I didn’t realise that for thirty plus years I was supposed to add value, I thought as a lover of the club and volunteering not only at games but during the week and definitely during the closed season I was putting something towards the club, I’m sorry I didn’t have that odd £200,00 in my back pocket!
It’s sad, but I won’t be having a season ticket for the first time in years. Obviously not wanted. Might see you at the occasional game.

All I can say is that in my time as a former official of the club (in various capacities) ALL volunteers AND staff were valued, not only as individuals, but also as a terrific resource for the club. Not only when the club was faced with a F A Cup 1st Round game live on television, but also for the 'humdrum' home games, the club could always rely on those dedicated to the club to give up their time and offer whatever skills they had. Even if what was tried didn't work (I am thinking particularly of Dowse's plan to have cars on the pitchand attempting to use the heat/exhaust to melt the frost on the pitch!), Volunteer labour helped to build the club in the 1960s,70s &80s - some of the fruits of their labour can still be seen around Beveree.

Maybe you could apply for the Project Manager job they are advertising and get £30k in your back pocket for doing similar work

Really? Where's that being advertised then? I thought they'd appointed someone, has he left already?
