I have read both forum most days since May, much to my other half's dismay, but have not posted once! But with 2 days to go till the kick off I thought I might share a few thoughts......
Firstly DC continues to impress me, and I am really chuffed he is at the helm. I really trust him. He talks sense, talks realistic and does not talk for the sake of it. Come what may this year I will only judge him at the end of the season. His comments on his expectations this season (pushing for top 7) and in the longer term (top half of league 1) are the same as mine.
Stadium - yawn. can't personally affect it so don't worry about it. And I much prefer standing anyway.
the board / Higgs - I read all the stuff people post, the abuse, the clever educated comments, the snidey remarks etc and I just sigh....we are a divided fanbase and have some pretty mean nasty fans.....the people on the board etc are surely not in it to make money but must be gas heads or why would they bother.....surely there are easier ways to make money and avoid the abuse they get. They definitely get it wrong regularly but their motives are surely not as sinister as people want to tell us.
fun day - brilliant. Me and the kids loved it. Burgers and hot dogs were stupidly overpriced though. Players were great and got to thank the main man in person.
the squad / recruitment - really pleased......kept most of the squad and added wisely and steadily. Looking forward to seeing all the new guys. Again I trust DC more than any internet pundit as we really don't know as much as we think....budgets/characters/offers/agents/etc etc
Steve192k ..........absolutely no offence meant as you were one of my favourite posters last season but you seemed to have gone slightly mad this summer.....looking forward to your match reports though.
Alan Sugar - whoever you are ....well done.....my favourite poster last season.
This season.......want play offs, expect top half......demand passion and effort, which I think we will get so roll on Saturday.
