Same here, two season ticket holders, 40 plus years.. Never boycotted (except Chuck up trophy). I'd thought I'd seen it all, but that's it from me and my father. Cannot begin to respond to the board's statement, it frankly doesn't deserve one. But if they genuinely think this is a few, fickle fans they are so so deluded. As for building, you don't start with a wrecking ball.

Questions for the trust. Did you sign off on the Club Statement blaming the fans for the excrement the club is in now??? Did you have any input into the Statement????
Why are the Trust reluctant to provide this basic information,you cannot use confidentiality as an excuse.

it seems to me that people just not turning up is the only answer, that way our fragile players won't be adversely affected by the crowd's negativity and JF will hopefully get the message via a deserted stadium that fans have had enough.
2 other possibilities (backed by publicity)
1) mass return of season tickets by those not planning to go any more 2) public pledge or petition by those season ticket holders who won't be renewing if things stay as they are
you've got to hit JF with ££££ - it's the only thing he listens to

I just fear that this is there way of warming towards an administration situation on the back of they can no longer deal and cover the liability, I don't get them and furthermore I don't trust them
Herts have to agree, we’ll be in administration by the end of 2018. It is unlikely the Club will be able to generate much cash from season ticket sales this Summer. We are in transition of DEMISE, instead of shipping in more loan signings, probably on decent wages it would have been cheaper to let Slade go.

I suppose we could organise a mass lets go and watch Cleethorpes Town/Grimsby Borough Saturday afternoon instead of going to Blundell Park - that might send a message to Fenty of how much cash he is missing out on

Each to there own. I tried it and it was awful, Just didnt feel anything for what was going on in front of my eyes. That is not meant to be a slight on the clubs or the local players it just wasnt my team I guess

Yeah i get that, I'm just getting desperate. It's clear that Slade and Fenty are destroying this club.

My Trust membership expires at the end of this month, and I will (currently) not be renewing. They have absolutely zero influence in the way the club is run and there has been nothing but silence from them during this shambles that is unfolding.

It's all hot air and guff that i have heard many times before, only this time i won't blindly keep going thinking it will get better, because it never does. They have used up all my good will and that's another supporter of approaching 50 years that will not be buying a season ticket. The other three i attend with probably won't be either. I didn't want Slade back but yet again, gave the club the benefit of the doubt and bought a ST. Quickly realised it was a mistake and the one good game i have seen so far this season cost me £340. Not once have i booed or shouted at the players/management, despite the awful fare on offer at BP, so you can fook right off.
It just shows how little they know about the fans, that they thought bringing back Slade was a good idea. Selling Jones at the 11th hour was just putting the boot in once too often.

With that statement the board has effectively signed the club's death warrant.
They've put themselves in a no-win situation.
Stick with Slade and we could go down. Even if we stay up, season ticket sales next season will be hit massively.
No one is happy with these results, but more importantly no one is happy with the football. There was discontent among the fans long before this awful run began.
The reasons for sacking Bignot become more ludicrous with every passing day. He was simply not judged on the same criteria as Slade is being judged.
There's clear preferential treatment and that comes from a personal approach, not a club approach. John Fenty has once again let his personal views dictate things.
Even if Slade sorts this mess out, it's only a mess he created in the first place so he won't get elevated in the eyes of the fans. It was he and Fenty who mentioned a push for the play-offs when he was appointed, not us.
So we'll either go down and drift slowly into the abyss, or we'll stay up and attendances will plummet.
The only thing that will improve the situation is if Fenty, Slade or both go.
And the only person who has created this situation is John Fenty.
Don't blame the fans, John. Don't tell us what we should and shouldn't do. We're not responsible for this mess. You are.
You are financially out of pocket because of the mistakes you have made. All our assets - Bogle, Osborne, Jones - have gone. Attendances are falling. The stadium won't happen. You need to up your game to find this investment because right now you're doing irreversible damage to this club and this will be the thing you're remembered for.
Destroying the club I love; my dad loves; my grandad loved; my great grandad loved.
I really hope that troubles you at night. Because it should.
