How bad is it when the CEO of OUR club has such a lack of respect for both sets of supporters, particularly those making long trips to see the game, that he can't even be bothered to ensure that they - PAYING CUSTOMERS - are kept in the loop with what is happening regarding the game tomorrow. I saw someone on YB mention that there will be a pitch inspection at 9:30 - 11:30 tomorrow, now regardless of whether or not this is the case, how much does it take for someone to write one or two sentences on COWS to say that there is/isn't an inspection? When McKnight has done what I believe he came here to do and run this club of ours into the ground and out of Edgeley Park, he should be chased out of Stockport by a restless lynch mob of County fans and ar*e kicked all the way back to Market bloody Harborough with one of these:  MCKNIGHT OUT!! |

Furthermore, this could easily be done from home on a laptop, and if we had someone working on this side of things who genuinely gave a sh*t, they would have made sure something was put on there to let supporters know what the plans are for tomorrow.
It's pure f**king bone idleness, there's no excuse for it.

the first thing i've done when i've got home is fire up county heaven, and that's to no real purpose (apart from the joy it brings me).
you'd think when there's two thousand paying punters a little bit interested, somebody would have been arsed to type one sentence.

Exactly, mate. I can post images and youtube vids, add plug ins to this site, make announcements via the info banner, and alter the news feed............ all from my mobile phone. They're talking out of their arses if they say it's not easy to do.

Any Joey could type up a sentence saying, Pitch Inspection at 10:30 for example!
Feckin' amateurs!

And not everyone lives in stockport so there is a genuine need to know early. I was in two minds whether to risk the travel in case it was called off. Luckily the match went ahead. |

I gain many updates from the twitter accounts of other clubs. I noticed that a few county fans were hoping to gain info that way but alas....  I wonder whose responsibility it is of communicating with the fans after Phil left? Another cut that is I am sure McKnight does not regret. |

To join a few dots... He sacks the groundsman which increases the chance of games being postponed. This leads to the immediate reduction in income from gate receipts, etc. Fans are more likely to check if the next game is going on rather than blindly turning up. He sacks the guy who is responsible for (and has an excellent track record in) communicating with fans. The lack of timely information means fans (especially those of us in exile) make alternative plans for the Saturday. Those fans then find out the game is on, but too late leading to big frustrations. Gates have dropped from 3000 to 2000 since he took over. As they say over the pond - you do the math. How many fans are there like ceefer who actually decide not to bother. Even if it's a 100, it's a big loss of income. Does this clown even know how a P&L works? Maybe we could club together and order him this (assuming he can read big words):  |

I can honestly say that if I were to move back to Stockport tomorrow I would be attending home games again. Losing my old job last year was the main reason I stopped forking out for a season ticket, but I wouldn't have bought one anyway after that idiot's decision-making saw us relegated.
Had he held his hands up and walked away at the end of last season, I would have made more of an effort to get the money together to go to more games this season. As it is, he's still here after all that bullsh*t he spouted about "Bogie's budget". He hoodwinked fans into believing his 'vision'. His refusal to grant fudgie the interview he promised him shows that he either knows we won't buy his b*ll*cks anymore, or he's finally realised what we all knew about 9 months ago, that he's a FAILURE.
So now I no longer make the effort, purely because it takes me over two hours to get there and two hours to get back, and the best part of £20 in train fare. I'd effectively be paying twice to watch the 360 degree regional football that McKnight has implemented with fundamental best practice. So that that's why I'm staying put on match days until he's gone.
I suppose you could say that I've learned to wash my own face.
MCKNIGHT OUT!!

Nothing wrong with COWS, they've just let us know that Andy Thorpe's out for a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury.
Some people are just not satisfied.

Well, there's no cash to bring in a replacement for Tash, so it looks like we can kiss goodbye to the play-offs now.  Note to COWS: Wtf is going on with Clubcall? Whenever I ring the number I keep getting put through to some bird called Simone, who would like to **** my **** and give me a right good ******* until my **** drops off. It's cost me a small fortune. I had a torrid time arguing with Sky over my last phone bill! |

Maccy and I actually asked him this very question after the match on Saturday and his response was: "Not sure I've heard of that one, but I assume it's like my current one where I just wash it once then rinse?"

For those of you who aren't admins, and therefore can't see the part of Gazza's text which he's blocked out, let me enlighten you all:
"Whenever I ring the number I keep getting put through to some bird called Simone, who would like to DISCUSS my PAYMENT PROTECTION INSURANCE and give me a right good CLAIM until my INTEREST RATE drops off."
