Swindon Town vs Colchester Utd FA cup 1st round MDT

[Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG]

People might be underestimating how much of a buzz would come back if the crooks cleared off. Clem was a false dawn initially that showed just how much of an impact it could have.

He's promptly chased off about 4,000 people since.

I think some people are just tired of all the shit though. Clem's reign also coincided with the end of lockdown. Perfect combination for a healthy number of bums on seats. I don't think a new owner would have the same effect personally. If it came with a big name manager and some high profile signings... then maybe.

But I'm just tired of it now. Tired of being shit. It's not just Clem, it's years of mismanagement.

Impossible to disagree on that.

Well yeah its not just clem its the Jed/Power/Clem myriad of chancers featuring Zav, Hart, etc.

It can't be a new owner if its Kiely or the next wideboy chancer cunt in the queue. It has to be a proper fresh start.

The only crumb of comfort is that I've been here before and got through it. Luke Williams nearly sucked the life out of my enjoyment, but a season like the one leading into COVID - the ginger Pele season - really rekindled it.

Its possibly to get the feeling back.

Just maybe not under this ownership.

[Bob1978]

When have we ever had good ownership? Andrew Black maybe but the money was frittered away by Jeremy Wray. In my eyes the Jed Mcrory era was the worst in terms of ownership - that really was the pits. Only history will tell how this era ends up.

[Bob1978]

The difference between past crap ownership and current crap ownership is social media, podcasts etc so every ‘misstep’ is turned into a meme etc. plenty of material for that with the current bunch but they I think as well as kicking them up the bum they need support to get things right, because they aren’t going anywhere soon. I think that’s the trusts strategy

[Batch]

You're going to wait and see how it goes? Really?

Name one previous crap owner that has shown the traits of taking us to non league

[Bob1978]

Well most of them, it’s been a decline since our premier league days. It hasn’t just happened under Morfuni had it? We’ve been sleep walking into this position for the last 30 years. Hopefully it gives everyone a kick up the bum, owners, supporters, everyone.

[Batch]

No. We've never been been consistently so shit that we have to worry about the EFL future.

I'm not saying we haven't been badly managed over time.  I am saying 4 years of Clem, crooks and shite decisions have lead us here.

But regardless, the biggest thing is there is absolutely no indication of change. No plan.

[Bob1978]

You're going to wait and see how it goes? Really?

Well this is how it will go: 1) we go into non league we go bust and another chancer takes over or 2) we have a mini revival push into league 1 and the ownership hopefully sell up to a less crap owner with deeper pockets.

[Batch]

Yes, true.

Third option is to Rochdale for another decade(before their fall). But I suspect Clem and co will run out of money long before.

Though we'll need some debt restructuring from him if he wants the club sold

This is me too.

Killed the buzz in me.

I am selling up soon and i am decorating the whole house (trade Magnolia over trade Magnolia), so i reckon i might give it a miss. Maybe the radio or maybe on the Telly.

I hope we progress (that would be nice) and i hope that Holloway uses the two free Cup hits to get his shit together for Franchise away...thats the Be all and End all this season...League points.

Understand how you feel, we are exactly the same plus a 280 mile round trip for a home game meant that we did not renew our season tickets, the fact that we didn't receive any communication from the club regarding renewals did not help or the fact that my communication to the club regarding the possibility of purchasing a season long car park pass as I can no longer walk very far did not even elicit a acknowledgment let alone a reply.  Over 65 years support from me and 35 years from my son sailing down the river

And you are by no means alone in feeling that way mate. I hear of similar stories every week.
