They don't. It's owned by a not-for-profit company, and they used Government "Town's Fund" money to buy it.

It wouldn’t be terminal, but it might be more embarrassing than the last two put together, which was unthinkable a year ago.
To be more specific, could be terminal for the club as a FL team. I wouldn't expect most of our fans to stick by the club again, there is only so much people can take before you start to think it's a waste of time and money to be made miserable 90% of the time.

I will 100% turn my back if we are managed back to the conference, yet again, and I think hundreds, if not thousands will do the same - especially those who are 40/45 plus and have just had more than a belly full of it. Going back to the conference cannot be allowed to happen. It will kill the club. If the owners let the current manager have another game, or even 2, then they are playing Russian Roulette.

Put £50K in a brown envelope and see what happens.

I won't fully turn my back on the club but I've only missed three home games this season. I cant' be bothered to watch us against the likes of Dorking and Wealdstone again. My son is 2 and not old enough to come with me to games yet so I give up time I could spend with him to be treated to shite like today. Frankly, I'd rather save the money and play Brio with him.

As someone above pointed out the next 3 months (15 games) and going to be the most important in the club's current history. JS & AP have got to make the right decisions for the club and sentiment etc. out of the decision. If they don't they could end up with a financial millstone around their necks. I remember the words of Alan Sugar which was something like ' I wish I never got involved with running a football club' and was very pleased to sell up.

We’ve had three or four season tickets in our house for at least 10 years now. We sat down for tea tonight and, collectively, we said that we’ve had enough. You’ve got to have some sort of hope. The club is giving us none.

So off the pitch we've had some impoved food, a new website, a new badge, a glass barrier, some required backlog maintenance, integrated sprinklers, a bit of drainage works and a new portacabin.
The fanzone predated them and the badge was a freebie.
On pitch rapidly turning into a new disaster + oodles of new backroom staff presumably not improving our on pitch fortunes.
Pretty small increments on what were admittedly the previous excrement show

Not to mention a promotion, first top half league 2 finish in years and FA cup quarter final. Admittedly we are going through an unexpected rough season but ignore those facts.

We’re at the point of no return. No one is denying the positives of the last two seasons, just astounded that we could have spunked them so rapidly.
