For me, if we go down, I won't renew. Not because of Fenty, because I don't know if I will want to watch us in the National League on a regular basis again. I plan to pick and choose some games but my fear is that I will get out of the habit and find other things to do on a Saturday.

If we stay up, I will renew as we all start at zero points and with a player clear out, some new signings and a pre-season behind him, I think Jolley has the potential to be a decent manager.

If we go down it's boycott time to force Fenty out the club.




He might JUST walk away and the club will fold!

That's the risk.

If we go down I won't be renewing my season ticket.....I'll just cherry pick my games and if we start doing well I will attend more often.

Alternatively if we stay up I will hold off buying a season ticket until the very last minute to see how much JF has backed MJ in the transfer market.
Make some decent signings and I will renew my season ticket.
If it's the usual everything on the cheap, no season ticket for me.....again I'll just cherry pick my games and if we start doing well I will attend more often.

Oh.....and the sooner GTFC can find an alternative to JF the better.

Wrong. We've had Bax state that the board genuinely believe that the fact people are still supporting the club means they're supporting the regime. A huge drop in STH's and attendances will show them in no uncertain terms that they're not supported.

Yes it will hurt the club but it will hurt Fenty more. The less fans we have, the worse our budget, the less chance of getting some "football fortune" and so the less likely he is to get his money back Which is all he cares about, if he cared about the club he'd have fucked off years ago.


I find the bit in bold quite shocking along with the ''Operation Promotion' is the worst thing to happen to the club quote. That smacks of taking the fans for granted and mocks the unity that OP created.

I think many of us have held that view for many seasons which may have added to JF feeling he is irreplaceable at board level.

Having read the posts from Big Chris, Bax and Barra I am now persuaded that alternatives are out there and all that is needed is for JF to write off his benign loans. If he stays and we go down I know our four season tickets will not be renewed and I feel JF will either be faced with a significant cash input or walking away, his recent anonymity plus his “Fentygate” quote of wanting out make me believe he may step down but given he no longer puts cash in why should it fold?

I’m resigned to the drop to be honest so...

I think they’ll be a bigger impact on gates this time and I also think if MJ doesn’t replace Wilco with someone who knows that league and has a network of pros at that level we could find it really tough going.

Something needs to give otherwise we’ll start the season as a club with our heads down which could lead to further disaster!

What I hope is we start winning a good few games at BP and score a few then get to the first round of the cup and get a local team from league 1 at home. People might just get interested again.

I would also be concerned that last time we where down there we had massive issues breaking sides down especially at BP, MJ will need a fix on this from day 1.

Why will the club fold???

As has been pointed out numerous times over the past months JF hasn't put any money into the club for years.

We are more than sustainable at this level with the gates that we get.

Fenty Out.

I'd expect the fans to rally round if that did happen, boost season ticket sales, meet a call to buy as much merchandise etc as possible, the odd share purchase etc.
I united fan base aligned to the clubs plan could stil be a force
