New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

I think part of the problem is that if he started the hard sell for ST renewals he would (quite rightly) get a lot of negative responses. I think the hope was things would pick up after January and they could use that as a promise that things would get better, the fact that it is equally as bad (if not worse) has somewhat scuppered that plan.

I’ve heard a vague rumour that they are talking to potential new managers, so maybe that’s what they are hoping will encourage some to renew. Unless it’s a blow your socks off appointment (which it’s not going to be is it) then I think they are going to be very disappointed

Everything just reeks of an exit strategy doesnt it.

Was speaking to a couple of TEF'rs about this very thing last week.

I think (hope) we are getting to endgame.

It's far from good obviously,but for me the nadir of this season on the pitch was Wimbledon away. We've come close but I don't think any performance since has been actually worse than that. We absolutely showed nothing for even a single minute of that game

I think it started in the 90th minute at Accrington, 4-0 up and cruising and almost lost.

However the facts are we have 10 points in the last 11 games since Gav took charge, before that with a depleted squad we had 11 points in 11, so we can agree no real improvement.
The irony was we had a bit of the new coach bounce, but it has got increasingly shit under Gav for the last few games (second half at Mansfield being the exception).

But my son did have what he calls "the best ever burger" in the Argentinian place down from the tube station. So at least there was that!

Yeah, the Peri Chicken place just outside the ground was bloody good too!

I imagine it'll be 3000 season ticket next year regardless of who the manager is. Those like myself are disillusioned and won't renew, then people like my dad who will always go no matter not will renew. I think we have around 3000 in that latter bracket.

Definately this.

That would still be quite a statement from the fans though, a 4 figure drop off would be huge both in terms of club income and a vote of no confidence in the ownership.

I just look forward to the select group of self proclaimed ‘super fans’ criticising us all for not renewing saying we aren’t ‘true’ fans.

But what does it change?

The owners gut expenditure even further, the playing budget is slashed, we end up non league. Not great for anyone really is it. Doesn't make the club any more attractive to new owners either.

Its for everyone to make their own decision, but it doesn't force the owners to sell.

Well I’d argue any money people spend on the club isn’t going into the playing budget anyway as it’s clear it’s almost non existent. All paying money to the club is doing is subsidising one of Morfuni’s failing businesses. If he doesn’t have the income to cover costs then he’ll have to sell or put the club in admin eventually so it will force the issue. I’d rather it’s sorted one way or another now rather than a slow painful demise.

Previously you said we should all still attend matches and protest during them? I couldn’t think of anything of a more ridiculous idea, so we all stump up £400 again for a season ticket again just to allow us to protest during games? I’m not going to give money to an ownership I despise and the owners aren’t going to give a shit about protests if people are effectively paying them to for the privilege of protesting.

Doing something doesn't always drive change for the good.

God I hope so. And not just to Chris Kielys wife, Michael Standings dog walker, Zav Austins laundry assistant or Adam Harts drug smuggler.

Already seen it. Already had 'loyal' jibes on here even for saying I'm done with the club until the crooks go.
