Latest SCG meeting II

Last updated : 17 April 2007 By Covsupport/SB

On the subject of a clock within the stadium bowl, Ken advised that Puma Time are looking at potential sitings inside the Arena.

The group, especially those who are Premier club members, were asked for their views on the dress code within the corporate areas and whether these should be relaxed to a certain extent or not. Differing views were presented and the club will continue to review this option.

On the topic of the proposed sports bar in the Jewson stand unfortunately there's not been much progress on this since the last meeting, although it is a facility the club want to explore and implement. There are discussions between the club and potential sponsors of the sports bar, but equally the Manhattan consortium are aware of this idea and could well have their own ideas of what it is called, and what memorabilia might be installed inside the bar.

On the subject of the Manhattan group, because of the due diligence process that is well underway at this time, quite understandably no real updates could be provided on how the process was going.

In response to a question on the limited edition shirt box set auction, Mark Davies advised that this had been successful with the number 87 box set going for over £1,100, and the auction itself raised in excess of an additional £3,000 for the fund, of which all the proceeds go to the 87 cup team. At present over a third of the box sets have been sold with enquiries still coming in.

This led to a question of a similar exercise for the 67 team, who were introduced to the crowd, at Saturdays match. Various ideas were put forward which the club will be looking into.

Although nothing is confirmed at all, but in response to queries about the club having a brown third kit, they are exploring the feasibility of maybe having a limited edition run of a special brown shirt. This is very early stage and may not get off the ground but feedback on this idea would be welcomed.

That's about it, listening to how excited the 67 guys were in the tunnel before they were introduced to the crowd, and how the banter, togetherness and respect all came flooding back between them all was a joy to hear.

The first meeting of the close season is marked down for Monday May 14th, so any questions or suggestions or issues, please do get them to the webmasters who will be only too happy to have these raised at this meeting.
