The Spirit of '69 and our Day of Action

[Bob1978]

Hoping a few of the fans that have decided to stay away are swallowing their pride, (myself included)
If a few more of the fans that decided to stay away start attending and try to bring a friend or encourage another stay awayer to come back.

We are in a terrible state at the moment, really need the fans to back team and help get us out of this.

Personally think it will go the other way - I have a season ticket but do I want to do a 2.5 hr round trip and give up my Saturday afternoon. Not really.

Completely understand that. When the fun stops, stop.

I think there was reason to get behind Clem for the first year. He brought in Chorley, Garner and a pretty decent experienced squad with some exciting young players. I forgave some of the early red flags.

It was after that it all fell apart for me. The appointments of Sandro and Lindsey (I know he's done well since, but taking a month to appoint the assistant and claim he was your number 1 choice?!) and then everything escalated.

I've been boycotting since the start of last season (I have been to a few games with free tickets) but I will go to the Grimsby game.

Fun stopped some time ago Mate.
Only feels like yesterday when we bumped into each other at Wrexham.
Both of us complaining about getting sunburnt. 4-1 up at halftime.
That precise moment in time was a special time.

Now here we are, no hope and it’s no fun.
Only knows where the Club and myself go from here. 120 mile round home trips feel longer.

I will be on the train Saturday and will be protesting on the 21st with my lad who is back home then.

So wound up and angry.

I was so looking forward to going to the games again after living out of the country for a few years.

It’s taken 18 months for me not to give a shit anymore. 56 years of supporting the club, come what may, and it’s come to this.

Tbh, for me, it’s worse than the team doing so badly. Ned Kelly and his bunch of loathsome spotted reptiles have achieved something I didn’t think was possible - not giving a shit.

Bastards.

You're not wrong.

Its unravelling at such a pace now. We've been through shit times. But this feels different.

Good morning all.
I cannot make the 21st but I have been bought a ticket for Saturday which I have decided not to decline. I hope to be in a sea of orange unlike last season.  :)I
Well done to the organisers for getting a protest up and running. I think it may be too late to force change before we drop. But, i'm in it for the long haul. Let's get rid of these imposters and move towards happier times!
The worry is that Clem sells (assuming he actually owns any of it) to a mirror-image of himself and the decline continues. The club dies if we don't at least try to resuscitate it, so I raise a glass in hope to our future success.

Orange hats ready for the weekend, and will be down for the 21st.

As depressing as this all is and I feel exactly the same......but the comeback from this will be epic. Appreciate I went on a massive rant just yesterday and it'll be tough getting back in the league if we go down which we almost certainly will, but our false dawn under Clem shows the potential of the place.

We will get our club back eventually and when we do, I'm here for it. Season ticket, home and away shirts, just take my money whatever league we're in.

[Boydy]

I wish I had your level of optimism.

We go down & I don't think I'll ever see Swindon Town in the football league again in my life time.

[Steak supper]

If we go down, I doubt that we will claw our way back up.

The thing that we have in our favour compared to other league clubs that have gone down and stayed down is the fan base, attendances and potential. I know that it isn't a given but it makes it more attractive for a rise of the phoenix scenario. Clubs like Chester, Bury, Scunthorpe, Hereford etc isn't comparable in that sense. hopefully...

I had Oldham in my list and then took a look and they are a bit weird, league 2 average attendance floated around low 4000. their conference average attendance is now around 6500.

If Clem's still the owner i cant see our attendances in the National League being above 4k. If we have a new owner by then that has invested and things are looking bright we might be able to hit 7k

[Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG]

Grimsby went down and came back up and their attendance is like 5k or something. No disrespect to clubs like Bury but we're a different animal.

This is all based around getting a decent owner in of course. The issue with The National League is only two go up,  so it wouldn't be a given. But I absolutely expect with a decent owner we would be at the right end of the table and competing.

But go down and stick with Clem and the crooks and we could genuinely go down again.

make no mistake the optimism in my post was only dependant on clem being ousted
