Crowd yesterday and gates this season ?

Quoted from diehardmariner

Not weird at all.  Just shows how badly run the club is that we've had to endure a relegation scrap, (4th in the last 5 season in the Football League) despite the fact we have far greater resources available to us.

Wasnt comparing them with us but Stanley have outstripped Coventry and Luton with gates of 1900 and Macclesfield, up against Tranmere, Wrexham etc

I think once again, the fans have kept very loyal in the face of some abject offerings, on and off the pitch. Some of the stuff mentioned that has come from the club this season is dreadful, coupled with the absolutely dire "football" on the pitch. The word that has kept popping into my head all season has been "smug". There are now some posters on this board who are clearly aligned with the board of GTFC, and still they keep having a dig at the fans, the very lifeblood of the club. The fans have stepped up to the plate once again, backing the team to the hilt once we got someone in who we could all believe in. To think there would be no rumblings of discontent while we had to sit and watch the team being dismantled by a football has been, and his dreadful brand of football is just astonishing. Were we expected to sit there and "shut up" while we watched the incompetence all around us? The last handful of home games has shown what we are about as fans, backing the team loud and proud, when we see what we expect to see on the pitch.

Both clubs have got good managers that have been there for years,

I doubt either of them would have got promoted if Slade was their manager.

Just my opinion  

Our fanbase is big enough to make our club one competitive in this division IF we have the right manager. Stanley not only have the right manager but are obviously good at spotting young talent and giving them a chance in the first team - which means they get a lower wage bill. As the manager admitted on Talk Sport 2 nights back it helps when you are located in the North West and surrounded by clubs like Man city etc. which helps them pick up lads who are good but not good quite enough for the Premier Leauge. It does mean they have to replace these lads regularly if they cant up their wages after a year or so to just stand still

We know MJ can manage. To be succesfull he must now show he can identify and bring to the club the quality players we need when we release those players who move on now.

Good start by the club getting season tickets up and running early. Also good by the club to get MJ to talk after the game to the crowd. Also good that Fenty has stepped back of late.. Let's hope its the start of better things... I'm not sure what peplke expect, yes I was appalled about bragate. I was there I knew someone who was 'a victim' but its gone now and just don't visit Stevenage ever again or take banners etc. I think the club could do some sort of statement with a small apology on Slade, bragate and asking us to back MJ  for the coming season to finish it.. I personally don't care about 1 but I know a few people are still waiting and annoyed.

Anyway, we're staying up. Things are looking good under MJ so let the good times roll!
