Whatever happens in the rest of the season the club simply has to go for broke these last few games to spark and retain interest for next season. That, and a shakeup at the very top of the boardroom as well. If only.......


If only indeed..or are we that group of fans that should be grateful that we support a mid to low table League 2 side with little ambition. ..the club that's about to spunk away a load of money on floodlights that might only get used for a few years (if we get really lucky).

Sadly, i gave up after the home defeat to Cambridge, and nothing that has happened since has made me regret that decision. I'm also glad i resisted the temptation to buy a season ticket this season. As moosey pointed out in another post, there are plenty of unused season tickets out there from people who have similarly given up, and i could attend any match for free because if it, but i just don't want to any more. It's just too depressing visiting Blundell Park, which has become a massive positivity sponge, sucking the life out of all who come into contact with the club. Players and managers appear all bright eyed and bushy tailed, only to slowly wither before our eyes, and you can see the light slowly leaving them by the week. No wonder players leave here and suddenly start performing better elsewhere. We have become the Bermuda triangle of football clubs.

I'm enjoying doing other stuff with my time now and unless there is a massive shift forward at the club, i may not be back next season, which is a shame, because i have been a loyal supporter for 48 seasons. Not posting much on here any more either. There's only so many times you can go over the same old ground before it becomes tiresome.

Understandable and you will not be the only one. I can see that season ticket sales will take a huge dive, especially if the remaining games are as bad as the last few. Glass half full days are behind us eh?

No way will I be renewing mine unless some serious business is done over summer. Simple as that. Difficult enough attending as it is, but doing a 140 mile round trip on top of that is taking the urine.

My issue is not with Jolley by the way....

Same here....if we don't show some intent in the transfer market this summer I also won't be renewing my season ticket.....Mr Fenty might be happy with clawing back 200K a season and good luck to him.

Will that change if we end the season on a 13 game winless run?

As difficult as it is, I will be renewing come rain or shine. I love this club and will not abandon my support during this period and I fully respect anyone else’s alternative feelings or beliefs. I believe MJ should be allowed another half season at least to fully see his ideas out. UTM

No. Why would it? Guardiola wouldn't make any difference if he's given a rotten budget to work with.

Well a swap would be interesting!  

Do you reckon that Jolley could win the CL for Man City if he was there with Guardiola‘s budget?
