Swindon Town v Mansfield Town Match Day Thread

[Mooneyraker]

Yup. I currently have zero goodwill towards the club. I'm only going for non-footballing reasons, the routine with family and friends, and frankly dread it. The football has been garbage at home for years bar the brief Wellens blip. And yet still I go... Maybe I'm part of the problem?!

This is where I feel the club are going to get a bit of a wake-up call. I’ve had the same seat in the DRS since it opened in 94. I’ve always renewed out of ‘duty’ but now unless something changes I just don’t feel that ‘duty’ for next season and won’t bother and I get the feeling many are in the same boat.

This season we’ve completely lost the feeling of being a football club who’s aim is to try and be successful on the pitch.

This is where Clem&Co are going to get a rude awakening. Doubled up with the cost of living, I've seen more and more people on social media who have either already decided against renewing, or seriously considering. And some of these are people who have been going for years and years. It would be interesting to see the comparison of Season ticket renewals now vs last season to just see how much of a malaise there is. When is the next AB, perhaps the question could be asked?

I'm also not convinced the club is doing enough to market itself, especially to the very loyal fan who can't be arsed anymore. If the club can't be seen to be bothered, why should the supporters? I know this season is mathematically not done and dusted yet, and perhaps they are waiting until that time, but I'd like to see the club going above and beyond to try and inject the belief back, I did suggest getting Charlie Austin tied down on another year's deal and use him as a rallying call. Sadly, the way the season has ended, i'm not convinced his heart will be in it either.

I suspect its going to be a rude awakening for everyone, if ST revenue crashes which looks like it invariably will, unless Clem puts in more cash (does he have more to put in) then unless we get savvy/lucky in squad assembly, with a lower playing budget, its just going to potentially spiral down.

[Peter Venkman]

oh, it'll be 3am.. you're ok with that, right .

It feels like the club needs a rude awakening currently as they seem to be taking the loyalty of supporters for granted.

[Batch]

it does.

but not at the expense of going non league, which we may never return from.

that said, I don't blame anyone for not renewing

Of course not but ultimately you take people for granted at your peril. The club needs reminding that first and foremost we are a football club and results on the pitch should be the primary focus of the club.

What about this Transfer Loan that was mooted a couple weeks ago?

Also, what’s happened to that Ryan fella and his stuff coming out from the club that’d keep him busy for weeks?

Assume that's ongoing.

Someone on here said its like a cheap way to get cash you already have coming guaranteed, cheaper way than credit (as if)/overdraft.

Which is fine. And we will always be on the bubble financially - but I can't see needing to do this as a positive in any way.

Also, what’s happened to that Ryan fella and his stuff coming out from the club that’d keep him busy for weeks?

Indeed.

I’ve never missed a home game in seasons that I’ve been a ST holder. I’m seriously considering doing anything else but attend the CG on Friday. I just don’t enjoy it.
