| Quote Sarf Essex Taff="Sarf Essex Taff"Perhaps a starting point would be not describing people who are not attending as fairweather. Many of them have supported the club over many years, few of which have proved to be that successful. Being appalled by the management of the club, the performances on the field and the dreadful way the support has been treated does not make a supporter fairweather. As the most recent attendance was 250 that would mean the club's support is not barely more than fairweather now'"
Well said Taff, I tend to describe myself as supporting the club through thin and thinner! I'd love to have the chance to have been a 'fairweather' supporter, just ain't been a lot of fair weather for years now! |

I don't want it to happen but it looks inevitable to me.
Most of the fans left are cut from the same cloth as the owner.
Not as expensive cloth admittedly but still part of the problem. |

This is why they don't matter a jot.
To all intents & purposes there isn't a fanbase to speak of.
Or maybe David Hughes had a Year Zero plan all along.  |

Fellas that's why I said it's not a dig at those people, sport is sport, if you are constantly watching a team lose then yep folk will drift away and find it harder and harder to justify the financial outlay and yep made harder by the geographical spread of our fans.
Lots of fans of lots of sports teams can be classed as fairweather, it's life, if your not enjoying the entertainment then other things take priority, not meant as an insult.
As for being cut of the same cloth as the owner, please expand!
Wonder what the cut off number is for a fan Base is then?

Seems a rather patronising and simplistic point of view. The club didn't lose fans because they were fair weather. It lost fans for several reasons but primarily because they have continuously moved around, have not promoted the club to new fans and are fundamentally badly run. In particular, the club treated fans with contempt with their approach to the 2014 season. |

I doubt he had a plan (unless it involved tax planning), but he has basically mismanaged the club to the extent that probably no-one else will ever want to take it over. Unless, of course, they too have a lot more money than sense. |

Right, so the fans that stayed are part of the problem, whereas your sniping from the sidelines is presumably part of the solution. You are so delusional and self-centred that Donald Trump comes across as rational by comparison |

Sniping from the sidelines is less delusional than banking on the bloke who ran the club into the ground to now save it.
Although in your case you're more defeatist than apologist I'll concede.

This is about the Open Day and shirts, but as ever we just go back to the few and one problem that they can only see.

There is only one problem with the club and that is imaginary? Really? |
