Away Supporters’ Initiative – There is a debate ongoing in the offices about what to do with the £200k set aside by the PL for away supporters. Some of the money has been spent on Arsenal away. There is money still to be spent and JM accepted that this should have been sorted long ago. No specific or general figures could be given. It was pointed out that the FWG has agreed unanimously on more than one occasion to spend this money on subsidising tickets rather than travel but some unspecified people at the club are against this idea and prefer it to be spent on travel or even on improving the experience for away fans at the KC, rather than on our owns fans. It was asked by more than one person on what basis anyone can be against subsidising tickets, and specifically how subsidised travel can be a better option. JM wasn’t able to answer this, but agreed to provide an update by the end of the week.

We ran out of time so I've sent the last couple of questions to JM via e-mail afterwards:
PA System – I put to him the points raised on here about it being poor in some areas.
Ballboys - I mentioned the recent home game (QPR?) where a few of us felt they were very slow getting the ball back in when the team needed a goal and asked if they are briefed to get it back as quickly as possible when the team need it.
Once I get a response on those last two I’ll post them.
