Yep. Reduced last season after 24 years to a flexi, don't think I'll bother at all in the summer. Would rather go watch non legaue or go watch a European game every 3-4 months.
Everything about this club is going backwards. And I am not being a football fan martyr as the club tells us we have to cut our cloth according and can't compete with the likes of fucking Barrow and Harrogate next season.

Have to agree. We carry on down this road, with the same hands on the tiller and the club dies. It might not be doing a Bury but it’ll end the same way. They got microwaved, we’re being slowly roasted.

They got microwaved, we’re being slowly roasted. There is so much putrid rot we could be another Chetserfield, Notts Country or Stockport, seriously. People will say we're too big or have told much history to drop out of L2, but those clubs probably thought that as well. The foundations at every aspect of this club are built on sand and we could fall apart completely if everything goes wrong at once.

I’m no fan of the idea that clubs have a natural level but if we end up where we deserve to be we’ll be getting behind part timers. Even now I’m seeing fans looking to the annual clearout as a panacea. Again. Despite it not working the last seventeen times. We’re relying on McCall’s phone contacts now.

Theres nothing like "we've got a good youth system", or "we have an owner that invests" or anything at all to be positive about. From the top - ambitionless owners who spend nothing, the same go-to-manager who's achieved nothing in his managerial career, a non-existent backroom, useless players, crap facilities, crap youth team, crap scouting, a crap pitch, a crap ground we don't even own in a third world enclave of the city, less than the absolute minimum in general club staff... etc etc - no saleable assets, no talent we can look to coming through, no long term plan or ideas for anything. And around all that is the easily pleased fanbase. Just bumble along from one season to another. Look at the Leeds at the moment and its painful to watch. Everything about the club is Premier League ready. What are we in comparison? Worthless in every aspect.

Listen to yourselves. Bunch of whining cunts. Why don't you go support Man City or something?*

Did you see that Lyke Ayling goal and the limbs in the South Stand? Or Nahki scoring for Bristol? Or Brentford twatting five past Sheffield Wednesday?
And what the fuck do we get? So, so sick of it.

I'll probably renew despite everything, my lad wants to and we enjoy going off and doing our own thing. Dont lump us with the JHTHACTS or JGBTLFFS crew though.
Hope plenty dont renew, if it will help turn things round.

My post on Widthofapost.
This club has all the hallmarks of one that’s going under. We have nothing, absolutely nothing to cling to.
The ground? Its knackered, we dont own it or anything in it. The pitch is a disgrace, the changing rooms an embarrassment, the area totally unwelcoming, a redundant stand at one end, tired and scruffy stands on the other three sides.
The infrastructure? Haha, what infrastructure? No chief scout, no training ground, no board of directors, no plan, no idea.
The owner and CEO? Neither want to be here, promises of money to spend are bullshit, track record is one of penny pinching and making do. Why would that change now? Rupp was conned, he needs to write it off and walk away. Anything is better than the slow death he’ll preside over if he doesn’t.
The fans? Too many are just happy to have a club to support, and eagerly lap up the dross they are served week after week, year after year. But other than that theres certainly not enough who are prepared to pay the going rate to watch the club.
The players? I like Connor Wood. The rest can get lost. But we’ll lose him to a team like Fleetwood, who are now a step up from VP.
We repeatedly sign players no one else wants yet seem surprised when they’re awful. We spend the same as other clubs but because theres no plan, no ability within the club, no knowledge, no skill, no idea, we spend it on rubbish. We trust our budget to a guy signing players hes worked with before, or someone he plays golf with has worked with before. Then when it inevitably goes tits up we do the same with someone else. We dont have a cogent, considered plan. We dont even have a stupid, batshit crazy plan. There is no plan.
McCall will get a reduced budget in the summer, we’ll sign another set of nobodies, we’ll be facing a relegation battle next year. Before you know it we’ll be Stockport.
At least Bury went out on a high.

The WOAP review from yesterday is almost bang on - the only bit I disagree with is the assumption that our reasonable home form and the return of McCall will keep sales respectable. I'm really not so sure. I could very easily see no more than 7 or 8k being sold. But it needs to be even less to force change. When only 3k sign up, that sort of thing demands action.

We bang on about infrastructure, a crap ground, no scouting etc because it's been exposed as being as poor as it is.
The worst thing is in the 6 years from being promoted to being relegated, all we spent money on was the changing rooms to bring them up to the bare minimum and the pitch which is still dreadful.
We invested in nothing else - it actually looks like we penny pinch even more in terms of non-playing staff, commercial staff etc. We had unprecedented worldwide exposure with 2 incredible cup runs but have thrown it all away. Now we're just known as another toxic club ruined by clueless foreign owners.
It just feels like March 2009 again. Blown a great position in a poor league while our off field infrastructure was brutally shown up for being as backward as it is.
Foundations built on sand.

I genuinely can't see us getting past 6000 the tide has turned It won't drop that low, that would take 2 or 3 seasons. Our home form dictates season tickets to a large degree, our away followings are largely poor. The cheap prices will persuade a lot of doubters. Paints a picture of how our fan base is more than happy to accept mediocrity though.
