Mate it’s hardly breaking the bank is £100. It’s not even what someone would spend on a decent night out. Another way to look at it is £4.34 extra per game. Not even the price of a pint these days. Negative comments just for the sake of it What night outs do you have? "It's not even what someone would spend on a decent night out"? Unless you're hiring a limo and hooker then you must drink some ale. My wife would kill me if I spent that on a night out. As an ex deighton high myself, if you can get hookers, limo and beers for £100……I’ll pay for you too |

What’s going on?
Upwards of £5 a pint?
I pay £3.20 at my local Sam Smith’s establishment.

I too occasionally have a pint of lager, have mates who drink Carling, and simply can't understand it. Gassy, sugary, bloaty stuff, guaranteed to put pounds of weight and a beer gut on you. (The Moretti...better, same with Madri, but still not my thing really. Each to their own, I'll stick to my supposedly flat murky wet dog smelling stuff, even though that latter description is more preachy and nonsense than what I said. .....gassy is gassy) Each to their own eh, I've tried the odd real ale, just don't get it but probably in the minority. I've been out with real ale drinkers though and they seem to take it very seriously! I'm just easy pleased I guess, a nice cold pilsner on draught (definitely not carling) and I'm happy. No worries, I sort of gave up on this thread when our friend from over the pond didn't understand that a garden is something you grow things in, flowers and vegetables included. A yard being a concrete area at the back of some terraced house. Let alone their inability to use two cutlery implements at the same time, like ALL the rest of Europe, South America, Canada, well anywhere really. I honestly can't watch Big Bang, Young Sheldon etc to this day, without suffering culture shock. It's mind blowing, and plenty Americans agree. True until you notice it, it doesn't bother you, but when you do, well just why? Why do you need your food cut up like a baby does beforehand, why do you use a fork as a shovel? ( What I initially said was, YOU MAY AS WELL USE A SPOON, before some idiot took it out of context.) |

Can’t disagree. Found an old spreadsheet of bills earlier today from 2016, frightening how much costs have spiralled. In fact the only thing that’s gone down is my season ticket 😄 and 65 inch TVs Don't go to Currys for a 65in TV. I just got one to watch the Premier League next season and it came without leeds. |

I think these are fantastic. The 15 million figure to Hoyle was news to me.
The rest of it, the more i hear from Kevin the more optimistic i am.

That's the best diary I have heard. There is a commitment, desire and a stated realistic target, initially getting back to the Championship. That suggests that MD will be supported (I didn't sense he would have taken the role on were that not the case) and will be involved in shaping the squad. It is also acknowledged that it won't be easy, I took that as another acknowledgement that you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
Both Dave and Mr Nagle are also getting the tone right, well for me they are. It shows that lessons are being learned and people are listened to. I genuinely feel we have a plan and desire. Time will obviously tell but I think we may be turning a corner.
The away ticket allocation wasn't addressed but that probably needs to be taken up at the ATT panel. If things do go well I can see that being an issue for the games with smaller away sections.
It's now down to MC and MD and recruitment. The next few weeks will set the foundation for the season to come.
Outside our own orbit I suspect we won't be considered as being "anything special" this season. The lads at "We Are Terriers" are cautioning that the adjustment to League One could take time. That might be true but that also takes pressure off. If MD and the players are focused starting a little under the radar could be beneficial. Let Ryan Ryenolds and Tom Brady have the attention and let us focus on winning games of football.
Overall I feel much more optimistic but as Mr Nagle said the proof of the pudding.....

