What on earth is the point of a club where only 117 fans can be arsed to turn up for a play off semi? Ridiculous.


I know! We should have a salary cap to stop individuals elevating teams far above their natural support level.

Think Pipe should have gone for that challenge at the end.


Not as bad as one earlier which was a real 2 footer by Marsh Brown I think
Got to say looking at that tonight why do we fear these teams, playing at two thirds our ability we should murder them

A club should represent a community in some form. Currently many of them represent nothing more than the ego of some super rich patron .

Such clubs just have no real foundation. it's like Coyne Dynamos, or Rushden and Diamonds. When the sugar daddy gets bored or finds a new hobby the clubs fold. History and tradition do mean something.

Didn't he play for Newport and kick us all over the park?

I get the point and I know FGR are bankrolled , but the  attendance argument has always/does make me cringe ..... What about us when we were in the championship ? Genuinely 'punching above our weight ' everyone deserves a shot however it comes . There's just different ways of going about it .

I think there is a difference between a smaller club doing well because they are well run, have a great team spirit and punch above their weight, and a non entity club being bankrolled to buy their way ahead of the competition.

I am all for the underdogs, and am delighted to see Leicester beat the money bag outfits.

But these 'executive toy' clubs are just tackle extensions.

What about the 'hardcore' fans of teams like FGR and the like though , it must be like Christmas has come early . Let's be honest we would all snap a 'sugar daddy's' hand off to come in and do the same at Town ! Anyone who says different is trying to convince themselves .

I agree. and if I won £100 million on the euro lottery I would definitely buy us back into the league.
