Early days admitted but it already looks like FGR and the arrogant Dale Vince could be making a quick return to the tinpot.

1 win in 9 and the worst GD in league 2 after losing at home to Swindon tonight.

watched the game earlier...was pretty low quality really...Swindon were the better but blunt up front and gifted 2 goals in a game that looked to be heading out to be a 0-0.
3000 odd there with 1000 from Swindon.  

Ollie Lancashire scored for Swindon , Ben Futcher assistant manager at Swindon by the looks of it too.

FGR looked woeful and Swindon missed a few clear chances.

Don't be fooled not many clubs in league 2 have the spending power they have coupled with an unhinged chairman of course!

They wanted to be in the Championship within 5 years!  The only way that they will play a Championship club is in the FAC.  And that looks remote.  Arrogance has its own downfall.

Just looked at the highlights, their defence was woeful, Cooper says he thought they did well restricting them, could have been 5-1 if Swindons Norris could hit a barn door

An earlier post mentioned the "arrogance of their chairman" but surely this post is just as arrogant. It's not long since we were non-league among the " tin pots " and a bad season could put us back their as well. The expression " schadenfreude " springs to mind with regards to this attitude.

Surely every club in the FA pyramid has a right to play at whatever level they can reach. There was a time when teams like Wigan were " tin pot".

Ah , so now the definition of " tin pot " is a club that has sold a potentially decent player. We've sold many over the years, including Omar, so we must be " tin pot " too!

Yes we are and have been for years, look at the crowd, ground, players and staff and compare to when we were  a head held high team

If FGR chairmen ( think it's Dale Vince) loses interest than they will go the same way as Rushden and Diamonds.

He won't FGR is a massive part of his cross branding exercise which is working well.
