Is Fenty that big of a problem in the grand scheme of things? If the majority thought the same then we’d be more vocal at the season end and renew season tickets.
For the record i’m in the side of a fresh start at the top is well overdue but we need to do it together. Fan power is so strong or can be if done properly 💪
Who is the common denominator then? 16 years a director, most of them as major shareholder and/or chairman - three relegations which could have been four, even 5. He's been so thick-skinned over anything that remotely challenges his stranglehold that further outside investment would be futile. He has put himself in a position where no-one can even be bothered to challenge him & surrounded himself with a board of crusty old nodders. No-one is going to change anything until he gets fed up with it - his plaything, vanity project or whatever you want to call it.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. We, the fans need to do something about it because he won’t remove himself. This is what I’m getting at

So how do you think we can effect change?
I am surprised, no amazed, no gobsmacked there has not been a concerted "Fenty out" chant at home games. I cannot believe the majority of home fans are happy with his regime, and its running of the club. I must be wrong though, as bar pockets of Fenty out chants there has been a deafening silence from the majority. I thought the tide would change when Woods had his ridiculous run and the board kept him on; I thought the tide would turn when we went down; I thought the tide would turn when we spent 6 years in non-league but still the majority at home games seem to sit there unmoved. I don't know what the answer is, perhaps people have been fed the idea so often that if it wasn't for Fenty we would not have a club at all.

First thing we need to do is to assess the real appetite for change. Until then we’ll just continue to have this debate
What about several people outside the ground asking the fans what they want in a poll and then presenting the answers to the club, the Trust, the Telegraph and anybody who will listen. At least then then we will know what the majority of fans want. If the answer is for change then at least we can start to put pressure on the board to leave. If the majority are happy with the status quo then nothing changes until JF decides enough is enough,

I don't think you actually need a poll - most if not all want him gone but are now so apathetic that they can't even be bothered because they know (as you do) that only John Fenty himself can effect change.

This is exactly whats required. Just one poll with one simple question to every GTFC fan but at a time that won’t potentially effect things on the pitch. I.e straight after the final whistle at last game of the season. This way the Town and the board will get to know where the fans actually sit.

A poll will highlight the fact officially and publicaly for people to get the message

What about the thousands that have already been driven away? You won't be able to ask them outside the gates of BP. Surely their opinions count as much as they are the fans that need to be tempted back..

Not really, The Old Codger makes a similar point to be fair.

Agree. It needs to be an online poll set up by the right group
