Fans Forum.
could be interesting this
Complete waste of time. They'll tell you what they want you to here and what they've been authorised to discuss; nothing more.
Perhaps you should get yourself up and take PR and JK to task, let me know I will be there to witness the bloodbath!
Maybe that’s true but I enjoy them, I will be there and it’s good of people to give their time for the fans. We complain when they don’t so the least we can do is make an effort when they do.
PR on away fans: “On Saturday on social media after the game, I have never seen so many away fans be in such praise of the police, stewarding and the club and I think that’s something as a club we should be very proud of.” #pnefc
PR: “If we were to get promoted and spend the money wisely, even if it means going up, coming back down and then going up again, this club can become an established Premier League side which is where this city deserves to be.” #pnefc
JK on electronic turnstiles: “We are looking at having it implemented this summer and so subject to financial approval, which I’m confident we will get, then we will have electronic ticketing next season.” #pnefc
PR on player contracts: “We try to make sure all of our players are under contract and we are in a situation where three players are out of contract in the summer. We have a number of players with 18 months to go and we will have discussions with those we wish to extend.” #pnefc
PR on Cunningham: “I still have to pinch myself sometimes that Bristol City let him go for free. Greg is an outstanding player and he wants to play for this club and hopefully we have 20-odd other players in the squad who feel the same way.” #pnefc
AN on discipline: “I would challenge anyone to find a bad foul, we get most of our bookings due to our high pressing. I see it as a necessary evil right now, but of course I would like it to improve.” #pnefc
AN on discipline: “I don’t accept getting bookings for dissent and players get fined if they can’t keep their mouth shut as that’s unacceptable.” #pnefc
PR on Hugill: “We considered a lot of factors which included the opportunity for Jordan to play in the Premier League, the cash would help the club and we felt we were able to play competitive football without him in the side.” #pnefc
AN on Hugill: “We didn’t give in, we made the best decision for the football club and we got the best deal for the club.” #pnefc
AN on Earl: “Greg is a great player but the challenge for Josh is to try and displace Greg in the side.” #pnefc
AN on Moult: “Louis just needs to bide his time and show what he can do when he gets the opportunity. It’s been shown across the team this season that players can work their way into the squad. He is fit now, and he will get an opportunity.” #pnefc
AN on Moult: “Louis came and had an issue with his hamstring, he had about five weeks out with that. I pick the players that I think are playing well and Callum Robinson has been performing well and I haven’t felt it right for him to come out of the team.” #pnefc
PR on youth: “I don’t think our youth set up has been as vibrant or as healthy as it is today.” #pnefc
AN on youth: “I’m an advocate for developing young players and if they are good enough and they are ready I have no problem in playing them.” #pnefc
AN on youth: “I would go as far as saying that in terms of value for money we will be right up there. Without it the likes of Ben Davies and Josh Earl wouldn’t be here. We’ve got lads like Jack Baxter and Adam O’Reilly as well and I think it’s well worth it money.” #pnefc
PR on Gallagher: “He is playing well at the moment and we aren’t going to discuss what will happen with him in the future. He hasn’t always relied on his pace and so it’s possible we will be talking to Paul in the near future but we aren’t going to discuss that here.” #pnefc
AN on Maguire: “He is now back training with the squad but he is probably a couple of weeks away as it takes time.” #pnefc
AN on Maguire: “I think he will give us a different ingredient to what we’ve already got in the team. I think he will be key, the problem you’ve got when someone has been out for this length of time it’s about how long he will take to get up to speed.” #pnefc
JK on training ground: “We are going through one or two planning hurdles and our objective is to have the training ground completed by the end of June next year.” #pnefc
AN: “This club has had a certain style for four years and I’m trying to change that and the style I want to play is the complete opposite to that and it does take the players time to adapt.” #pnefc
PR on Ryan Ledson: “They would not negotiate with us, we never spoke to the lad personally as we work properly as a football club.” #pnefc
AN: “We see ourselves as an attacking team and based on attacks per games we are top of the league in terms of chances created, we are just lacking that final pass and that final ball to finish those chances and we know there’s room for improvement.” #pnefc
PR: “I think this football club is in the best position it has been for years, Alex Neil is a breathe of fresh air and I have never seen a manager work as hard as Alex does in the 30 years I’ve been in football, his work ethic is second to none.” #pnefc
Peter Ridsdale: “We are proud of the way this club is run. We are one of five teams in the Championship who haven’t been in the Premier League and we want to be there in the near future.” #pnefc
AN: “Just throwing money at it doesn’t always work and you wouldn’t get the players like Josh Earl and Ben Davies coming through and I think it’s about finding that balance and I think we’re doing that right now.” #pnefc
Alex Neil: “I came to this club to get us promoted to the Premier League, it’s going to take time but that’s my ambition and the ambition of the club.” #pnefc
John Kay: “We are all absolutely focused on getting this club to the Premier League, that motivates us every day and we are in a better position than we have been for some time.” #pnefc

Is there a free buffet ? what time ..... might nip down 🙂
They're certainly saying all the right things. By mid-October I thought Neil could have been the one to get us promoted but then the injury crisis took hold and the squad depth was poor to say the least. To his credit, Neil's bounced back but we'll probably finish in the top 10 rather than the top 6.
Having said that, Moult and Bodin have yet to hit top gear and if Maguire returns to form then we could start seeing that bit more composure in the final third that we've been lacking all season.

To be fair to him, I'm not sure I'd travel from Gloucestershire to hear what I pretty much knew already.

Absolutely the right thing to do to go electronic. I know it costs but we’re aiming to be in the Prem soon anyway, where it is compulsory, and it’s about operating with the times which is what customers want. Just bizarre how it’s taken them this long to realise it simply had to be done.
Hopefully the changes aren’t just the turnstiles but also the ticketing system. Buy online/print at home would be great for people who like/can only go on at short notice.
Plan of action on Ledson was to get him in summer if we couldn’t in January. Would be shocked if he’s not top of the list for that position once again come summer, especially with the end of the season only just over 2 months away now, planning will already be taking place.
There may not have been official talks with him “personally” as PR says, but signals were given to PNE that he was desperate to join.

It's not taken them this long to realise it had to be done. It was always we didn't have the money to put towards it. Now we do.

I can’t wait for the first home game of next season then when the computer goes down and there’s 24000* people stood outside.
“This wouldn’t have happened if we’d have kept the old books...”
“Bloody progress...”
* we’re in the prem obviously and Man Utd are up first.

Maybe it’s just the way I’ve interpreted what they’ve said in the past.
Whilst they have said about the costs, they’ve also said about how people have known our system for years and so on, and how the queueing was “unnecessary”, giving off the impression they weren’t really that bothered (maybe just defending the system for the sake of it).
Doesn’t matter anyway if they’re sorting it now (finally).
As I said hopefully it goes a bit further than just a barcode on a ticket and the whole system is reinvigorated.
Fully agree.
Good to see Hugill funds being invested in club infrastructure as well as on the pitch. Electronic tickets/cards opens up new ideas and hopefully can be linked to online ticketing and enable us to look at new ideas.
If It means I don’t have to lump loads of books around with me all the better.
Great again to hear such positivity from the club at this forum, I’ve been to plenty over years where it’s all been a little bit gloomy.
