The only things I got out of that was the club is taking over the EJ in the future. Which must be said has to be better than having the clowns at Northern running it
The other thing was this board of 5 made up of Ledman and his Football advisor, Gypo CEO a hunter based businessman and someone from Northern
Having someone from Northern involved scares the shit out of me more than the Gypo CEO
They cant run their own organisation well FFS
As for the rest of it just the usual hot air one would expect
Can't do anything about the catering - that's a stadium deal not involving the Jets.
As definitive an answer on the Jets shaped hats as you are going to get - if enough people want them, he will get them made. Start your grassroots movement Member
Couldn't listen - did he apologise?
Did you not hear of his love for Griff and his intent to have him on the Jets payroll?Quote:

Likes of Eland and Middleby seemed to be afraid to open up and just be up front, McKinna doesn't seem to be afraid to answer questions, like he said at the beginning of the interview "It's all part of the job of being CEO".
Most disappointing thing from the interview is that it seems we are destined to be playing the majority of our home games in the afternoon timeslot forever and a day now. The club can only request the timeslots but FFA and Fox will have the final say in kick off time scheduling. This sucks but the reality is that Fox pump huge $$$ into the game and so pick and choose the fixture scheduling.
What's the time difference with China? Can we insist we need Chinese friendly kick off times for our extended viewing audience? 5pm kick offs here are too early to start sinking tsingtaos Beijing time etc, we must be sensitive to their market too, etc...
Was interesting to hear what both McKinna and Miller had to say about the Chinese Development player. I thought McKinna stated the obvious which is that squaddies in China are worth a fortune and we are going to struggle to get any player to come here who is any good. Miller seems pretty peeved about the whole situation in how guarded his responses are. I wouldn't mind if the chinese player was signed as a marquee just so that there is actually some salary cap left for the striker.
Thats actually a damn good point. Although could backfire badly as I could see the FFA giving us 3am kickoff times to accommodate Chinese sponsors and TV.Quote:

If there is anyone who is interested in joining to podcast send a PM to Furns, me or Bodes. With the changing format of the pod this year, there's an opportunity for new voices.
If you have any questions, about technology needed etc, happy to answer them as well.
So it is twenty years behind too??Quote:
