What narrative, I thought Roady & co were the ones leading that crusade, I haven't a clue whether they are money grabbers or not, I'm not that well connected! Anyway how's your anti TG narrative going, I can't see many posters joining your own crusade against him? I don't see this forum as a popularity competition, is that how you view it? I think he should have been sacked about three outrageous decisions ago, around the same time as the planning permission nightmare. As I have said previously, I don't think anyone should have got a refund when ticket prices were reduced. Just can't see the justification. "I haven't a clue whether they are money grabbers or not" You do read back what you post? Your posts are giving the impression that is exactly what you think. Thinking more about this if they are money grabbers they've invested in totally the wrong club, as they've little chance of grabbing any money from Rovers, even if they have decided to cut the losses Wael suffered each season. |

So where does that leave TG? Is he a CEO that can make decisions? |

Who do you expect to answer those questions as nobody seems to have a clue on here, why not attend the Q&A and ask him the question? |

Hang on just a moment. Where's the reciprocation here? How much did Rovers fans pay only 10 days later down at SJP?
The offer to Rovers fans was to allow the club to (hopefully) get the necessary numbers in the stand to fulfil the criteria for first stage capacity testing, at very short notice. I see no reason to extend that offer to ECFC fans.
I see the issue being more of a communication shortfall. If things are explained concisely in good time, most of the ensuing noise is halted before it begins.

From what I can tell, it's not the fact that we sold tickets for a tenner that is the issue with Exeter. They accepted and agreed to that in the spirit of it being a test event. What they are unhappy about is that Rovers fans have been given refunds (I didn't get one BTW, has anyone else?). However the Exeter fans haven't been given refunds. If we hadn't refunded, then this issue wouldn't exist. I still can't get my head around on one hand, we are being lead to believe the new owners have no money. Then on the other hand, they have refunded the Rovers fans. It just doesn't make sense. Why would they do that? When the season ticket prices got released, there was a large backlash on here about it. When the £10 tickets got announced, there wasn't really many complaints. Many fans thought it was a great opportunity to give the South stand a go. It just doesn't make sense, who decided to refund the money. |

Just out of interest, what has been suggested that the Torquay owners did? Take the club into oblivion to sell the stadium land for housing, I hear you say? Well, you could say that and I couldn't possibly comment. It's lucky we don't have land in an area that is rife for building houses. Luckily, we don't have land over in Thornbury that can be sold back to the council at a profit. Yes, as a football club we are not making money. However, remove the football club bit and everything starts to look like being a nice little earner. (Not ITK BTW). |

It was only 3-4years ago everyone agreed the sport couldn't do without fans in Lockdown. Now moving on, we're still exploited by our own club (in the Family season ticket initial policy, that was subsequently revoked after protests) and Exeter fans too (before a press war). If we were truly valued, instead of going through the tick box motions, it wouldn't have to come this far, so if you still don't want to see it now more than ever - all you and I are to club representatives are, is a commodity. Yes of course there will be crumbs off the table for Fleetwood fans or suchlike, but it'll be few and far between. TG has made some horrendous decisions, some of which are still resonating. He if he's CEO should issue a heartfelt apology and refund everyone affected in Exeter camp. |

In answer to the question "I didn't get one BTW, has anyone else?", I didn't get one until I emailed the club and queried why I didn't get my refund. In fairness they then immediately credited my account, but are they not actually issuing the promised refunds until we ask for them?
