Piethagoram wouldn't that have been put towards the Compensation to Wealdstone (well part of it) paid by Notts to get Stuart Maynard and offer him a Three and a half year contract? I think Joe Palmer needs to walk before he can run and get his priorities right. The Playing surface which is being undertaken (that isn't going to come cheap) and the concourse repair has Robbie as mentioned. Mr Palmer needs to be reigned in with all these ideas he keeps coming up with, Notts after all are Not a Premier League Club with Premier League Money. Nice and Easy work within a Budget, Top Priorities The Pitch, New Players and Fan Comfort during a Match Day, because lets Not Forget Not All Notts fans can afford the Luxury of a Hospitality Box.

Trouble is money is king in football now, I wish it were not so but it is.

It is good that we have pragmatic owners who are keen to run a tight ship when it comes to the purse strings. It seems they are keen to keep within a pre determined  budget based on income if they can.

It looks to me that Palmer has been brought in to specifically look at ways in which to make money and it seems he is trying to do just that.

Increasing space to install more executive boxes is an example of this, and of course we are going to have the Nest next door.

I hope Notts are successful in increasing the revenue because extra revenue can be ploughed back into the club to improve the ground and try to recruit better players.

 

 

 

I hope you're right regarding the Brothers hold on the Purse Strings Robbie ( I'm sure you are) it's just  that I've seen to many of these Ideas men come into a business with all these promises of a Big Money Return for such and such investment only for the idea to  fail, and to many failures would see the Business Crumble. I'm Not saying Joe Palmer is one of these Wide Boys it's just I Personally  don't like the idea of to many projects going off all at once. Regarding the Nest his he hoping that Forest fans will also attend? Because personally I can't see the Fan Zone being supported financially by Notts fans alone. Will visiting fans be encouraged  to visit the Fan Zone? If so Security will have to be tight especially if Alcohol is being served. The Nest can hold up to 1,500 Fans but how many will have to attend regularly to make it a success? 500 a 1,000 or the full quota of 1,500?  I can't be the only Magpies Fan with worries hopefully the Club can be transparent with it's spending or give some idea and reassure Fans that Money is available and will cover the costs that will be required for all the Projects being presented. I for one wouldn't want to be throwing my loose change into a plastic bucket outside the ground or watch another Notts vs Forest match to help boost the Funds of the Club. 

I get what you are saying @Wheelbarrow repair man I think that all these improvements would have been costed and approved months ago, before they were announced.

I am sure there may be lots of questions for Palmer and Montague regarding all these projects and things may be much clearer to all of us afterwards.

I can't think that visiting supporters will be allowed in on Match Days because that could cause a security issue.

I'm really pleased about the plans for the ground improvements, and knowing that Notts won't have future problems with waterlogged and frozen pitches.

It's good to see some new investment in the infrastructure. I wouldnt be surprised if the club shop relocates within the Nest area. The Meadow Lane Sports bar then opens for away supporters only?
