Originally posted by ASCPFC You forgot the gates. Frankly all minor things that should have been done years ago. Comparing it to always since my first match in 79. In fact, it used to be better for tea, Bovril and pies and higher attendances with the standing. I'm talking about the s*** match day experience and poor food and drink that many have already posted about on this forum several times. And yes, I use Anfield as a comparison. Their US owners have hugely improved availability of food and drink and toilets and also paid for the new main stand - which I have never been in but looks great. We have improved small things but if we got relegated next season, one of the first threads on here would be 'The Premiership what did we gain?', the answers would be very little. We have barely improved any infrastructure currently. The fact that they were long overdue doesn't change the fact that it is 2010 who have made the changes. Our stadium is old and difficult to modernise but it is happening where they can. Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

Originally posted by Rudi Hedman That’s terrible. Still, we’ve got a nice office we rent off Parish’s company called ‘Smoke and Mirrors.’ You mean the office our web/media/marketing teams are based in which, until recently, we only paid a ‘peppercorn’ rent for (changed to ‘market rate’ once new auditors appointed)? There are several companies in those offices which all appear to be paying the going rate for their share of the space & the building itself seems to be owned by a middle-eastern property co. Smoke & Mirrors is a video production co working mainly in the marketing sector (SP’s background) yet people seem to like to play on the name as if it’s something suspicious. It’s not like he’s the only director/shareholder either. If I understood what was said at the new stand launch correctly, our offices would all relocate there when (ok, if) it’s built. Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

It’s not like he’s the only director/shareholder either. According to the accounts there are two directors with Parish owning 85% of the shares. Again according to the accounts Smoke & Mirrors Film Productions Ltd is now dormant and the parent company Smoke & Mirrors Group Ltd is an investment company with it's main asset being a property

It was obviously the tooth fairy who supplied the money for our top players,then there is the youth set up and training ground, that can only be Santa who supplies the money for that.

Originally posted by dp Did you ever try the The Vice President club, i don't know if you can still get membership, but they were still advertising for members a few years ago, i must admit its around 20 years ago that i used it for corporate hospitality,but it was excellent. For a thousand pounds a year ( i know, 20 years ago) you got your own place in the car park, a seat in the directors box, a private lounge with free sandwiches,( as many as you want,)(freshly made, not out a packet, the lounge had its own bar,and could be used before the game, half time, and after the game, the lounge also had armchairs,tables, and TV. you also got a free program. For evening games you can use the directors restaurant that was excellent, Ron Nodes used it all the time with his wife and guests from the visiting club. If i was back in England i would rejoin as a priority. However i believe the car park is now full with a waiting list.
