Quoted from ginnywings


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.


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.  


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'

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.


Well no, we don't want to, but it's like more and more likely. Funny thing is that when you were in the doldrums, some Lincoln fans i talked to genuinely thought that it was JF "bankrolling" us out of the conference.

You get that all the time in Lincoln, maybe it suits the agenda of the more ignorant Lincoln fans to think we need millions throwing at us to get back in the league when the reality is millions have been thrown at the club sending us downwards.
Funny thing now is that if the penny drops and they see the truth they'll discover that Town fans funded the League promotion as much as anything. Wow, they'll say, Fenty must have been pleased about that.
No, we'll say, he thought it the worst thing to ever happen to the club.

You can't really blame opposition fans for the confusion

And to think he was crass enough to advise them how to stay up!

I think relegation is a done deal sadly. We're so awful and bereft of confidence it's difficult to see MJ pulling a win out of the bag.
Our record at home to Chesterfield isn't good and Mad Dog will have Barnet eating raw meat this week. The other games are easily losable.
I truly hope I'm wrong but it feels like everyone's holding their breath waiting for the axe to fall

I think given the season we have had and the mess we are in the support and attendances have held up retry well really. Still better supported than some other teams in league 2

So you're admitting it was you at Burton. Shame on you Civvy.


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.

That just underlines the incompetence of those in charge.
