Could we do it? Is it possible? We raised 500k to try get promoted, could we raise quadruple that knowing we could potential be the ones running the club? IF we did and Fenty passed the club over would it work? Would we be able to stabilise the club and do what the fans want (to a certain extent)

We raised £110K to get promoted, no idea why you think it was half a million.

Careful what you wish for just look at Darlington! Mind you I suppose there will be a few who would take Darlington's position big fish In a little pond again.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Promise a man someone else's fish and he votes Labour.

Absolutely no way the fans should pay anything to any of the current board members.

Who are the ones who have cost the club money by making poor decisions. It wasn't the fans who employed Lennie Lawrence, Paul Groves, Graham Rodger, Nicky Law, Newell, Woods, Bignot and Slade. It wasn't the fans who made promises and broke them leading to Hurst leaving.

There were 3 parties interested in buying Town as it states 1 hour 25 minutes in here.

We are not the most of glamorous  of clubs but Scunny, Lincoln, Rotherham, Hull, Doncaster have all had investment into their football clubs when they were fairly skint. The board are not selling club for the good of the fans, the board are not selling the club because they want a return on what they have put in. However if they ran the club properly and employed the correct people then maybe the losses we have had in the past would be profits instead.

As for Mr Slade , he has not had a promotion in 20 years of being in managemeant. His recruitment has been atrocious and the fact that most of his signings are on two year deals is worrying. I don't even think changing the tactics around can change are fotunes. He was saying earlier this week on radio humberside that 'everyone knows this group of players can score goals as we've done it in the past' but when you look at the league table we have the second worst goals scoring record in the league despite being awarded the most penalties (so we can blame it on luck). He keeps on saying we are work in progress but looking at this squad we need a massive clear out for us to compete for a play off spot. One thing that certainly hasn't helped him is his outburst at Matt Dean during the fans forum which turned a lot of people against him for his rude and aggressive behaviour.

I fear this situation will only continue and the same regime will continue into next season providing we stay up. The only way the board will listen is if we stay away as it is clear that the fans of this club don't have a voice anyway (proven during the fans forum).
