    I recall to good old days when bog rolls were the weapon of choice and nary an eyebrow raised.

    Like this profanity filled bottle throwing fest ??

    First game ive managed to get on the telly since back alarm set at 02-30 am .. and what a stinker it was…bloody awful not a single positive except the new lad Jones looks promising.

    SUFC Worst team in the play off spots by a mile and not really sure retaining a PO place is worth happening just to get badly beaten by anyone in the mix.

    Also signing more attacking options when the defense is shocking…Boyce is past it hoping for a siging and JB comes in.

    Maybe some have eyes on a move or even have something already lined up but there must a reason for such a lazy half hearted display.

    NO MORE EVENING KOs FOR ME

    im guessing Positivity Daves internet must be down down ??? wondering how he can spin this one … or a name change to Delusional Dave perhaps.

    oh ..Sutton did have a perfectly good goal chalked off and deserved the win imo.

    this whole pounds for pitch is bollocks is just that ..
    firstly its been created to satisfy the egos of the likes of Maw, Unity and POz Dave and all the recent super fan additions so thy can become relevant ..
    Secondly the BovD should manage the club as business and the pitch as as an expense of the business as basic business policy.

    This constant begging bowl mentality is wearing thin and even after near on 50 yrs supporting the club im fed up of it ..

    When directors come in to the club they must realize its like owning a boat or a swimming pool .. just a never ending money pit swallowing the money .. ive had both and never again ..thankfully at no point would i consider buying into a FC as its simply a money pit and BAD INVESTMENT.

    Good luck to SUFC best wishes to all the staff and fans but at this point in my life i am the complete opposite of Poz Dave and sadly my love , passion and even my historical ties for SUFC are dwindling… alas i think i may not be participating much in any form now on so i wish all bruers good health and happiness.

    ps we simply cannot compete BUDGET WISE in NL yet and whilst others may disagree i still dont like AB as manager his attitude and stubbourness will come to bear.

    THANKFULLY the club appears stable thanks to Michelle Harness and in some form will survive long after AB etc have moved on which is all that matters.

    EL football is still a few seasons away .. i reckon at least 3

    THAT WAS UTTER DROSS TOTAL CRAP ..

    Ewing must have a deal lined up n dont give a shit .. maybe more.

    struggle to even make the playoffs as i reckon will stuff us and things will all go tits up.

    remit of survival achieved ..AB job safe, players loaned out and nowt of note replacing , we look crap for it , attitudes have changed..

    THIS IS SUFC ..

    oh btw can fans donate for a new pitch ??

    Given the league table Renee’s done are we going to to make playoffs ??

    500 quid says we dont make the playoffs .. odds are shit but heyho IMO its a fair bet the way its going pear shaped !!… AB sending players out no incomings and what appears to be dis harmony in the ranks unless of course your POZ Dave in which case an earthquake destroying the AAGP would be classed as renovating infrastructure.

    without going back to look at recent Alty games has Dec Howe played many minutes for them or been on the bench ? the whole point was he went there for game time so if its not materializing surely he may as well come back ASAP .. imo we miss his energy he works hard and knocks in the odd goal.. that said i did read a rumour hes attitude had drifted and AB n him had gurned at each other.. RUMOUR only

    Over recent weeks we have seen players leave (Howe being the most prominent) and players come in Hurst , Dausch etc.. IMO AB has become a bit of a tinkerman playing players out of their natural positions henceforth the performances have been poor as results prove that (lucky to get 3pts against Southend).. it seems to me the team has lost its winning structure and focus ..lets revisit this after the next 3 fixtures as by then we may well be in a less comfortable place with regard to actually achieving a top 7 finish.

    Ive always openly said i dont like AB as manager and a slight sense some of the players feel the same ..

    Very non poor (except Smith)transfer window business and some strange choices but hey WE ARE SAFE from the drop and survival was the target for most including me.

    imo simply not good enough for promotion this season and depending who stays or goes it may well be another survival season next year also.. too many round pegs in square holes as Sanfran posts as well as odd ins n outs

    Yes. I am disgusted that the club hasn’t acknowledged or thanked the Trust publicly for its fund raising work. It’s insulting and disrespectful. I shall not be contributing to this current crowd funder or any other unless the club’s current owners (i) set out clearly and openly their plans to operate sustainably and (ii) bring the Trust on board as a partner.

    Feel pretty much the same as above as when it comes to donations / fund raising etc the club do seem to take some sections of the fan base for granted whilst courting others.

