First game at home. Big crowd. Plenty to discuss with fellow travelers after the game.
Only half of bar open and last orders at 5:30. I get it you don't want us there.

It is still early days with the new owners. They know Redz Bar is a problem and they want to change it. They want it to be a place people can go to before and after. Currently there are things stopping this from happening but they are wanting to change that.
But for the first time in a year, the coffee bars worked a treat. 2 in queue before game and coffee in hand with plenty of time to spare. I moaned continuously last year so well done to the staff today - great job

Yeah fair play to them, but wasn’t the fact that people couldn’t pay by car a factor that reduced queues.
Thinking about funds, would it be worth considering selling programmes in the ground on match days? At Carlisle, whilst there were sellers outside the ground, they had someone go come round just before kick-off and they did sell a few. I’m pretty sure we used to do this several years ago. I know that most people who want to buy a programme will do so before they enter the stadium, but even if we get a few impulse purchases, it’s better than nothing.

Further comments for the fans council to take up. Regarding the programmes. Can we have the teams on the back page be printed in larger print. The print is far to small to be read at a glance during the match.
What it needs is organising like the fans council having either fortnightly or monthly meetings and an email address where fans can put questions forward and see a reply. I put a question to a member and got no response or conviction that my question would be taken up. I now hear they were all taken out for a meal so is it a friends luncheon club seems Preston has picked a band of yes people. I wont bother to put anything else forward till i see it working.
Hi. Sorry for the lack of updates from me. I'm on holiday 🎉 Anyways, we have had nearly 100 questions which as you can image will take a little while to get through them all. We have released all the questions that Preston has answered and so we are waiting for him to answer some more.
RE the meal, yep we did go for one. The idea was to talk about how the first home game of the season went. We normally hold our meetings on Zoom and so this was a one off
Why not publish the list of questions and the answers as they are answered that way it would stop the same question being asked and informing the supporters what the situation is.

We would love one or two more people to join us on the CTFC Fan Council 💼 Do you think you have what it takes? Are you passionate about improving the match day experience at Crawley? If the answer is yes, apply here: bit.ly/ctfcapplication Closing date is the 5th September

Good idea. Would just need to find a place to put all of the questions that have been answered so far. Perhaps a Google doc?
All seems to have gone quiet with the Fan Council.
I asked a question on here on 10 August, Ashdown Red also asked something on the same day.
It would be good if the fan council gave out a statement about how we can contact them and what their method of communication is.
Hi. Yeh we have had a lot more questions than we expected (nearly 100!) so it will take a bit of time to get them answered unfortunately. On a post from the 29th July I did put that we have a Facebook and twitter account. There is also a link to a form for you to put your questions. Also come speak to us at a game if you see us The difficulty about this forum is that previous posts get hidden away such as links to docs and other social media What I will try and do for now on is, at the bottom of each Fan Council post, ensure the links are there
1 Is it possible to get an update on when new kits and merchandise is expected to be on sale ?
2 Is it possible to get an update on when a decision is expected on a potential new license for selling alcohol outside Redz Bar at the stadium.
Many thanks
Hello to you Creepy
Updates for you :
1. Not set date. When we met up with Preston a week ago, he said someone from Adidas said 1 to 2 weeks. However, no release date will be announced due to last minute delays as we have seen from other clubs. 2. No update as just waiting for the council now. Fingers crossed it is sooner rather than later
