Trying to think of any clubs where fans have successfully boycotted games or left early on mass in protest about ownership but hit a blank.
Luton in the early 2000's ring a bell. Documentary on the BBC (available on YouTube) about it too. Believe Power was involved in that consortium too. |

I didn't say that, but anyone outside of this circle of chancers would be an improvement at the moment.
Its like voting Labour in the hope they won't end up being as big of cunts as tories. Like they're politicians and they probably will end up being cunts as well, but you probably want to take your chances with anyone but the current mob.
I’m politically homeless The Tories are bad, but promise me Labour are worse- have lived through several Labour governments and every one been beyond terrible. |

I don’t get this we are not an attractive proposition
1) We now own the ground
2) big gates for this division
3) history
4) potential within our catchment area
Problem is at the moment is the chancers and hangers on. We are told that we spend out £8.2m a year with over £2m in admin expenses- what does the admin expenses consist of exactly?
Looking at Exeters accounts on lower gates than us even fan owned in the short term we would be better off

Yeah same. I wouldn't vote for Labour either but it was the best analogy I could think of. I don't have to vote, but I do have to give a shit who owns us, unfortunately. |

Swindon attendances are an oddity really. Our highest league finish in my time was 89/90. I've just had a look at the attendances and we only got over 10k at home when there was massive away support - Wolves, Oxford, Portsmouth, Sheffield Utd & Newcastle. Even if we got a team to those heady heights again, what level of support could we get?

Robert....
Very right what you are saying.
Trouble is it's probably gone to far down the track for this to happen.
In truth we don't even know who the club is owned by any longer. All we do know is the shareholding and shareholders and 1 x Director.
The side agreements are not shown and therefore not visible.
We then wonder why no good person wants to buy into this shit situation.

I heard, and is probably bull shit, that Austin is on circa £10k a week. Now that is poor business if true.

That would mean more than 1/4 of the overall budget going on one player. No chance. |

For that much, he can start knocking down Stratton bank in his spare time and put the vacuum cleaner around the place. |
