A defeat full stop will precipitate very ugly scenes on Saturday, even if we are "unlucky."
Just what do long suffering fans have to do to get a proper Football league club that isn't always one step away from non league?
Just how many season tickets do we have to sell, how many 6k plus attendances do we need and how many thousands of fans need to trek all over the country just to get a team that can not be in a relegation battle?
It is unfathomable as like everybody else I thought 99% of the problems started and ended with Fenty.
6k attendances it's interesting that we don't appear to be a viable league club even with attendances that are substantially higher than many at this level. Where does that leave us as we cannot realistically increase attendances by much at BP yet , bearing in mind that actual seat sales are higher than turnout, and on the other hand have no plans to develop a new stadium. Medium to long term I can't see where this is is going nomatter how this season pans out

Exactly it's soul destroying that we can't mount a challenge and are 3rd from bottom and looking in trouble I'm sick of it.

I think the problem is that the endless struggle has become tedious. Initially you enjoy the fight and all of the rallying calls but this is supposed to be a hobby and fun and for me, it is rapidly losing its enjoyment. I will be there on Saturday, but am I looking forward to it… Of course, not it will be nerve racking and I have a little faith in a team that has not managed to win this year. As much as it sickens me, nobody would be surprised by heavy defeat anymore. As a fan base, we really deserve better, particularly the away support which I find staggering,the loyalty of the away support is off the scale for me , simply brilliant Fingers crossed for Saturday, I think nobody cares how we win, it is just time to win like a normal football club, utm

A solid first 15 with no goals conceded will be the most important factor. If we don’t and follow recent home trends it’ll be a bloodbath

It will be serious redevelopment at some point if we are staying at BP because it's likely that the lifespan of at least 1 stand probably 2 will come to an end within the next 10 years .
