BHmfc has asked for the facts, theres a little bit of criticism aimed at the ground but hes asked for the fact to be made clear. Then perhaps the criticism will be either justified or not. But without the fact speculation and comparisons are always going to made to other situations (in this case Chesterfield) particularly on a fans forum.

4.Where did the Directors go wrong in developing the club?
1. I am pleased, in fact delighted. Its shows how far we have come as a club. But I'm concerned that we are not getting value for money and that things haven't gone to plan which could cost more money to fix in the future.
2. Because if the cost spiral, ultimately it could jeopardise the playing squad or worse bankrupt the club.
3. I dont care, but I dont know how much that saved them, i.e how much it cost us. But at £1m more than us they seem to have got a lot for there buck. If the land cost us £6 million then we have essentially got a £6m stadium after buying the land which is actually good value. it really wouldn't be that hard to say. The build cost £Xm and the land(s) cost £Xm
4. They havent gone wrong, the club is in the best position its ever been in, and these guys have put their own hands in their own pockets for too long. I take my hat off to all of them. They have given me a club to be proud of and I cant thank them enough. But i also love my Mum, and i know its her money, but when she tells me shes selling the house to buy a Ferrari I'm still going to ask questions (and i dont mean ones like can i have go).
The one thing i will agree is your not going to get these answer on a forum.
I dont want to compare us with Chesterfield, our fans are far better, take a look at the delight on there board at our misery that would never happen on here. We have far better supports, our PA and Security is second to none. But holding my hands up they have a great stadium, build on time and handed over. I am envious of that. And i would like to know why we dont have that. But please dont confuse this with not supporting the board or the club, I love this club. I would just like to know were not about to implode and that everything is in order!
