Stan asked so here we go

Bump

I have voted for the 2nd option. However if the team's form suffers because they are not fielding the best possible team, then there will be less supporters going through the turnstiles and hence less resources available to develop the club.

I get the impression that you are hoping that Stan is wrong and you are always right. You sound a bit like someone I know. Who likes to control everything and everyone on this forum. But I'm sorry to have to tell you this is the people's forum.

You sound exactly like another poster on here who has a gripe with UTP.

The club should be carrying out both Q1 and 2, so therefore this poll is totally meaningless in its present format.

Yep, the usual shtick of offering two options on a complex issue, the third being that you have no opinion.

Even if it is reduced to two, pretty obviously any successful club will be balancing both.

Agree with the last 2 contributors

As do I
Meaningless exercise

With all respect to UTP, he'd already declared his position, and so he was never likely to invest time encapsulating all the possible permutations in a poll. I doubt anyone would, mind. Well, maybe there IS one .

Hi Jon I put the questions Stan asked for in the other thread in fact I copied and pasted them just like competition man

Fair enough, mate.

We have made no progress in 25 years on improving the physical infrastructure of the club. That is a stadium over which we have some control and proper training facilities.

It's not an either or equation. Of course we have to put a competitive team on the field. The question is do we need to remember also to develop the facilities off the pitch.

My view is we should. The conflict is between those who believe we can't afford to develop the infrastructure and those who believe we can't afford not to.

LG: The dream that died

When electronics firm LG announced in July 1996 that it was setting up a factory in Newport, it was hailed as the largest single inward investment ever seen in Europe.

The government was forced to deny that a grant to LG of £200 million - around £30,000 a job - was too generous.

The LG factory survived, but the promise of more than 6,000 jobs created was never realised.

You are correct.

I should have made it clear that it is not an either or question, of course my view is we need to do both. My view being we have the balance wrong. I sometimes forget that what is obvious to me may not be so obvious to others. Forgive my momentary lapse.
