approval for senior officers to enter negotiations with the two clubs over handing “operational control” to Huddersfield Town.
Now the cabinet is being asked to amend that to include the Giants, with the report adding: “The previous agreement was that officers could negotiate a settlement position that provided for HTFC to take operational control which, given the corporate structure, would require them to acquire all of the shares.
“An alternative option is for the other two parties to agree a structure whereby either HTAFC or Huddersfield Sporting Pride Ltd (the Giants) take effective control individually or together, but this is not provided for by the current cabinet authority.
“It is suggested that having wider options for negotiation of a solution that meets the needs and desires of both clubs would be desirable.
“It is also important that in this arrangement, the owners provide evidence of an effective operating model that meets their needs and gives the council as freeholder (owners of the land on which the stadium is situated) some assurance.”

Admirable on paper but no doubt it will delay the whole process significantly.

I was quite interested to read that the relevant parties may "choose not to complete any arrangements for some months, probably not until Spring 2024 at the earliest." I wonder what might be driving that timeframe...?
