lowest crowd again

[fiz]

Once again Ossett town have the Honor of being the worst supported team in the division only 163 turning up on a miserable day at Ingfield.
After the Tescos debacle we were informed by the Exec committee that 1800 people had signed up to a petition which has never been seen which was against the selling of the ground to Tescos. The exec committee went along with this so-called petition and since then have had to scrimp scrape and moaned about the financial status of the club. Surely knowing that the support of the people of Ossett Was never to be rely ed upon the question has to be asked why on earth was the offer of Tescos not pursued further.
Looking at the members of the exec i struggle to see where their expertise of managing the football club lies.
Non of them have much if any footballing expertise and i dont see any successful business men who's millions could be used to take the club forward. As a team we are a bit as Kitty states Jekyll & Hyde but with a good run of results and having seen the other teams in the league certainly we're capable of making the play offs but with the foresight and poor support of the exec committee & people of ossett we arnt set up off the pitch to ever consider the prospect of conference football.
we need clear direction from those above as to where they want to take the club at the moment we're like a ship without a rudder with no direction and just staying afloat with very little support. Its time that the people of Ossett and the exec pull together and have a concerted effort to take the club forward.
There plenty to debate.

They just want an easy life and cheap beer, the football is incidental and it matters not to them whether Ossett Town play in the Unibond Prem or the Wakefield Saturday League.

They have no emotional investment in the juniors, Academy, or reserves and would happily do away with the lot of them if it was'nt for the money they receive from these teams, parents and supporters via the bars and functions booked.

i would be interested to know how many businessmen and women signed the petition and how many of them have subsequently put their money where there mouth is and actually invested in the club. I presume Graham Willis would have a better idea than most about the answer to that question.

There can't be that many successful businesses in Ossett who would be prepared to put their money where their mouth is can there? Last time I was there it was becoming a ghost town and swallowed up by the city of Wakefield.

impression i get is that anyone with a car would rather go to Dewsbury or wakefield shopping, i've been in co-op a couple of times on a Saturday lately and there doesn't seem to be all that many people in.

Well there is another good point I guess the parking situation has got no better either which makes it difficult and frustrating for people.

I know I've had a great idea it's just come to me let's move to a new stadium in Dewsbury!!
