Previous to that, like many, I had every confidence in Swann, but his removal of the oap concession**, closely followed by the failure of either him or Rodwell to reply to my letters, soured me towards him.
Really? I’d seen through him long before then.

Wilson is just 1 example of yet another promising youngster overlooked
We should definitely be making more of our youth team but at the same time it says a lot about where we are that a completely unproven teenager is our big hope at the moment.

I’m certain that there are more than two teams performing worse than dear old Scunny
I know it’s only September but the league table currently disagrees with you.
The problem lies with the chairman and his team (family.)
This is exactly where all our frustration should be directed.

who would want to come here and who could we actually afford?
1,000 times this!

Why does our recruitment continue to be so poor?
Because in life you only get out what you put in and we aren’t putting enough in?
I also note that one of the two players you list as a success isn’t currently in the team either! So that success rates falls a bit further….

All I want is for people to go and support the team rather than making petty excuses for not going i.e tatty flags, dirty seats, drinks in plastic glasses etc.
Happy to support us away from home but I’m not prepared to keep handing over money to the club at the moment. Each to their own, that’s my choice.
Look, in the past you might have had a point but over the last 30 years football clubs have decided they want customers instead of fans. They’ve put prices up massively compared with inflation. That’s their decision but if you do that, your customers are going to start wanting more in return for their money. If I go to watch Bottesford Town for £5, my expectations are very different to having to hand over £20+ at Glanford Park.
Look at it this way: if we’re trying to be “sustainable”, there are two ways to do that: cut costs & increase income. I can see the cost cutting but what is the club doing to increase income? At least the shirts seem better than the Rodwell era, that’s a step in the right direction. But compare us to a much smaller club like Accrington, where the owner makes community work the centre of everything they do, where they give shirts to every schoolkid in the town, where they spent last season investing in new facilities like a bigger bar, where the owner makes a real effort to engage with supporters.
Are you telling me we can’t compete with Accrington?
I’ll support the players on the pitch, it’s the people in the boardroom I’m angry with.

I never thought I’d be jealous of the Cods but looking at their packed ground, exciting football (John McAtee at the heart of everything!), new owners and new catering, there is clearly a lot to be envious of when it comes to our fishy friends down the A180.

Don’t go because we’re playing shite or your not being entertained, but because Swann is chairman give over.
Eh? Why would anyone expect to be entertained watching 4th division football?
Protesting the running of the football club is a perfectly reasonable explanation of people staying away.

I would like to see Scrimshaw, or Loft for that matter, given a go alongside Jarvis. I don’t think anyone’s expecting Jarvis to score hatfulls of goals but he could be a handy foil for a strike partner.

Awaywego, I am happy to stake a fair wager that, if we get relegated to the Conference, we won’t be getting 6,000+ for a Tuesday night game in our first season in that division.

I get your passion for the club WG, I really do, but you have to treat employees as people. You’ll get more out of employees if you treat them with a bit of respect.
And, anyway, looking at the squad, I am not persuaded that a change of manager will make that much difference to our results, especially if the claims that the loanees have to play are true.

Everyone was telling me a few weeks ago how we had so much team spirit this season and how we wouldn’t fall apart like last time around. I can’t help notice that the arrival of two no-mark loanee midfielders seems to have coincided with our recent defeats and the team seemingly falling apart.
And on top of this, I still only make it two goals from open play so far this season, not a good stat.

Not sure why people think Loft & Scrimshaw will be such a good partnership. Everyone seems to think Loft is a target man but he absolutely isn’t, his hold-up play is terrible and his best work comes from running in behind. Just because he’s tall, people think we can just whack the ball up to him. Hopefully he can still dovetail with Scrimshaw but I’m not yet convinced they’ll be the perfect partnership some hope for.

From what I’ve seen, I think he’s one of the few success stories of this season. He’s made some crucial saves to earn us points in some matches and has not been to blame for the way the defence has fallen apart in recent weeks.

I know it will be bloody hard and the timing is rotten. Look, it’s bloody terrible in fact but what can anybody really do ?
Treat someone like a human being? Give the man a couple of weeks off to grieve, to organise everything that comes with a family bereavement, to attend the funeral? I mean, is that too much to ask?
