Have we repaired the electronic turnstyles.

Nope still only 2 working on the Kop yesterday. One of the steward said he doesn't expect them to be fixed. And no live action on the concourse. As the crowd dwindles it will only get worse. And guess who will be to blame! Yep the fans who have decided they no longer want to get ripped off.

I wondered why there appeared to be unlikely queues when I walked past. That explains it.

It's been like it since the Swindon game. If you have paper tickets the steward have been letting you through the big blue door.

Sums the club up if they can't be bothered to repair such things. Same with the exterior of the ground looking tired too

Get real folks we're consistently making losses.

It's a bit like looking after your home or car! If you don't look after the minor repairs they turn into major ones. I'm sure Turnipe has it all under control and has a strategy.

I lingered briefly at the corner of the East and South stands and noticed the fading sticker of a rival club slap bang in the middle of the stadium plan.

I considered peeling it off myself but the thought passed.

Problem is it's reviewed every morning.

And who's going to want to visit, have an event, sponsor, come to game etc at a stadium falling to bits?

Part of the sell on and off the pitch was the new ground / good facilities. If we let the place fall into ruin these small touch ups will become bigger issues and the place will lose its appeal.

Some people obviously don't see that which is worrying.

More than worrying if we consider that a facilities / team split was / is on the agenda. Obviously got to the point of spending no more and the sooner it's sold the better.

Have they stumbled across a copy of JNL's 80s blueprint on Austerity for Lower League Football Clubs?

Needs must.
