Very true that the time to act is now, not when clubs are already on the brink. Unfortunately, experience shows us that this will likely fall on deaf ears.
We hate Carlisle United, we hate Workington too (and Morecambe), we hate Accrington Stanley but Barrow we love you :scarf:

Bonus:-
“As a final iFollow update, a fuller statement will be made on this subject but I’m aware that there have been questions on this Saturday’s FA Cup game. To confirm, this game against AFC Wimbledon will be available via iFollow at the standard price.“

Excellent, very informative update, and quite positive considering the general circumstances surrounding the club, football and the country in general. Thanks Levi.

Shame they have had to stop the hard programmes.

The I-Follow figures are worryingly low, it would be interesting to know how many watched the two EFL Trophy games, against Blackpool and Leeds.

Where can we see our I-follow viewing figures that includes the Away followings when we host as surely BW & Bradford had a lot?

Around 1,000 for home games of which two-thirds are season ticket holders so not a lot of extra income there. I am surprised at the low figure. iFollow isn't the most user-friendly platform, some will find it just too technically challenging, but I wonder how many supporters away from this forum know that it's available.

Good to have such a comprehensive report from the Chief Exec and encouraging that we continue to support ourselves. The question is whether those clubs already in receipt of support will be required to repay it at any stage or are they rewarded for being profligate?
Don't let the old man in.

Yes, we also get the income for the first 500 of those, so the figures aren't as low as they might seem. Though of course we won't get anything from the Harrogate or Mansfield games, and only 198 from the Carlisle game.

Would be interesting to see how many Bolton and Bradford fans purchased

Great to see these monthly updates and good to be reassured we are under no (immediate) huge financial pressure

Is it possible to find out going onto the Bolton and Bradford sites to get the info? Also a good idea to put the programme online it works for a number of other clubs. Perhaps free for season ticket holders and say a small contribution from others

Worth buying still - it has been a good read and very professional.

(I thought it was equally good last season, too so well done Ryan as well as Mark.)
