What talented young players are those? If they were that good they would be in the team wouldn't they? DJ and Dembele are young, good enough and ARE in the team so I don't get your point.

The club is being poorly run by the so called board. Less than 3 weeks ago we were doing ok on the field, but we have been in leagues 4 and 5 for donkeys years whoever was manager. No good keep sacking managers unless they are really bad news (Bignot). It is the boardroom that needs addressing.  


It isn't being very well run by the manager either.

Quoted from OneLove
The fishy is full of threads about the state of the club and the minute someone mentions a show of faces to protest against how deflated the club is on and off the pitch it just gets ridiculed. We can all sit behind a screen saying this is what will happen, no you shouldn't do this etc etc but in reality we need to start proving the point by getting together as a whole and getting this club sorted out once and for all. Its declined and declined for years now and its not going to get any better is it? or shall we all carry on as normal and sooner or later it become a folded club just like most of this towns history.


Fenty and Co are fully aware of how the fans feel. They don’t need banners or chants to tell them.
As I said in an earlier post, the most effective form of protest is to just stay away.  Yes, it won’t be very nice for the players to come out to a crowd of 3000 or so. But in volume of noise it won’t be any quieter than at the moment.
Booing and calling for Slades Head during a game will never improve performances on the pitch. But if JF starts to get hit in the pocket he may well have his hand forced.  Social media ensures that the board get the message nowadays. Even if they refuse to accept it.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I don't think they are aware at all. The board are that pig-headed that they think that the nay-sayers are a small minority on the Fishy (and that's on very good authority). Problem is Fenty booted out Bignot, pretty unceremoniously, and replaced him with Slade with a bit of a fanfare. Unless we get into serious excrement, that's unlikely to change.

Think they’re too self centred and idotitic to even realise what the fans think so I think some sort of prostest is needed.

Maybe in the Findus Car Park during the game instead of going in so we can boycott and protest all in one.  I really believe we need to take action to get our club back before it’s totally destroyed because I don’t think we have long left.

I think there's an element of truth that Fenty and the Chain Rattling Accountant don't recognise the depth of feeling. However, what if Fenty does decide to jack it in and flog the club to the first chancer that comes along with a mouth full of promises and  opportunities to get us further into debt?

Before the revolution is launched you've got to have a viable alternative ready.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Boycotting , banners and chanting is this going to improve the performance of the players out on the pitch??

They are the ones currently under performing right now. Showing very little quality , , very little desire and passion and showing very little interest!! They are the ones getting paid to play for our club but right now not many of them are actually playing!!!

Will sacking Slade improve the players currently employed by our club?? Erm no

Am I right in thinking the last mass protest in the car park numbered about twelve

Protests etc are I think a total waste of our time, it will fall on deaf ears. Simply stay away from the games, away matches included, park your bum on the sofa in front of Jeff Stelling and co., much more entertaining, warmer, cheaper, in a short while Fenty will be hit hard by the lack of takings and support. Hurtful to the players I admit, but I reckon we must show our feelings by staying away.

It just might be that the players don't want to play for Slade.
