Freefall

Quoted from Wrawby_Mariner

Personally speaking I owe Mariners Trust rather a lot. In the 5 years I spent on the board I grew from just being there for something to do while I learnt to walk again after being paralysed from the waist down to somebody who works in the football industry with lots of scope to develop rather quickly. Are things like Harry the Haddock and Op Pro in my portfolio? of course they are. I am extremely proud of what The Trust has done over the course of it's reformation.

I learnt so much from so many of my colleagues on the board from professionalism to insights into marketing and other industries that all serve me very well now.

So in that respect I think the Trust benefits from people with time to spare and skills that are useful and in return

I haven't read the findings of the questionaire but I hope the current board find it useful and act accordlingly.

Based on your experience do you expect the board to use the information wisely and act accordingly?

I think the general consensus has been to get this season out of the way and then push on from there, which I wouldn’t disagree with really.

The fans keeping off the players backs has been a real surprise given the run were on though it`s for the greater good.They appear to be trying but lack any ability to win.

That is the view of every fan i know. None of them want to see us relegated to non league, as we now know the consequences of that. Everyone is keeping a lid on things until we know our destiny.

I don't see many keeping a lid on things if I'm honest. GTFC will be three season tickets down from Codger Towers next season. Sure, there's stuff that bax wants to keep to himself for wholly understandable reasons but as far as most are concerned, this season has been a spectacular fuckup.

One thing that is certain is you can not work along side Fenty whoever you are,

You either work for him and be a yes man or you walk away.

Yeah, agreed, but most are trying to keep the lid on things for the next 8 games was my point. What happens in the close season can be put on the back burner for now.

You're right. What's frustrating me is the predictability of it all. Just onefucking disaster after the next.

You don't ever want to go back to the conference ,after 6 years it makes a change to actually get some away fans in this season than the usual 50-80 that conference teams bring.

I think feelings are on a back burner as such. To be fair, the players have had very little stick considering our position.  I think the fans have just accepted our fate now.  The club is fukced and it's not just this current  squad that are to blame.
Most of them are quite simply not good enough to play at this level.  The ones that could, have been let go.  Even at Lincoln on Sat there was no anger from the fans, no outbursts, just one big collective sigh of acceptance and a very muted 60 minutes.  To be honest, I think that if we stay up it is only delaying the inevitable.  Season ticket sales will be at an all time low and MJ will have 3/5ths of f'all for a budget. One which JF will tell us is competitive etc etc.  This coupled with some sort of announcement that due to circumstances beyond the club/extreme leisure's control the new ground will be yet again dead and buried.  
There are two possibilities for the club to move forward.  John and the board move on as a whole, or the new ground takes off and starts to move apace.  Personally, I can see neither happening.
The majority of this squad will slink off quietly and probably never play league football again.  MJ will battle gamely, before leaving to go as an underling at a bigger club that will give him a reasonable chance to fulfill the potential many believe that he has. The feelings that the fans have now will come to the fore by a vastly reduced attendance.  People are beyond anger now and that's the most dangerous time. When even the feelings of hurt and anger  have gone it means that there is nothing left.  There will be no drama's from the fans over the next 8 games.  If we do get relegated at FGR I doubt very much there will be a 10th of the trouble there was at Burton. I won't be there, that's for sure. As much as I blame John Fenty, the spineless bunch of nodding donkeys that call themselves board members are as much to blame.  They must surely have disagreed with several of JF's decisions but just never had the balls to say so.
