Mansfield Town, 11th August 2007
Welcome back to Griffin Park for a brand new season. There have been a few comings and goings both on and off the pitch since the last game of the season and I’m sure you’ll join me in welcoming all those new faces at the Club.
The stadium has also completed its transformation, which sees the new home end open for its first competitive game today. I for one will be there to enjoy the atmosphere and hopefully three points!
In my role as Supporter Director it is essential I represent your views on the Club Board and also deal with any questions you may have concerning the Club. For that reason every month during the season I hold a surgery prior to home games at the Princess Royal pub so that I can meet you.
Since I have been running my monthly matchday surgeries I have met on average seven supporters at each surgery. In a bid to meet more of you I have decided for the forthcoming season to hold every other surgery in the Princess Royal. For the remainder I will be holding them in different parts of the ground.
My first surgery of the season will be prior to the next home League game with Barnet in the Princess Royal. The full list of dates and locations of my surgeries are as follows:
| Date | Match | Location |
| 2007 | ||
| 25 August | Barnet | Princess Royal |
| 29 September | Stockport County | Braemar Road Forecourt |
| 27 October | Lincoln City | Princess Royal |
| 17 November | Darlington | Ealing Road Stand |
| 29 December | Chester City | Princess Royal |
| 2008 | ||
| 26 January | Bury | New Road Stand |
| 16 February | Accrington Stanley | Princess Royal |
| 29 March | Rochdale | Braemar Road Forecourt |
| 26 April | Hereford United | Princess Royal |
The surgeries will be held between 1.15 – 2.15 pm and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible to discuss anything that is on your mind concerning the Club.
Let’s all get behind the lads today, giving them a special welcome from the new end, and do our bit to help the team to our first win of the new season.
Let’s work together!
Jon Gosling
