@SAFCSpencer: “This is what we need. Stuff like this makes us look like a professional club. Last few years the way we did things was the way a typical L1 club was run. Let’s start showcasing our selves as the huge club that we are.”

@mackem49000: “Superb... and thank you... quality and professional performance already in evidence from new ownership... I’m excited for the future direction of our club.”

@aaronshowler1: “Little things like this that make fans happy, the poor quality of streams can ruin matches especially when we can’t be there in person.”

@Scrivener30: “Such a small change in the bigger picture, but just outlines the difference in the previous owners vs the ambition shown by KLD. We might be in League One, but the club shouldn’t be, so it’s nice to see us finally act like we’re pushing to be more.”
