1.) New proactive, engaging, honest, open and ambitious BOD, who communicate clear targets and objectives / A clear out of all the "old wood" gentleman's club.
2.) A competitive budget which allows for the manager to build a competitive / settled squad and obtain all that he requires to be successful.
3.) The BOD to judge the manager on results and performances and make the decisions needed in the best interests of the club.
4.) To see progress being made off the field with regards to generating revenue - Sponsorship - Clubhouse - 3G
5.) The BoD to explain the structure of the club (Youth teams / Academy)
6.) The pitch to be sorted.
7.) Play-Offs a minimum expectation.
8.) A "feel good" factor.

I don’t think your get more from the board then your already getting yogi, lee puts bits out as and when he has news to do so. The clubhouse and sponsorship we’ve been told they are working on but as stated on a few occasions the 3G has a debt to pay off before that brings in money. What do you want to know about the structure of the youth? Why is play off minimum expectations, we’ve had 2 years at this level, survived last day of first year and now relegated so why do we expect to be play offs?? |

I think your question was "what are peoples expections"?
I have answered your question yet you still wish to question my points.
If you don't like the answers then don't ask the question.
Are you going to argue every post in this thread or are you going to let people voice their own opinions.
However on this occasion and for your benefit I will explain my thinking..
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I don’t think your get more from the board then your already getting yogi, lee puts bits out as and when he has news to do so.
* This must continue and cannot drop off, regular communication from the BoD to the supporters is the only way to engage and encourage trust.
The clubhouse and sponsorship we’ve been told they are working on but as stated on a few occasions the 3G has a debt to pay off before that brings in money.
* Actions speak louder than words! When supporters see real evidence that this is happening over a prolonged period they will start to believe, the better managed the 3G is the sooner the debt will be paid off and the facility can start generating revenue for the club.
What do you want to know about the structure of the youth?
* How is the youth structure and the academy financed? does it generate any revenue for the club? where does this money get reinvested? Is the youth section and academy a financial drain on the club? does the BoD actually believe in the player pathway? What is the objective of the youth set up and academy?
Why is play off minimum expectations, we’ve had 2 years at this level, survived last day of first year and now relegated so why do we expect to be play offs??
* If you don't have a minimum expectation what is there to work towards, with an increased budget and a revamp of the playing staff anything less than a play off place should be considered a failure.

1 Has to be good entertaining football from Wimborne….
2.Playing budget that allows the Manager and his team to bring together a competitive squad.
3 A financially stable Club, that re-builds itself to a level in the sport that both the BOD are happy with (get a return on their investment)… and the paying supporters
4 Finish in the top half of the league in year one and promotion year two…(don’t get me wrong I want us to win every game- but there is reality out there)….
5 And fans to realise that in sport anything can happen, not everything is black or white (I know except the shirts🤣), and there are grey areas - which we have to accept..
6 Now for the contentious one - get off people backs, the BOD have made their decision and support James and his team.. now let them do their job…
And thanks to the old BOD for getting our new facility this far… we’re there errors in some of their decisions - maybe, was the playing budget for this season too low - possibly and the important one… is WTFC in a better place ‘overall’ - surely yes…
But now with an increased playing budget this could and I guess should be the missing piece of the jigsaw… and I for one support James and his team to get this right next season and as far as rating his performance with league positioning… that’s for the BOD… But everyone has an opinion.

Many here have critised the old board and blamed them for a lot of the issues we currently have. In the future the new board should be held accountable in the same way and while there has been improvements in some aspects, these must contine otherwise they should be held accountable and subject to scrutiny in the same way the old board are or have been. I know it will be an unpopular opinion, but I feel genuinely feel despite their investment the new baord must also carry part of the responsibility for relegation. With regard to next season, I'm not sure if you are joking, but if the minimum objective isn't the playoffs what actually is the point? We have been relegated and every relegated teams bar in exceptional circumstances is to go back up. Not to mention from the information you have provided we will have a budget competitive with those around us, a manager who is not only is a draw for players, but whos ability is on par with any other manager or coach at our current level. Not sure why taking all of that into account would make mid table mediocrity acceptable. |

