Time to protest

Quoted from Grim74

It’s alright talking about protests on here but do the fishy posters seriously think that this fishy hatred of Fenty is a general consensus amongst the other 5000 town fans?
Delusional is a word that springs to mind!

Yeah spot on.

Remember the fishy protesting about the Checkatrade format.

Your mate John pointed out that we were the noisy minority.

How embarrassed were we when the non fishyites turned up in their thousands.  

Oh.......

Hang on .......

Quoted from ginnywings

Yes we have been as bad in the past, but was it for such a long period, or was it just the ebb and flow you get with lower league clubs? Fans expect a bad season or two, but we never get the good ones that balance it out and keep you going. We can't even compete in this league, which given our fan base is unforgivable.

This is it for me.
I would like to know from the board why we cannot compete at this level and I do not agree that decent players can't be attracted to this area. Just ask others who have come here in the past and actually settled in the area

Erm, Saturday's attendance was nearly 2,000 down from the opening day.

What do you think their view is?

A protest, and I presume you mean yet another one against Fenty, by lowering the attendance is all well and good but it's a long term policy. He's not going to go based on a few slightly lower attendances which will go up again, protest or not, as soon as (or if) we start to win a few.

If anything, what is needed is an even higher attendance to roar the lads on to getting a few wins, they are demoralised enough already with six defeats and Jolley's management, they don't need even emptier seats.

I will however take part by not attending any home games this season  

Protest, whether it be vocal or non-attendance, can only really be detrimental to the players who seem demoralised already.

The issue of the board will not go away, the only thing that we have learned in the last 12 months is that we discovered that Stephen Marley is as incompetent as the others. We are stuck with a regime that has spent 16 years trying to justify financial strangulation.

Seriously though.....what good would a protest do....it didn't change anything last time did it......unfortunately......

This just proves my point ......100s turn out!!!
Absolutely pathetic.

   Does anyone have a straight and accurate answer to this simple question :  How does Town's playing budget compare with the other 23 teams in League Two?  We already know we have a bigger fan base that most of them, but what about the money given to the manager to create his squad?
   I honestly can't decide on where blame for the current situation should be without knowing the answer to that question. We may have a manager who's a bit out of his depth, but it's equally possible we may have an excellent young manager who is simply not being provided with the tools he needs to do his job effectively. I wonder how so called "great" managers would get on if they suddenly found themselves trying to work miracles on a shoestring budget at the wrong end of League Two.

I am right behind you with that Swin,

See you at Cambridge mate.

I have no idea but he has doled out more 2 year deals than any manager in the last few years so I guess it was reasonable, I guess as ever  what most supporters would see as "competitive" differs from what the board does
