New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

Might accelerate those contract extension talks which were mooted as close at the end of last season then swapped to “not the highest priority”.

Should be trying to tie him and Wright down if they’re both expiring in 2026.

This group has been very quiet of late, and understandably so.

We start the new season in better shape than we have for years, on and off the pitch. Can the fanbase unite and rally around this momentum? I hope so.

Clem, it’s time to grow.

Ships sailed with this ownership, but the idea was always to back the team. 

I'm sure if we're even within a sniff of the play offs though the usual posts will come about gloating from people who lack the capacity to understand that though and think its cast iron proof Clems always been a great bloke.

Just like the "Power out mob are quiet tonight" posts you used to get on the fb groups after a win.

Despite the owner problems we have still sold 4,215 season tickets.

Support the team but not the regime.

I see MK Dongs have sold 4k season tickets. That's about 80% of their fanbase.

[Jimmy Quinn]

If we’re doing well at Xmas I reckon we’re take 4k on Boxing Day.

We are coming into the season off the back of one of our worst seasons in our history.  Yes, the second half was much better, but a season is 46 matches long for a reason.  We seem to have a decent enough lower league Manager who knows to keep it simple, so that is a positive, but any season at this level where we are not approaching it with a view to winning it is a worry still.  Underneath the Holloway impact, nothing about the club is set-up to sustain anything.

Certainly it's looking more positive than the last three seasons, but it better well be.  Hopefully we get ourselves into the promotion hunt - I can easily detach the ownership from a desire to see STFC winning.

Off the pitch?

How - I've genuinely missed any improvements. As far as I can see we've appointed bare minimum replacements and aren't even sure if we can sell our kits in the shop or have prodirect do it.

Just interested in your view as it's easy to get sucked into the doom cycle.

On the pitch it feels much better. Proof will be in the pudding but Ollie  seems to be getting everyone on the same page

Yeah the bar for off the pitch must be rooted to the centre of the earth for people to think its going well.

The Nationwide 'cladding' has been removed from the DRS. That Cheltenham/Swindon hybrid fan on twitter posted. It looks pretty bare.

That was ruined by those pesky orange hats who don't know when they have a good thing going with the true second coming of Christ who saved all us peasants who aren't worthy.

That guy really annoys and confuses me

He is a total bell end, I don't follow him or anything, but because of the algorithm some of his stuff pops up.

Let’s hope they do have a new sponsor or cover of some sort for the side of the stand - it does not look good.

It feels like 100% of the focus is on the pitch. Which isn't a bad thing as long as the pitch goes well. I think we'll have a decent season, but it does feel like if we don't, things could go south fast as there aren't a ton of foundations being built on here.

It's Holloway or the highway.

If I may doom cycle some more, if we did go up, it's hard to see how Clem funds a L1 budget, but hey, that's a nicer problem to have isn't it?
