Reality Check

The Wrexham game was supposedly going to be a sell out. The gate was 7728 and 1128 came from Wrexham meaning the home attendance was 6600, just over the ST sales. This was not a sell out game as witnessed by the empty seats around the ground, probably ST's who didn't turn up.

Looking at the 7 games in March, Barrow is still to come, most expected 6 points at best but we have 9 points so far with the game in hand. Barrow might be a tough game and I think a point is achievable.

We have 7 games in April and victories should be obtainable from the Bradford, Newport, Colchester and Swindon games with the hope of a point or 2 from the others. Colchester do not look like they have a good run in, nor do Sutton while FGR have 4 away games out of their 6 games in April.

Hopefully, by the time we play Colchester, we should have secured our place in L2 for next year, It may be close and squeaky bum time but I'm sure we will survive.

But it was a sell out game. The number of tickets available was in single figures. But some season ticket holders didn’t attend or release their tickets. There is definitely an issue with tickets available being a poor view or just single seats on their own. It will definitely put off floating fans and is something they need to look at.

Loads of empty seats around me in the Upper all STH it's clear that the release your seat thing isn't very appealing to fans tk bother.The empty seats were far more visible after the HT whistle and when I left on 75 mins the Findus bar was packed solid.

I think the run ins are largely meaningless, hence our unexpected win against MK and Colchesters point at Mansfield.

It's will to win and momentum at this stage.

What is a reality check is just how poor we are. Honestly to assemble a squad as bad as this takes some doing.

A whole re-think is required for the summer recruitment as our support deserves a lot better than having players who look like they are playing with a balloon in a gale.

To be fair they were playing in a gale yesterday! Recruitment as you say is poor but to actually select three midfield players who are incapable of running at anything beyond jogging pace is quite frankly unbelievable and unacceptable.

Without exception, every team we've played against this season looked fitter than us, some of our players are blowing out their arses after 20 minutes.
Maybe that's because with them the ball is doing the work whereas with us we are constantly chasing shadows.
Without the pressing of Danny rose we are cloggers and plodders at best.

That squad is 100% non league we should really be bottom but a really bad fgr and sutton team are keeping our heads above water.

I’ve released my ST on 6 occasions this season due to work and other commitments. I release it a week in advance, it’s next to a non ST seat so an opportunity to have 2 next to each other, and of those 6 times it’s sold just once.

Makes me wonder what goes on clearly last week there was a scramble for seats yet come kick off at least 500 empty seats dotted about.

It’s bizarre, if it is ST holder not releasing their seat then they absolutely should, the club couldn’t make it any easier and there’s some decent incentives as well. I released my ST for the Wrexham game on the Monday before it as I had tickets for the England Brazil game, yet it still didn’t sell apparently.
