Yeah I agree, and like I said down there, I think we could make more of being different

Effectively we are trying to give the middle finger to the absurd British football club model. I kind of like that, and think we could make more of it.

Not saying we should become the new St Pauli, but the vision / model needs to be more clearly articulated. They have made some ham fisted attempts at it (e.g. 'community owned' - no, its a benign dictatorship) and I think it would really help.
