2004 Fans Survey Results - Your Comments[Up] [You and Notts County] [Matchday Experience] [Notts County Supporters Trust] [Comments]
Your comments from the Survey Form Early days yet a lot to learn Don’t share a ground I have no computer but would like to be kept-up-to-date Don’t assume everyone has a computer There is too much info on computer There should be popcorn on sale Toilets need to be cleaner as do the seats Both trust and club have yet to utilise fan base I would like to see more social events Concern that FITC fans seated near away end its nice to hear honest answers to questions put by Colin Slater on radio to a board member Keep up the good work and thank you Keep hold of mills once he gets us promoted and starts attracting attention I think that the trust has done an outstanding job heading in the right direction I've been a supporter for 30 years, until the last year NCFC have never passed on information to fans about the club. Hopefully the trust will put an end to this I have supported Notts for many years, this is the first time I have been asked about my opinions. Notts are excellent at shooting themselves in the foot. Ticket office not open to renew season ticket. Generally I don't think Notts do too bad. Is it not possible to devise a system so that adults, oaps and juveniles can use any turnstile? No soap in the women's toilet in the main stand keep up the excellent work My only comment is that £18 is too much. Also prices in general are too high. Please put another magpie on the trust logo Lets have value for money on and off the field Good to get regular e-mails letting us know what is going on The trust needs direct contact with the club to sort out problems None of the trust can be faulted for what they have done and what they hope to achieve. All the best! Keep up the good work Trust should work more with lifeline I live in Northampton and go to all home games. Try to encourage more people from Nottm in particular children to do the same. Tickets too expensive I think the trust is courageously tackling a very difficult job. I have missed trust meetings and events. Too many cuts were made. Getting involved with the trust is the best membership I could have. Need a more varied ticketing policy for home games. More money could be raised in the shop Concerned that children as they cross the date line cannot afford to go to matches and join the trust The trust is doing a good job. The pa system is very poor. I think the directors should be more vocal. Fans seating in season ticket seats Keep up the good work and help the club both to survive and move forward. Keep up the good work I have a great deal of faith in the way the club is going with the help of the trust. I am sure we shall be alright. The trust should have more of a say in the playing side of the club get home supporters in the kop I haven't joined the trust because I am not yet convinced of their long term aims. I do not believe that the trust should own NCFC but do believe that they should have a strong voice. It is evident that members of the trust board are working very hard to raise the profile of the trust to the fans and should be commended for all their efforts in saving Notts County FC. Keep up the good work I am pleased that the trust has a seat on the board and through that supporters views may be heard and feedback through the representatives to the fans Keep up the good work before administration NCFC operated like a secret society, never knowing what was going on behind the scenes. And never knowing why a particular decision had been made. My answers reflect that period of the club. Home supporters in the kop Value for money often depends on how the team plays Get rid of the players and sign players that are committed to winning. Pay on results. Trust should advertise and send information to its members regards any social functions it is holding The trust was essential to help Notts County stay in business and stop them from folding. Improve toilets for female fans Trust meetings midweek. I live outside Nottinghamshire The turnstiles on the County road do not allow you to enter the ground with a 3 year old - they have to use another turnstile. Language of some of the fans at away games can be bad. Lack of toilets for females or disabled in JS stand I think the business side of Notts County should be much more professional than it is at the moment Very impressed within a short space of time that the trust managed to raise the significant amount of cash to help save our club. Meetings on match days Trust could give more regular updates (no web access) I hope the trust try to keep ticket prices down. Notts County need to make the experience of visiting Meadow Lane are more pleasurable experience, particularly for the younger supporter. Ticket prices need to reflect the current stature of the club. Sort out the tannoy in the js stand Home support in the kop stand Whoever came up with the idea of the trust deserves a medal. I haven't joined the trust because I cannot make midweek meetings. We have to relaunch ourselves within a sound financial programme and plan. We have to learn from past experiences. Our trust has to play a part in this plan for the future. Sound financial management will be essential. The trust seems well organised and well established and may it continue to do its good work I have followed the magpies for 57 years. I was deeply ashamed at the new regimes treatment of Billy Dearden Will not be going down Notts until the patronising mills has gone. Everything is everyone else’s fault. Create a pre-match atmosphere. Create a better atmosphere at home. I am impressed with what is being done. we need a museum to display our history. Keep up the excellent work. well done so far, the trust has and appears to continue to do the club and its supporters proud. The trust rep on the NCFC board should be pressing for lower match prices - particularly for concessions. All the perks in the world won't count - its match prices that really matter - and a winning team - which we haven't had for 3 years. I will renew my season ticket for next season but only if the price stays down. I believe that ticket prices should be reviewed now that the club is in the third division, and that it should make it affordable to families so that it becomes more attractive, thus increasing attendances and filling more seats, without reducing income. Can we have some quality items in stock in the club shop. The range over the last few years has been terrible. The avec range was great - nothing fancy but decent clothing. And please can we have a gold badge back on the shirt to replace the yellow one. Haven't joined trust because meetings are mid-week and live outside Nottinghamshire need a wider range of goods in the club shop I think the trust should look into launching their own clothing range for fans aged 15 to 40. Ticket prices are too expensive Trust should investigate the possibility of making an agreement with parents of young teenage players so that they not walk away from the club. I think that what you have achieved is remarkable. I am impressed that you are maintaining the momentum which is very necessary. It