Sad to say but a few posters on here have the "Billy Big Boll*x" attitude to the club and it's position in the FL.
I’ve seen the term “once great club” used a few times which I find entertaining.

Was thinking the same. We've got to stop living on past glories, some fans are starting to sound like Liverpool fans 😂
Unfortunately some people still seem to be stuck in the 70's and 80's or reliving the double Wembley visits. People need to live in the here and now, time to face up to the reality of what the club is and stop acting like we are some massive club punching below our weight. In the last 15 years our best league finishing position was finishing 4th in League Two and in the last 10 it was finishing 14th in League Two. We'd be lucky to make the playoffs right now I think if we finish in the top half of the table as a mediocre League Two club we'd be making progress.

Oh yes, the last 15 years have been a blast. Our best year in that time was when we were managed by Slade...just about says it all.

Top of the league Liverpool, currently returning to their past glories? - while Town proudly avoid relegation to the Conference for the 2nd season? Our glories look set to remain in the past, comparisons to other clubs do us no favours and can't conceal the truth.

Unless there's some miracle, Bradford City look certain for the drop - rooted to the bottom and lost 8 out of thier last 9 games, they should sell out the away end next season.

The ultimate oxymoron. I'm a realist and a pragmatist. I want the best for our club but also realise what little affect I can have on it's progress except for attending matches and knowing that things will improve.

Knowing things will improve? What basis do you have to be optimistic? Our club is so neanderthal, we’re even replacing floodlights that were secondhand in the first place.

Well we are safe and it's been a frustrating season of glimpses of what could be in between some pretty awful games.
The fact that we have breathing space and a trim squad means M.J. will not have to get rid of to much excess baggage like last time so the wage bill must be in Fentys accountants ball park.
Jolley needs to be shrewd and like Buckley look around for a few gems whilst using the academy.
We all know Fenty and the board will not throw millions in the melting pot so it is what it is.
The freemo project is just a pipe dream that we have seen so many times before the fact they have spent 300k? on new floodlights tells it's own story.
Finally well done to M.J. and the team for securing League status once again albeit a disappointing season but we still look a lot better than Slade and his efforts with a mass of journeymen that wage bill must have been colossal.
