When is the state of the stadium and surrounds going to be sorted?
Specifically, the amount of bird muck in the stadium, on seats and in concourses, and the overgrown weeds and grass in the fanzone. Both are easily rectifiable.
Thank you

What are the latest plans to continue to increase our revenue streams?
Of the current initiatives, what are working well/not so well?

A couple of questions on the non playing side.
Two years ago Smithys was relaunched, there was talk of working with the fans to create something that was used for more than a couple of hours on matchday but nothing has happened. I appreciate that this was before Liam joined us but are there any plans to increase income from it?
Similarly, what is the position with the restaurant? It appears to be open a handful of times a year. If i wanted to book up for a meal/Sunday lunch, I have no idea when it's open, what the menu is, etc. Can this be improved?

Will the TV money compensate for any loss on attendance figures (& buffet etc takings)? ie Exeter on a Thursday night rather than Saturday afternoon |

Any update on the possibility of handrails all the way down at the end of each block particularly the end of blocks one and two where elderly people tend to sit or are the club going to wait for an accident happen first?

What is the remit of the Director of Football role at Shrewsbury Town, and where does it differ from a chief scout?

It would be great, though, to be there in person without having to make a 40 mile round trip. As you are virtually on the doorstep I can appreciate the inconvenience of you having to travel any distance if it was elsewhere. Anyway, I second the question about the bird s**t which has even eaten away the number on my seat!!! |

Regarding the pigeon muck I spoke to someone ITK and they reckon part of the problem is that the club feed the pigeons and they sometimes feed the sparrows too. Apparently it gives them a sense of enormous wellbeing.
Would be good to find out if there is any truth to this given the problems it’s causing.

Is there any truth to the rumour that the consortium that purchased Burton were interested and in talks to purchase Town? And if so, what was the reason the takeover (or investment from that group) did not happen. Also, where are we on possible new owners and/or new investment?
Also, is this also available online to join and watch?

This is a professional football club here, you should know it's not Parklife. 👍 |

Any chance of holding these meetings in other parts of the county? I think that’s something the Official Supporters Club should do and try and establish local supporters clubs in places like Ludlow Telford etc…… There used to be various clubs who met regularly which would build up support and try and fill coaches . |

Would be good to find out if there is any truth to this given the problems it’s causing. it would be a great idea by the club to create a joint charter with the fans , the club keep the ground clean and the fans take their rubbish with them , It's happened elsewhere overseas , no reason we can't be the forerunners over here |

The rubbish left behind by us is frankly quite shocking. From my volunteering experience it appeared to be mainly kids (based upon the type of drinks and sweet wrappers). Maybe the club can start an initiative to encourage kids to slam-dunk their rubbish into a big Wrexham-shaped skip lol.

Was is possible to join it live online? Didn't get an answer here (which is fair enough, mind) but can't find anything on the official Town site.

The online ones are for bouncing ideas off supporters via originally a Supporters Panel about specific agendas set by the club like ST pricing and the Open Day. Last one advertised and open to all. |

The OSC Twitter feed were putting up a few updates, but quite short so difficult to read too much into them and will let other people/the minutes add more to it. But a couple of things that have been mentioned here, they are looking to clean the stands, the cost of handrails has gone up a lot, the club is waiting for parts for the scoreboard and the club is actively looking for investment & want to sell to the right people.
My points (Smithys and the Restaurant) were mentioned so thank you to whoever raised them. I appreciate these are one liners on Twitter but on face value they were a bit depressing and show the club's lack of business acumen. With Smithys nothing is happening and Liam is asking for ideas from the fans, it just seems so reactive as in 'give us some ideas and we will look into it', surely the club should be pushing this themselves and then working with fans?
On the restaurant the club said they advertised Sunday lunch but only had 6 bookings. As mentioned on the restaurant thread, the club need to think about their approach to attracting people. If you open a few times a year and then put up a post on the website stating "we will be open in a months time' with no indication of the food available, don't be surprised if people don't rush to come.
If what was posted on Twitter wasn't really a reflection of what Liam said then I'll be happy to delete my comments

The restaurant...the club need to throw themselves at it if they want it to work. Advertise everywhere, put on offers, get the punters in. If they are half-assed, they have to expect a half-assed attendance 🤷♂️