might have been easy to believe that the club coming out of administration was the end of the story. Clearly it is only the beginning. Toilets aren't clean Generally doing a good job but I have reservations as to how long volunteer labour can be used as is happening in the Meadow club. Thank you - you helped save my club! Meadow lane should be a community hub Trust should put info in the press, I don’t have a computer and feel left out without one The Meadow club is good Don’t raise prices The trust should have a staffed office at ML to give members chance to discuss things with board. Sure it would help increase/maintain membership The questionnaire forces choices Sky tv in Meadow club The fans now know exactly what is going on hopefully next season the whole club can have a fresh new start with no financial worries and the team can really start reaching the clubs potential and rewarding its loyal fans Best part of the club is the trust could we have better designed shirts, they look cheap Keep up the good work My main gripe at present is that I have a three year old daughter who comes to some matches. I have lifted her over the turnstile but have been told she should go through the kids entrance and pay. She is 3 years old - this is not practical. Hand dryer is cold. Tannoy system is poor in JS stand Keep fans informed at all times lower matchday prices give free season tickets for all children under 16 Season tickets too expensive The ticket prices are very poor value. I don't have a computer and don't buy the NEP. Failure to honour contracts to 4 players signed by BD Definitely need to get more supporters to join. The away end should be for home supporters Shirts aren't available in different sizes More females need to be involved Rubbish on the pitch in the second half The stewards on the doors upstairs are not very welcoming. Keep in more regular contact (postal/e-mail) with trust members. Keep the fans informed There is clearly a lot of work involved and I would like to see the trust using the local press more to pull together working parties to address specific areas of the business. I now sincerely hope that the trust along with the blenheim consortium can take the open road to involve and communicate with the fans so we can continue to support Gary Mills his staff and the club. My answers about the trust endorse my hope for the future. I think the trust is doing a very good job - keep up the good work Juveniles should be let in free of charge. Lack of toilets in js stand Little mention these days of lifeline. Hand dryer doesn't work Good luck next season. I believe Gary Mills is the best thing that has happened to NCFC for a long time thank you for all the hard work the trust do to help the club There is a significant fan base throughout the country not all tapped into Like most loyal fans I am proud to be involved in the trust and hope that further progress can be made to help County get back to division 2 in the future. Fewer and fewer fans pay more and more for poorer and poorer football. PA does not play rousing music, half time or after goals We need music just before and as the teams come out It has been a breath of fresh air I understand your aims and wish the trust well and as a 5 year season ticket bond holder have invested heavily in the club in times of need. You sponsored mcgoldrick and he is going? get rid of the awful Notts County song, it is embarassing Turn up volume of pa Having the Meadow club done up and adding sky is just great. It is badly needed as the pubs around Notts are rubbish. I know that my much earned beer money will be going to a good cause. Turnstile staff unhelpful and at times obstructive. Look into a faster system for the beer outlets like the system used by chelsea How about a 10-12 match season ticket? Have 10-12 match season tickets or a rolling season ticket? Your organisation is the first sign of anything at the club being run on anything like a professional basis. Catering - quality and service must be improved Under the current financial arrangements the club can only aspire to be a
lower div 2 or div 3 club. Trust positive force gigs please Lack of proactive marketing It is great to be a part of the club I have supported for 35 years thank you to all at the trust thanks for your efforts Having to send youngsters through separate turnstile Encourage children to attend matches with free tickets Children are the future There are no players who excite me. I only hear about things through the newsletter or match programme. Departure of BD News via e-mail is excellent. The trust is doing a fantastic job. long sleeve shirts and names printed on. Better ball boys Too many complimentary tickets being given out. Have a column in the NEP. Keep asking/listening to the fans Also incentives to get bigger crowds home and away to lift the team. If this is not realistic then there should be more family deals as in the nep to attract more younger fans for the future Cold water out of hot tap Scoreboard on kop stand PA needs upgrading and livening up Keep up the very good work! To achieve so much in 12 months is incredible. The tannoy is a joke in the main stand Entertain the crowd Why do children and adults have to enter through different turnstiles? Matchday admission is too much Ticket office opening hours not good for those that work 9-5 Offer youngsters something to collect i.e. Stamps Many congratulations and every good wishes for great success on and off the field in the future. Would like to see more positive PR initiatives involved and more schools involved. Get the players in schools and get them into Notts The euphoria of saving the club will soon evaporate unless the results improve and the current playing squad is incapable of challenging for promotion from div 3 Discounts for children Toilets need renovating and to be cleaner perception that ideas have to go through NCST if they are to be considered Fans in season ticket seats Free children season tickets Best wishes to the trust. I hope that you can succeed. Gary mills has no experience at league level Keep up the good work. Would have spent more money if these facilities were available I wouldn't even mind a drum! Well done to all involved. The trust is a benefit to all of us and is doing an excellent job Play music after goals Fans smoking in the family stand Should re-introduce bookies into the ground I believe in the trust and thank them for their efforts Current admission prices are too expensive Better quality merchandise Management by committee has never worked Kids birthday parties Very poor quality merchandise in club shop large away followings should be held back in the ground for 5-10 minutes Home fans in the kop stand Club needs to get fans involved in marketing strategy The sale of mark stallard Put home fans in the kop The trust is doing an excellent job More incentives needed for fans i.e. Trade in old kit for new Find way of cutting queues for catering THE REASON I GIVE 5 TO THE ABOVE IS BECAUSE I DONT LIKE THE WAY THAT THE
MESSAGE BOARD IS SET OUT [ITS NOT CLEAR ENOUGH] THAT IS WHY I DONT THINK MANY
PEOPLE GO ON IT. THIS IS A SMALL MOAN BUT OTHERWISE THE TRUST HAS DONE A BRILL
