'We will be cut adrift by Halloween and there’s no way- even with a new gaffer- we will get out of it. Squad is a complete shambles and they resemble nothing of a league 2 team. Changing formations and bringing in different players is like rearranging the deck chairs in the titanic.'

This comment was my personal favourite from that thread. A joy to watch this.

I'm led to believe that their chief scout is Swann's son.

If they go down, I doubt they'd ever get back up. National league is their level, perhaps Nation League North or possibly lower. Tin pot ground they don't even own and no fans.

I think it's safe to say the Swann family know absolutely nothing worth knowing about football.

I know we say that we had it bad, but have they got it worse?

As someone who’s very close friend is a home and away proper scunny fan and football fan (never mocked us when we went down and was the first person to congratulate me when we went up) I’d argue they’re heading for a worse situation than us…granted, ours was bad for a very long time and had Fenty been able to sneak his bent mate in to the club who knows how bad it would’ve got but it’s certainly a mess at scunny.

My mate is convinced had town managed to get going a couple of games earlier last year when PH came in then we’d have stayed up at their expense…

Swann prefers to act like the big time Charlie at the races . Obviously he’s laughed at by the real horse racing fraternity

Does one of those ‘real racers’ have anything to do with another lower league team from this region?

They are only a two points off third bottom and there is a very long way to go.

We undoubtedly have a better team than they have, but this of one hell of a tough league to escape from.  It is easier for them to stay up than it is for us to go up.

So I think some of the gloating is a little premature. Let's see where we all are in May.
