Questions for Kevin. (sorry if some are repeated i have not read the full thread) - Do we have any news on the stadium purchase ? - Do we have any news on a supporters bar like the Rope walk ? - Do you still have the same commitment to HTAFC now we are in L1 as before ? - Whats the biggest lesson learnt in your first season ? - do you listen to the constantly negative fans and does it make you regret what you have taken on ? - Netflix / TV show do we still have an option to create one ? - Huddersfield Town needs leaders and people who knwo the club do you plan to increase these type of people around the club ? - Connected to the last question, is there a contract on offer for Jonny Hogg to keep involved here ? Well, well... and here's me thinking that you'd be able to provide us with the answers. |

Yeah, because a supporters' bar is the most pressing issue on everyone's mind right now 🙄 |

1) now we are relegated and will have lost a significant amount of money in lost revenue. What is the plan budget wise for next season. Are we going to throw a good chunk at it to get us up first time? Invest in players and management (if rumours are to be believed) for the level up? I mean take a hit for a season with spending a big budget in the hope/gamble we get straight back up.
2) I see you already have a lot of questions re update on the stadium situation. As you know, this is a weight around our necks without being able to generate revenue. If the Council continue to play hard ball, is it the possibility of telling them to stick it and building a new stadium and option?

Detailed, structured plans with measurable markers have been shown time and time again to help football teams achieve great things. Do you have such a plan and if so, can you illuminate us on some of the specificities of that plan?
Thus far you seem to have been a reactive rather than proactive chairman.

Unless, of course, it's a deliberately fed question in the hope that we don't all see how obvious it is that it's just offering us a crumb of comfort (that has fallen from an enormous shit sandwich). |

Why can’t we buy replica shirts without sponsorship logos plastered all over them. We’ve been able to do this in the past, why aren’t they available now? I would imagine any sponsorship deal would not allow for this. And I don't remember ever being able to have the option of a shirt without a sponsor when one was originally on it. When we’ve had sponsors connected with gambling or alcohol there were a limited number of shirts available without sponsorship logos. I don’t see any reason why we can’t have any shirt available without sponsorship logos. I’m not being paid to be a walking advertising board, especially for gambling companies or ones like Utilita with questionable business practices. |

So you are campaigning for frozen season ticket prices and sponsorship options that might result in the revenue we get being reduced? I understand having principles but given we might need every penny do we not need to be realistic? Or do you have an alternative for generating revenue? |

I imagine 99% of companies would say the same. |

Added to the season when we had paddy power who didn't have their name on the shirt, and the season after where we couldn't get a sponsor |

I imagine 99% of companies would say the same. I don't know but that's how I expect it works ie "we sell x thousand shirts, which will carry your logo". I'm not having a go at the question but given we have just seen our revenues take a massive hit we need to generate every penny possible. I don't know about Utilita and their practices and I understand the gambling concern but nobody is forced to use Utilita or gamble because they maybe on our shirts. It's far from ideal but we need to be realistic about where we are. NB None of this means that any revenue will be wisely spent of course but I understand that the club needs to generate as much as possible. |

Does Kev understand that out of us and Sac Republic , that we are by far the bigger club and need big investment. That is if he wants to achieve his "ambitions" o and does he think he has the right people in place (Edwards and Cartwright)
He says they are doing a great job, please provide proof of this please , as he seems to be theo nly one who thinks they are. As a first year in their roles equals relegation!
Can someone ask Kev what Edwards and Cartwright meant by "position of strength" and answer it properly, as a relegation to league 1 , does not sound like a position of strength to me, unless the target is the national league, or Edwards and Cartwright might know it as the conference Premier. Maybe these two are getting confused by which Premier league you want to go to Kev? Please Kevin work out who you can trust and who is taking you for a ride and laughing at you while they do......Because yes i will say it straight to me, both of these have come across as having BIG ego's yet have done nothing for our football club to back this up, apart from smerk when letting go Warnock, then appointing a complete joke to replace him. Btw Kev if you knew english football, you would have known when they gave you the name Darren Moore they were insluting you. The red flags were all there, just watch Moore's teams , listen to what other fans have said about him i could go on for hours about how If Edwards and Cartwright were serious about our club,Darren Moore would never everrr have darkend our door, i feel insluted they felt they could inslut us as fans by smerking there faces off.

Only shirt with a sponsor name on it I ever wore was Kirklees College. I’m not helping in selling some private company’s products. |

I think all the questions that matter will implicitly be known by Mr Nagle and the hierarchy at the club already. Nothing really needs asking other than I hope the issues will be addressed and we go forward. Unfortunately it isn't rocket science where the answers would be calcuble and known. Good luck all Town fans will be right behind you.

Kevin mi old fruuuuit, football is an entertainment game and town have been garbage at this for some time supporters are apathetic therefore: What steps are being taken to enhance the on-field product and style of play to re-engage fans and bring them back to support Huddersfield Town? Do you realise the potential opportunities arising from a title-winning season in league one and been able to use the  of success as a springboard for the club's future as seen with the likes of Ipswich?

Knowing and understanding his character is far more useful to us as fans than a stream of platitudes or poker faced carefully worded answers to any of the questions posed in this thread. |

Not purely but it contributes, our fans don't want to contribute but expect someone else to pump their money in while we throw bile at them for doing so. If we are such a big club at league 1 level why do our tickets have to be 2p to get a decent crowd, we can't slate the chickens we're getting just as bad. |

Ohhh, I think you’ll find that if I did that we’d both get skewered. However, as someone who knows him as well as anyone in the world, I expect we will have a slight mix of both, but this will definitely be more dense than any other diary as far as content |

Why such little communication from Cartwright and Edwards since joining the club. Should they not be communicating with fans every so often across the season? Communication doesn't have to be directly related to team performances. It might help them to build realtionships and inspire confidence with the fans.
It feels like all we have had is the initial press conferences to introduce our new managers. They are the two people running the club, it feels like they are hiding away, which is probably not the case.

We want KN to have meaningful and purposeful questions & communicating to the fan base is paramount for me. Not only due to the ease and platforms available BUT we appear to be told less than ever before, which is saying something! To create interest, fervour and simply to feed demand, build up to match days like: away games and tickets sold updates (simple!) to maybe help people want to attend (or not) Ipswich posting through their socials is like a daily “hey, did you know…..” where we are a “now where will I find out if……” and across our platforms nothing seems of the moment, all seems secretive and reactive NOT proactive. Personally, I just don’t get it. More than ever we are going to need to be marketed , informed , sold to , kept in the loop, enticed , seduced, et Al…. In the scheme of things I appreciate this may be lower down the priority list BUT it is a pivotal part of any business with a product. Thank you |

Granted it would probably be a sanitised version but it would give the fans an idea of what things are like behind the scenes. I reckon that most fans do want to know how things work at their club and not just about the players. |
