There were 5854 there on Saturday with 711 kids in for free (seen quite a few saying they loved it and will be back).  Not quite 20% of 5000 is it? We’ve only had 1 below 5k all year.

If it’s not all about Fenty, why do you hark back to his glorious spell every time you post here? This is a bloke who said fans could pay what they liked and didn’t break 6000 from what I can remember.

With all the good feeling and great start, we get 5000 fans when giving away nearly 20% for free. Come on, it's hardly good, is it? Plus it's not even about Fenty, is it. It's about the only thing that really matters is performance on the pitch and since that went mammaries up the gates have quickly dropped and will continue to do so without something to bring back some optimism.


Fenty was a failure as far as football is concerned . 3 relegations into non league ( yes we were saved by massive points deductions on one occasion) . To start judging the new owners against Fenty after a few months is just pathetic and rather immature tbh . So grow up a bit and go play with your friends . FF was certainly right about you all

Just catching up with this. I didn’t buy one but my mate did and I misheard how much he paid - £4.50 seemed excessive to me! Whilst everyone is free to spend their money as they wish (and I will happily pay a bit more than Docks charge in their own bar at BP) I’m sorry but that is an absolute rip off. We can do better than this.


Yep, you can get fish and chips for less than that.

skaface has already pulled apart your pathetic maths/lies, so I will just confine myself to pondering what the crowd would've been like if your best mate had still been in charge - i'll start the guessing at sub 3000

For all of you making stupid comments about scotch eggs, i'm just wondering whether the fact that it's a much better match day experience has meant the attendances have held up much better than might be expected after such an appalling run

By so many accounts the staff are feeling it and strong sources say a letter of complaint went to the very top.

Don’t shoot the messenger and I don’t understand why so many on here are so protective about this.

Whatever the maths say, there's one thing that's pretty obvious and this is that the budget is either just as bad as under Fenty or incredibly badly mismanaged. The fact that we wouldn't pay a little bit more money to keep probably our 2nd best performer of the season and instead decided to gamble on more loans and 6 months signings makes me think it's much more about money than anything else.

And the stupid thing is, you all talk like I'm against the new owners for pointing out that they're doing the exact same things that Fenty got lambasted for. Arguing with people on the internet, same crappy budget. Just because it's somebody else doing it doesn't make it any better because you dislike them less.

The problem you’ve got in pointing to attendances as a barometer of success is that there has only been 1 game at BP this season where the attendance dropped below the average of 4599 Fenty achieved in 19/20. And that’s in non-league where you’re averaging probably 70/80 away fans rather than 300-400.

So even with 3 wins in 14, the new board are pulling in more fans than Fenty did a division higher. You might be advised to stop using Fenty as a yardstick by which to judge the new board because it’s unlikely that they’ll ever be worse under any metric.


Anything to do with the televised games during lock down and some getting the bug, plus covid let me out again!! & also the great start we had, plus the change at the top. Won’t stay like this though with baloney about infrastructure, core values and a social experiment, when dishing up crap on the pitch.

Nice when it came together at the start though 👍👍
