Maybe if the board try and DO something that may get the fans excited more's the point. We're way past shallow words that the fans know the board don't believe in but it serves their purpose of bringing in income that they can gladly spend and take the credit for rather than change the whole dynamic of the club by bringing in extra investment or sorting a new stadium.
Every bit of responsibility for the well being of the club is being loaded on the fans year by year. A set of loyal fans that have suffered enough over the past two decades. A set of loyal fans who are generous enough to blame themselves in this thread regarding how crap the team are at home due to atmosphere, yet BP was voted best for atmosphere in League Two in a recent fan survey. BP was a morgue on Saturday, but fans should not be blamed for everything that's wrong at the club and they should not feel responsibility or guilt for everything that's wrong at the club too, the ultimate responsibility lays elsewhere..
If the board resigned it would be a good start  |

I think when the away end is packed and we have someone to chant at then BP can be a fortress. For the last ten years though the away end has been fairly empty. In that case the supporters tend to find fault on the pitch, or those that do can at least be overheard

It’s a good question and I think it’s us the fans that are the problem. We get on the players backs with (at times) some really nasty comments. I live near London and over the years I’ve been to nearly all if not all the grounds in London with friends. I’ve noticed the home fans are nowhere near as nasty as ours can be. Also ours is a small ground with the pitch right next to the stands, so the players can hear most of these comments. Would you be playing to your full capacity if that was happening to you? I also think it’s worth mentioning that the away support is the opposite. They shout and cheer their hearts out from start to finish. It therefore appears (to me) that those getting on the players backs only go to home games. Ok that’s a generalisation but I don’t think I’m far off the mark. UTM
At yesterdays match in the Upper Findus there was this guy who is not a season ticket holder effing and blinding at the top of his voice throughout Towns "good spell " in the first half. He has done the same whenever I have seen him but yesterday he was on the row end about 3 rows above the stairs. I was tempted to tell him but then he was unusually quiet for the rest of the match. Stood at the top of the stairs were 3 stewards who must have heard him-wouldn't it have been part of their job to tell him to cut out the swearing. It's fair enough shouting but the language this guy was using was disgraceful. If you are the one and you are reading this "grow up" there were women and children within 5 yards of you-have respect. |

I have it on good authority that Mr Fenty has promised not to do it again |

Problem is now that any positive (whenever it happens) input by the board is likely to be met with cynicism. Let's just remember that this is the board that weren't very resolute post-Stevenage, organised the bullying of Matt Dean, accused some fans of bullying over Checkatrade, promised a new stadium by November 2019 and Championship football in 5 years. Not to forget that 'Operation Promotion' was the 'worst thing that's happened'. I don't know if Michael Jolley reads The Fishy but please don't believe all you've been told! It's not just us that raise expectations. |

They had their chance to get the fans excited approx 1.3 million for Bogle and 700.000 for dembele so why the f*ck didn’t they buy a goalscorer who can put the ball in the net, It’s been needed long since Bogle left and we’ve not replaced him we’re has all the money gone ? Ok we’ve signed a couple of players who could be on good money ie welsh Hess macca whitehouse but surely all that money hasn’t been spent on wages it’s amazing how 3000 season tickets have been sold AGAIN but yet we still never got that one goalscorer that we all so badly wanted, Ive never had a problem with fenty and the board but they are now starting to p*ss me off and a lot of other fans also wondering were the money has gone this season hasn’t been great as yet and I hope it gets better because the fans are showing already that there not happy with what they are watching especially at home UTM ⚫️⚪️

I fully agree with you but no way did we get £2m for Bogle and Dembele, more like around half of that. |

Sorry if this has been said before but we are so poor at home because we never replaced Boglem
If you can not score you will not win,
As soon as the away side score first you know we will not score 2,
Lets hope with Thomas Pringle and the young lad from Sunderland change things for the better.

Yeah clearly nonsense. I heard we got £1.4m for Dembele plus 50% sell on. |
