If he had an ounce of decency he would write £200k off the loans anyway in respect of the shares gifted to him by the trust. Can't someone track him down and ask him point blank to explain his position on those shares? The problem is that we know he doesn't.

Attendance was just over 3400. My view is that behind the scenes the club was poorly run from way back not just the Fenty years and the brilliance of AB masked a long term trend of decline. Blundell Park has been a shithole for a long time for a start. 1878 have put in more investment in months than previous have done for years, save the enforced change to all seater. The bounce we are experiencing is not just results - people can see change for better in the BP environment and are responding. And it just takes seconds to choose and book your seat. This makes me think there is more potential out there - the business case for a new stadium is starting to be made.

It was a long time ago. Many things have changed in football, the economy and life since then. The point is, at a comparable point in the first season in this division, we have found 3000 more people to attend. That game in 2010 is a more valid point of comparison both in time, football position and life in general. 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.

When I started I think it was 6 quid on the Pontoon a couple of years later it was 12. We employed someone at one point to try and increase attendances but I think the best they could come up with was a park and ride scheme that wasn’t really used. The amount of aggro in the 80s and early 90s probably didn’t help attendances either

I know several people who haven’t been for years who were there Tuesday and are going tomorrow. Why? Because they see a team that are trying their best for a club that’s trying their best. Respect for the paying public- didn’t need to be a rocket scientist John.
