Losing the fans

[Oli Wagkz]

I know we have the hardcore but I am seriously worried we will drop another 5-10k off if we don’t go up

It’ll happen mate and you can’t really blame anyone for chucking it in

Clubs fucked man, we have no chance of going up this season unless we improve massively in Jan. We have beat only 1 top half team in league 1 in 2019, it’s absolutey rank.

you are in the 3rd tier of English football, its hard enough getting decent players /managers to the north east when in the premiership let alone the 3rd tier, all this drivel on her about " should have got BSA in " etc is absolutely unreal tbh, you are where you are, need to just knuckle down & crack on, a 3rd tier club, with a 3rd tier manager & players ( not 1 of these players are good enough for the championship if you get promoted) sadly , that's just the way it is

 

[humbug]

i've been going for about 40 years and always said it's only ill health or money that'd stop me and that's still the case but it's getting harder to watch this turgid shite.
tbh i'd miss the crack more than the footy.

Today I thought we had a fair old number of fans who care with much more expectation than they did when they left. The die hards that are mentioned will only take so much. It’s depressing, it’s sad, at how this club now looks like it’s just waiting to be lowered into the ground, tombstone already etched with ‘used to be a canny club, won stuff once’ as our epitaph. 8k people there today and again you heard more guys, groans, laughs. 100 Gillingham fans (when they did sing) made more noise. The place is slowly becoming the home theatre you’ve built with twenty seats and only you spend the time to sit there and watch shit b movies. There’s more to life than football for sure, but some of us are surely sadists

players even at 3rd tier level dont want to play in the north east,its the shit hole of eng-er-lund,but wait a minute brexit will bring the sunlit uplands and all will be well in sun-der-land

It’s not comparable at all tbh in my opinion. At this level most players would want to come and play for us really (if the wages are right). The BSA stuff is right but f***ing Haway man, knuckle down... are we expected to just accept mid table league 1.

Parkinson was the cheap safe option. They would have been better sacking the scouts, the squad we have is f***ing rank.

Cheap not so sure about safe

 

[Fletch]

Our recruitment has been a disgrace
The owners have lost most of the goodwill built up last season , they have made a right balls up of it .

 

[Fetch Fletch]

This lift crack is embarrassing like.

not as embarrassing as the two fellas who took us ower

Sadly, this is correct.

Not proud of it but I didn't go today and won't be going in future if the weather's shite.
There ya gan. I've said it.

With only 8k today it suggests the majority feel the same

Don’t blame you mate

 

[Lexingtongue]

they have lost interest, their gamble didnt pay off last year and he cant stomach criticism.

He's like a kid who loves getting the praise for bringing his new official Premier League ball to a kick about then takes it home the moment things aren't going his way. Bizarre.

That's what you are doing now mate & that's what you are if you like it or not

It's cathartic.

More of you should try it.

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Why should the fans part with their hard earned cash if the owners don't want to part with theirs?

 

[andymulesafc]

I see the crowd was less than 8000. That is a big warning - ominous. Stewart get a professional in to run the club. Not a mascot or non-league man. Go and get Brian Marwood no matter what the cost.

that seems to be the problem.

 

[Nicky Winterwasp]

They had the chance to get the fans on side when Ross left. They could and should have brought someone in that would show real ambition. Instead they went for the cheap option again.

If they don’t spend and spend a good sum in January then we are in this league again come August.

I've already missed more games this season than I did the whole of last season. If its league one again next season it'll be at least 4 less season card renewals from me and my lot. I am sure there are plenty others who don't suffer from blind faith who will do the same.
