Unfortunately that's seriously down on membership numbers before covid hit. Weren't we targeting 900 members at one point? in need of a serious revamp as I'm afraid it has become nothing more than a donation. Bring back subsidized coach travel for a start.

Re: RESULT NOW IN! [ KIT OPTIONS ] 2022-2024 seasons.
Whilst covid is still a major threat it is not condusive to large groups travelling together In a coach. We don't want players contracting virus then games being cancelled. For the past 2 years the players have travelled Independently, maybe 2 or 3 in a car. Hopefully by August things can return to 'normal' and once again fans travelling with players will be OK. If as you say membership has fallen away we certainly do need a big push to restore it to previous numbers and as I have repeatedly stressed we need to increase the lottery membership. We still face some very difficult times financially whether we are in Step 3 or 2 next season, but pulling together we can come through it.

I must have imagined the team bus outside the Redditch ground and then later on outside Redditch Sainsburys the other week then.sussexdiamond wrote: Tue Apr 05, 2022 1:45 pm For the past 2 years the players have travelled Independently, maybe 2 or 3 in a car.
There is no reason for fans not to be allowed back on the team coach from now to be honest.
It's a perk of being a member getting discounted coach travel to away games and with vital away games coming up surely we want as many fans at games as possible.

The 1st point, Burge does say in the podcast that he has made changes, i assume that the team travelling together may be one of them to boost togethernessDowlo wrote: Tue Apr 05, 2022 3:35 pmI must have imagined the team bus outside the Redditch ground and then later on outside Redditch Sainsburys the other week then.sussexdiamond wrote: Tue Apr 05, 2022 1:45 pm For the past 2 years the players have travelled Independently, maybe 2 or 3 in a car.

The 2nd point, Covid has not gone away and the latest variant is far more contagious if not as Deadly as previous Variants, so i assume having fans onboard the bus may seem a risk to far as the players should be getting tested prior training/travelling to games whilst the fans are not, be a bit of a mess that a fan comes on board with Covid and a few days later the whole team goes sick, not very clever.
Maybe next season things will change who knows
Anyway we have gone a bit off topic, so back to the original thread, me i dont like the kits chosen

Something like this is always likely to polarise opinion. Personally I really like both of the new kits.Ricky330 wrote: Tue Apr 05, 2022 4:13 pm Me too. Don't like the kits. Poor design IMO could have had a design competition for more engagement
