Can't motivate myself for this Saturday. It's just not entertaining anymore (Lincoln game aside). Hate to say it but I need a break from whats on offer at BP at the moment. I expect a very low attendance on Saturday which should send a message to the Board. That said we will probably win 4-0 now

I’ll be there with my 8 year old daughter since I’m down for the weekend.

She’s already suffered been dragged to Darlo games this season and we’ve lost both times. Hopefully she brings some winning luck to you on Saturday.

Bloody hell you have them young up there. Your 8 year old has a daughter?!


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.

Malaise not really but apathy and increasing indifference. Onlly having a season ticket gets me there and without no chance. Simply no longer enjoy it as the cycle of failure is tiresome. I would be happy with mid table mediocrity but we are way short of that. Relegation would be over and out for me utm

I get this, the apathy though is from the top down. The “just keeping the club going” mentality that the board have has filtered down into every aspect of the club. Despite the poor start to the season MJ feels like he’s the only one “glass half full” and I sense that’s a bit different after some abject performances from the players.

At work I often talk to colleagues about not being constrained by limiting beliefs, this applies to every aspect of GTFC at the moment I’m afraid and it’s really fukin frustrating!

Having started the thread, I'm really interested to see the responses.

I do believe that the malaise comes from within the club. There is a band of stooges (and I don't mean the directors exclusively) that are just trying to stand still. I have no doubt that they are trying their best but, recent history suggests that they are not making a very good job of it.

Is there a plan? I have my own thoughts but, again, it looks unlikely. In the interim, GTFC toys with our heartstrings and every home game offers another opportunity to be disappointed - there's four opportunities in the next four weeks folks!