I’m sure the board will have their own idea of what’s a acceptable league position next season and hopefully they inform us of that in the summer |

No they take there share in part of the blame because under their watch and amid much fanfare we have been relegated and are going to finish as one of the worst teams in southern premier league recent history. The changing of the manager is a moot point. To some it wouldn't have made a difference, to some it most definately would have. However the outcome of their course of action is relegation so yes they should bear part of the blame.
However for the record if Mr Merrifield and his colleagues simply provided funds and had no input over the running of the club then I very much stand corrected and apologise.
Totally agree though that some idea of next years plans and objectives would helpful for everyone. We aren't like a Poole or Salisbury who's reality is to always been challenging for promotion, we seem caught between being little old wimborne and the new facility creating new expectation. However as I said previously, given all the facts of the situation anything other than ambition to go back up would be disappointing.

This is where I’ve struggled with a few comments on this forum, because we have a nice new ground all of a sudden the fans expect us to be doing better than we have in the past, yes we have the facilities now but underneath all that we are still little old Wimborne and not enough has changed behind the scenes, yes the new board has come in but how much time and they give during working hours to improve that surely with the business they run we have to accept things are going to take a while to implement and not happen over the course of 3/4 months. |

Expectations: 1) win more games than we lose.
2) sort out pitch.
3) if it's not working a dozen games in, review management and coaching positions.
Hopes:
# Sort out the social media side. There was no Twitter feed on Tuesday which is unbelievable for a step 3 club. Look at Hamworthy and Downton as examples of good Twitter involvement.
# Club to mend bridges with the likes of Luke and his band of noisy fans.
# Linked to the above, some atmosphere at home games.
# Sort out the parking and stop charging!
# Reduce entry fee to £10 for non concessions.
# More acceptance of differing opinions on this site!!
Overall it's got to be enjoyable attending games again !

Overall it's got to be enjoyable attending games again ! Well put bazza , the atmosphere has been non existent this season. Without Luke and his mates, the tannoy system and the music hasn’t been very good this season either and it’s just dead in the ground. Not sure who decided ticket prices the league or the club?? Charging for parking, some clubs do and others don’t but we don’t have as much parking as previous so maybes it’s done to hopefully reduce cars and people sharing |

I do find the talk about the atmosphere at the games interesting. We have had 300 plus people at the majority of home games this season yet a lot on here talk about needing Luke back to create atmosphere. Does it really take 1 person to create the atmosphere? Surely if you want an atmosphere start making the atmosphere yourself instead of saying there isn’t any.
There have been many games when the atmosphere has been good. A lot of the youngsters have been getting into it and banging the hoardings and stands etc. I have a lot of time for Luke and used to drive him to games before he moved on. He was never banned from games (his Twitter was blocked) and therefore it was his choice not to come to games. I have previously said on here he will probably return but at the moment he is happy where he is. Disappointingly he has found some delight in our demise it would seem by some of his latest tweets.
All fans make an atmosphere so rather than bemoan the situation a change is in your hands (or we can just sit quietly on the sideline moaning about the lack of atmosphere)
We are down, but I will be there supporting on Saturday, away at Swindon, home v Poole and finally away at Chesham. I’m sure myself and others will do our best for atmosphere but any help will be appreciated I’m sure by all including the players!

You're either a supporter of WTFC or you're not. It's been a tough season for club, management, players and supporters but lets remember either you want to support or you dont. We need those that do and without supporters there is no team! Good luck Magpies and all associated with them. |

All good points, it wasn't just Luke but when he left it seemed his group of a dozen who did all the singing left too. Did he have to get banned from twitter? Seemed ott given what I season some club pages from fans. But I agree the posts from the so called wimborne massive are disappointingly gleeful. I wish he'd stop using that account as it makes it look like all wimborne fans are negative. So let him stay at Blandford united. I'm one of the newer returnees to non league football after a long spell away when my kids grew up. I've met Mark and he is introducing me gradually to various people at the club! I hope to be at chesham and more away games next year after a season of ground hopping this year and look forward to saying hello, richard. |
