Let fenty run the fishy

Quoted from STB

To be fair, you only have to ask some of the once die-hard fans why they do not attend anymore and their answer is nearly always the JF reason.
Maybe its because of the downfall of the club since he became involved.
I neither know nor care nowadays and just take each game as it comes.
Pre-season has been good so far and I'm going to Lincoln tomorrow.

The answer is always fenty imo

Quoted from costa del cleethorpes

The answer is always fenty imo

Unless the question is 'name a successful chairman?'

Quoted from SlouchyMetal

i like how everyone seemsto think the last 10 years have been on the down hill since fenty took over BUT we were nearly promoted in 2006 which is less than ten years ago AND fenty was at the helm then. nice to know that that particular point (one of the highest in a long time) is glossed over

But we didn't get promoted and JF caused the departure of the man (Slade) who did look like taking the club forward.

As a former die-hard, there are a number of reasons and I guess the main one is finding something better to do with my 'leisure pound' than going to watch an over-priced product.

Yes, Fenty has pi$$ed me off with several things that he has done during his time as chair but his time has coincided with the biggest recession this country has known and probably the biggest change in the demographic of football (TV money). You can speculate on how qualified (or otherwise) he is/was to deal with that & I only hope that now the club has started to turn the corner. Blundell Park & its' facilities are clearly not commercially viable and a new stadium will attract fans back to the club in the short-term and will continue to in the longer term if there is some on-pitch success.

My hopes are that on-field prosperity together with a solid plan for the future bring me & others back to the fold sooner rather than later.

Fenty has made mistakes and they have all been in the public eye,

I wonder how the moaners on here would react if we all went to watch them work,

Then put in on the internet how shite at thier job they are,

Plus you get paid to do your job, Fenty has put his own money into a thankless task.

Whilst I accept part of your point Pete, it was Fenty who put himself in this position and has always enjoyed promoting himself wherever possible (shoulder high at Bournemouth is a notable landmark!)

Well said that man.

And in other news chesterfield, rovrum,york shortly have got new stadiums obviously the recession as passed them by, not helpfull the economic climate but i cant see the ground ever coming under the present controll

to think getting 8 points more but still finishing 11th is better is really clutching at straws. people on here care about their club in their own way but you can not hide from the fact that we are still a failing club. this season in my opinion will be the biggest in the history of the club. anything short of promotion will be a complete disaster. the reasoning behind that statement is the fact that the extra monies from bennett etc will have gone and the following seasons budget will be halved. now that will be a worry unless the sale of another player or two can keep us going but that will then diminish our chances further on the field. lets hope for a good one this year.