    Fans being asked to dig deep AGAIN ,,,, im sure an update on the clubs current finances with regard to outstanding debts including loans the BovD have put in and want paid back would be greatly appreciated by the grass roots fans, i was under the impression Michelle (legend) said the club was close to clearing all debt some time ago.. maybe i miss heard her comments ??

    All the messaging from the club seems to be that the Trust are an entity to ‘put up with’, not courted. They save that for the narcissists, who appear to be breeding like rabbits.

    I was thinking exactly this DM .. where are all these camera hugging super fans coming from as their numbers are increasing by the week.. Mr Maw and PD started the ball rolling and now the flock is growing.

    No its a business .. when it suits .. then when when fans are asked to dig deep again via whatever n whoever it suddenly becomes a ” community asset” ..

    I wont donate for this pitch gig as surely its down to the owners of the club to come up with an economic plan to get it done from income raised from the prolonged spell of high gate receipts , merch sales , season tickets AND CHARITABLE DONATIONS already received.. there comes a time when the club constantly accepting fan goodwill and taking it for granted becomes a piss take.

    without a huge improvement we will be struggling to stay in the play offs … with 3 really tough games coming up in which Nil points from 9 is a distinct possibility and could well see us drop away.

    Not an AB fan at all but as he says we are safe from relegation and that was the aim from the first ball being kicked henceforth he must think he has succeeded via this remit.
    Part of me doesnt want promotion im not sure i could stomach Dave the mugs gushings .. and it was nice to see him reign in his tedious and ridiculous over positive silliness on the Ironarmy fan reaction YT vid .. and note was was not available for comment on the main vlog.. i do hope hes ok !!

    AB pissing about too much and the side has lost all its structure focus and momentum .. could well see us fall apart from now on

    After that debacle with one eye looking over the shoulder the next 3 games are all huge Dale , Shots n York by which time im predicting finishing third will be a distant memory and actually staying in the play off places will be the target.

    Can we not do better than this? Why have the club aligned themselves with a guy who prints his face on mugs and hands them out to kids and Stuart Maw, who salaciously messaged teenagers on Twitter?

    With such a history of dodgy money handling and well publicised use of fans funds to subsidise his own away travel.

    We have to do better than this.

    Just logged in to try n find a new local gambling site feed to actually watch the game rather than just HR commentary and so far its looking good .. moving on
    At the same time i read this new pounds for pitch idea by the Unity and group and incorporating a special mention to one n only Poz Dave..
    I have to agree with the above post WTF .. the club should get away from this hand out begging mentality and get a structured ecconomic plan regarding the pitch and stadium rather than the get the “me on camera im important” attention seeking of “super fans” ..
    The fans have and are doing their part week in week out even letting some fan directed obtuse comments by AB dissapear like a fart in the wind.

    SUFC is a business and IMO has had more than enough charitable assistance over the last few years so surely the owners should sort out the pitch issue ..

    Poz Dave just wants to be involved at any cost .. alas hes making himself look like a proper wanna be twat whilst trying to do so.

    Even though im over seas and have donated funds numerous times in the past via ppl on the ground in Scunny i really cant be arsed anymore when the clubs only answer seems to be .. lets go to the fans for cash vis the likes of Unity and this Dave fella.

    BOOM ..

    here is another IFA prediction and this one is written in the stars so much so i would bet my grannies mobility scooter on it.

    We do the double over Southend in the season and draw them in the playoffs and they beat us … its happened so many times … THE LOTTERY OF THE PLAYOFFS AWAITS.

    DW in game use of profanities got him an early booking yesterday which could have easily led to Scunny going down to 10 men.
    The pluses slightly out weigh the negatives re Mr Whall but imo he should try to keep his gob shut and less theatricals.

    Such a strange decision regardless and some clarification would be welcomed alas as ever things with SUFC a tad cloudy when it comes to keeping fans clear and up to date. Voice of the fans ???

    i can get and not overly concerned .. (DID I MISS ANYONE)

    But Howe is a bit more complex to fathom out especially with little or no newbies incoming only most recently Connor Smith recently (which was great news).

    Totally agree with the many posts on here questioning ABs decision re Dec Howe who has imo not been given a chance playing where he should be playing…alas im sure Mr Butler has a plan and for sure some viper tongued excuses aimed at the fans when questioned on the decision …. if things do go pear shaped obviously.

    It may well be a masterstroke especially with rumours Jamie Vardy was seen in Tescos tuther day !!
