Posted by a Scarborough fan on the BBC site. Sounds scarily familiar :
Whilst it is encouraging the tenderness that other fans can show towards our plight, the view from inside is altogether different. Almost all the fans have long since become disillusioned with such a poorly run club, that only a few misty-eyed will be crying into their beer tonight. Scarborough's business community has long since given up, tired of been shafted by questionable owners. We, 'chased the dream', before Ridsdale coined the phrase and have paid the ultimate price, the lesson for you all is clearly, don't do the same. Don't let the club fall into sole ownership. Don't pay players too much on long contracts. Finally, and especially, all fans of those clubs mentioned above, should demand boardroom representation - afterall, it's your season ticket money that keeps the club going during the summer, shouldn't this financial investment be backed with a seat on the board? The sword has been hanging over us for years, today it fell. Learn the lessons from it, and you'll be fine, this especially goes to Daggers fans. If you get cock sure and hubristic - 'oh, it can't happen to us', it can, it really can. Get boardroom representation now. It should be a football law.
