Well that statement takes us back to the first five years of Mr Swanns ownership of SUFC, he is now saying that the club actually need supporters whereas he has ignored this during the past three years at a time when what has been presented on the pitch is not whatchable, and to want fans to turn out and receive their weekly punishment of 90 mins at GP is a none starter (80 mins in my case).
After attending when ever possible since 1951 on joining the football league, I would never have thought it possible for myself to say “I am no longer going to attend”, I appreciate that you have heard it many times from me, but supporting SUFC in the present days just ruins your weekend, and there is nothing to look forward to the following weekend simply because with Cox in charge, and the substandard squad he has assembled, THEY ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE IN lEAGUE 2.
So the truth is Mr Swann, gates are not going to improve, and with winter nearing, I can see gates being 1,500 plus any away fans, it’s simple fans need a little bit of entertainment at games, they do not want to see their team set up defensivly, they do not want to see their team have one shot on target during 90 mins, they do not wish to see their team with one up front and 5-4 in defence, and finally Scunny fans do not want to see their team win ONE GAME OUT OF THE LAST TWENTY FOUR MATCHES. So you have had your say in your statement Mr Swann, and now I have had my say as a supporter of the club for 71 years, the answer to the clubs problems cannot be changed by myself or any other supporter, but only yourself can change things by acting now, if it means getting rid of the very nice local coaching staff, or recruiting UTI99 onto your board for his advice, then do it, because lost supporters are not going to return to watch the PRESENT rubbish that is being served up now at GP.