I found that interesting, almost seems the agreement with Kirklees is in place now with just the Giants to settle with. Sounds promising either way! |

Regarding the away tickets if we are chasing promotion i think this is going to be a bigger issue than many think. Even without everyone thinks they are going to Wrexham. From a pure selfish point of view i’m in the blue and white which gives me 3 tickets (which isn’t right) so i hope it doesn’t get addressed. |

Overall I feel much more optimistic but as Mr Nagle said the proof of the pudding..... I don’t see the away ticket allocation being that important at the moment, we can barely fill the south stand let alone the rest of the stadium. It will take a fair few wins for people to start coming back. We are seen by a lot of the teams in the league as one of the bigger clubs that will be there or thereabouts. We are by the bookies as well. Make no doubt about it, we should be aiming for top 6 and the club will be too. Clubs will come to our ground and sit behind the ball and look to counter. How we shape the squad over the next couple months will be extremely important as we want to start as quick as possible, although I do understand it may take time due to a new manager and new players. |

Yes, we might have reduced crowds at home this season, especially early on unless or until we're obviously in a promotion race or not...BUT... Clubs like Burton, Stevenage, Exeter have a basic away allocation of between 900 and 1500 by default, Northampton is less than a 1000 (and was sold out when we were diving down the leagues previously)...win a few games in the early months and they'll all be sold out. |

Plus people will want to see new grounds if never been, so I think most away games will be close to sold out |

Interesting regarding the stadium....seems KN is helping the Giants with a new stadium? Or just buying them out of the JS? How did anyone else take that situation? I took it that he was negotiating to acquire the 20% holding Davy has in the stadium company (think he transferred it out of Giants ownership as he did with Town's holding when he owned the football club). No idea if the price for the shares would be cash or non cash ie land or infrastructure costs towards a new stadium for the RL club. To fully acquire the stadium he'll also need to reach agreement with KMC for their holding and I didn't pick up anything on that side of things. Hopefully agreed in principle and awaiting conclusion to the Davy deal. My follow up question would have been - will the shares being acquired be held by the football club as I believe the existing 40% are, or in some other financial entity? Preferably the former so Kirklees Stadium Dev Co becomes a 100% owned subsidiary of HTAFC with no ongoing rental commitment. To my mind though the funding question is still being skirted around. I take comfort from the apparent approach that he'll fund the club and look to get as much back or more when the time comes to sell. To me that suggests no current intention to take money from the club's cashflow during his ownership. That was also the case with Hoyle though until his illness and change of approach. To fund ongoing losses, new players, stadium acquisition and other capex Nagle is having to put more funding into the club and from an accounting perspective that needs to be either through equity (new shares) or loans. As a businessman he must know that and I can't understand his reluctance to say 'I'm funding the club through director's loans but these are interest free and without capital repayments for x years' or whatever the actual case is. I guess he must feel that his commitment to the club could be questioned if he did - but the annual accounts will need to refer to this each year anyway (though a much smaller proportion of the fanbase will pay attention to the accounts than the diary updates). On the topic of accounts, my reading of the latest figures is that the carrying figure for Hoyle's remaining loans is c£19m not the £15m referred to as payable to him in the event of PL return. Position may have changed of course post that year end. |

Just listened to the latest diary. Fantastic. It remains to be seen of course, and ultimately it is what happens on the pitch that matters, but I think the club is getting close to being in a good place moving forward.
KN is a year in now on this project called HTAFC. Some things finally seem to be falling into place, particularly concerning ownership of the stadium. A solution that suits the council, the Giants, and most importantly the football club seems fairly imminent. That would be a major goal achieved mainly (I assume) by Jake Edwards. We may not hear much from him but maybe he’s concentrating on fulfilling his remit and taking care of (off the field) business.
KN again supported Cartwright. I’ve been uncomfortable with a lot (not all) of the criticism aimed at him on here. KN was also entirely clear that the “bad eggs” in the dressing room will (in his words) “exit the club”.
Michael Duff was my choice after Moore was sacked. I think he’s exactly the manager we need at this time, and I am certain KN will give him time and support, and I think that will bring success.
I think KN properly “gets” what being a Town fan means to us all, as does Carmichael Dave. I have no doubt the pair of them would happily chat for hours over a few pints and talk about Town. Americans love history and Town’s incredible and proud history clearly appeals so much to them. They are learning all the time and I think we are in good hands.
