Fair point but comparing us to Luton and the scum doesn't make a lot of sense to me - Luton wre crippled by debts and the scum...well, they're the scum
I think the 25 point deduction may also have played some part in Luton's case |

I know things are pretty bad right now. But if we do go down I really don't see how we'll be at the wrong end of L2.
Me neither. In fact I can see plenty of changes in the summer if it happens and a fresh and positive atmosphere around the place just like we had in the summer of 2006. Oh and a couple of big derby games to look forward to. |

There's plenty of Scummers, who've noticed that L2 next season mighty be quite a tasty league, and aren't too despondent about being in it. Think of the Paul's I'd rather have Trollope than Hart at the helm. |

Hart is a firefighter. We need someone with a bit of creativity.
The board effectively only gave Hart 1 game to keep us up. Behind the game again.

If when we go down hart will still get the job, if he wants it, as fitton and hart have said he is a builder someone who wants to make his own team, and has agood eye for young talent, as most builders do  |

If we go down, we'll lose some decent players. Dougie being one of them. I can't see a feel good factor at all. It would be better if we were to stay up, get rid of the useless players but add decent players to the decent players we've already got. A bit like two years ago. Going down would be a massive, massive step back. |

His job isn't to score goals. He gets through a hell of a lot of work in games. He's been crucial to us. |

Just goes to show that football is a team game. He still does his job. But you cant expect him to turn into Steven Gerrard just because our strikers post Austin have been nowhere near up to it? |

Bringing the thread back to 'Fitton & Co', I think the relationship between the fans and the board is likely to go through a bit of a change if we go down. Everyone, I think, pretty much accepts that the current board pulled the club out of the mire in 2007...so much so that fans have cut the board a lot more slack than is normal when decisions have been poor (the Malpas appointment being a good example). And rightly so.
What worries me, though, is that a lot of the love could be lost if relegation happens...because most of us will see it as having been completely avoidable. Yes, the board got the back office running efficiently again - but that's not what the fans come along to see on a Saturday. If we go down, you will not be able to escape the uncomfortable truth that after 3½ years of Fitton & Co at the helm, we will be playing our football at a lower level than when they took over.
If we do go down, we are going to need boardroom stability more than ever. And for this reason, I hope that the criticisms levelled at the board are measured, and don't become personal...because if they do, it could split our fanbase right down the middle and alienate the staff working behind the scenes. Hope it doesn't happen, but it does worry me.

I honestly think, the fans who understand football will, although be disappointed in how this season has come to this, will ultimately acknowledge that the club is being run properly. Everyone has made mistakes this season including Fitton, Wilson and the players. Your right, it's crucial that the fans find a way to move on if we do get relegated. |

There will be some delayed reaction when the dullards catch up.
Hopefully the board will react themselves and get things right for next season.
