I have covered many hundreds of thousands of miles over the past 72 years, many happy times, and a few not so happy, but the past 4 seasons the way our team has been set up, and the way it has been managed, has actually ended my interest in attending any longer, but with saying this, now being 81 years of age does not help a great deal. What has really hit me most is that the Chairman bull shitted our fans for many years, then when the fruits of his ownership saw our team exit the Fotball League, he just turned his back on the club, even as the owner, he could not be arsed to attend matches, he had earlier ran up a big debt of over £13 million pounds, and had the neck to transfer ownership of the stadium, car parks and training pitch land to his own company.
If he just took a look at himself and saw what hs ownership has done to the club, it’s supporters and the town in general, I am sure that he would hate himself, but we all know this is not his way, he has fallen out with council officers, contractors, the supporters, and at the same time blames Covid and our loyal fans, it is never his fault.
So sorry to say, but I shall not be goig any more, and our last home game against Hartlepool will be my last time that I shall set foot in GP, I was at the first League match in 1950 and hope to be at our last league game. I still have my Speedway to attend, and although I have Sky Sports, the 30 match iFollower Speedway Prem League season ticket and BT Sports, I do not watch too many football matches now, the diving and rolling about and continual back passing has spoiled it for me.
I hope that SUFC do get back into the football league, but I think it will take years if it ever does happen, and they will need a different squad of players to what they presently have.
