Bucks, I’m simply not buying that . When Covid struck in March 2020, we were already back in the fourth division and struggling. From memory, our last game of the 19/20 season was a desperate home defeat to Grimsby.
Hurst had already been sacked at that point. We already had a weakened squad. Swann himself said last year that “Our budget is now a third of what it was two years ago.”
I don’t doubt that Covid has hit Swann’s other businesses and particularly affected his cashflow. But I do not agree with your assertion.

Last night was unbelievably negative, inexcusably so. We barely tried to hold the ball at all beyond around the 15th minute, choosing instead to sit back deeper and deeper. Barrow had little to offer but we gave them all the space they needed. You could argue Pugh was a bit unlucky to concede the penalty but if you spend the entire game playing in your own penalty area you always run the risk that a little mistake can be very costly.
Bringing Jarvis on made sense but why ask him to pay right wing?
Make no mistake, that was no points dropped last night, no excuse for it.

We obviously needed some experts from the north bank TW!
Using the tractor definitely helped the protest, made for a much more shareable image.

It may well be indicative of a change of heart but that statement still comes across as quite self-centred – I would have liked to hear more about the impact of the club management on other people.

Yeah, England are terrible, they haven’t reach a final in nearly FOUR MONTHS. Disgraceful.

One last thing, when you have thrown enough fuel on the fire you will be even more gutted when you realise you’ve helped contribute to the destruction of the club without a plan b in sight.
Um, if you think the club is in a good state at the moment, I’ve got some bad news for you.

No need to excuse yourself SanFran, the club is not entitled to our money, pure & simple.
Can’t run the club with fewer than 3,000/home game?
18 Scunthorpe United 2,745 – 24th
19 Barrow 2,643 – 11th
20 Colchester United 2,583 – 20th
21 Forest Green Rovers 2,445 – 1st
22 Crawley Town 2,160 – 9th
23 Salford City 2,041 – 17th
24 Harrogate Town 2,027 – 2ndI know Salford & Forest Green are subsidised but how are Crawley & Barrow achieving such sorcery of being any good on such small crowds?

Entirely predictable responses from the usual suspects. I’m not going to apologise for calling out the moaners and groaners. If all you ever do is moan and groan about anything and everything, as a number on this board have done since the days of Wharton then why should anyone take you seriously.
Hi Bucks, as judge & jury of what is acceptable and not when it comes to backing the owner, could you let us all know exactly how much we should put up with until we no longer back the owner?
Thanks in advance.

Remember when we were down in this position in 2004? There was nothing like the same degree of discontent or unrest among the supporters.
I don’t really care about which division we play in, like you say there are ups & downs and it’s all part of the ride. What I care about is the completely broken situation we have at the club now.
Almost? I’m not sure our cause can get much more lost.

If you still want to go to the home games but also want to make a point, how about staying outside for the first 5/10/15 minutes? Kicking off in an almost empty ground would make a pretty strong statement.

All good ideas in my opinion, would be good to hear some of them put forward at the shareholders’ meeting.

Les, do Forest Green have 700 fans? Could be quite a bit less than that I reckon.

Well said Bucks, reminds me of the regretful words of more than a few leave-voters in recent months. Happy to have you on our side of the fence now, hopefully we can make a difference.
