With all due respect, you are not going to get an overly positive feedback on here if you make sly digs at the fans for bickering. And it’s only the internet. Look at our recent games, especially away, and we seem quite united in backing the team. We have taken 3000 fans in total to two, admittedly localish, games this past week despite being rubbish and having 2 away wins in 2 years or so. Opposition praised our fans for the support and atmosphere. While on here and twitter it’s fraught, it is less so at the game.
What do you expect anyway? We have been through the mill with Swann, fearing we won’t have a club. Hilton has come in and stopped the rot (at least for now), and that is great. However, it doesn’t give him free reign without scepticism for anything he does. The positive actions at Ilkeston served as some hope that he’d do similar here. It does not make him immune to questioning over concerns, which can be quashed if he communicated clearly with the fans. That hasn’t happened so far and now we have rumours and many not knowing what to believe. Retorting with his great actions at Ilkeston won’t address the questions over the here and now.
You may not be the chairman of Ilkeston, but responding to concerns about his management of our club by singing his praises is going to raise suspicions among the more paranoid.
