I did that this season, but only attended a fraction of the games. Living away from the area means that attending games is a major operation and the incentive just isn't there. If Agar remains in charge I won't even renew the junior pass next season. The previous poster had it right when he said emails and suchlike were unlikely to make a difference. It's money (or lack of it) that will talk loudest.

| Ill be renewing regardless, as will the 20 or so of us who meet in walton club every week before the game. I would if we'd have lost our franchise and started playing in NL1 tbh.
I have been a supporter of Agar in the past but he's had a chance. Fall on your sword Agar fook of to Wakey and let somebody else have a go.

I think its time Agar moved on but tbh I would still go if Richard Madeley was in charge, let alone Richard Agar.'"
If Judy gets her t1ts out there may be a little excitment!
Seriously can anyone actually claim one positive that Agar has brought to the club?

| This is the third year FC have had my student pass money and nothing else. The only reason I renew my pass is because my seat is in an awesome position and I sit with friends; it's a social outing for me with the rugby becoming secondary. I withold cash by refusing to buy merchandise, and that will continue for years to come at this rate. I estimate they're about £500 down every season just from my money alone. It only takes a few more to do the same and the profit margin starts to dwindle.

| When AP took over, me, the Mrs and the inlaws felt more positive and were moving towards buying for next year. If Agar stays that decision will be revisited though.

| I haven't set foot in the KC since the playoff humiliation at Agar's - sorry I mean Rovers' -hands last year. This season I'd gone from hoping we would lose matches in order to force him out to the point of not even bothering to check the scores when we were playing. Then AP took over and gave everyone renewed hope.
If Agar manages to cling on again despite the takeover then he is a terminal disease, and I doubt I'll take any interest at all in watching another slow death next season.

| The longer Rich Agar stays the more harm he is doing to the long term future of the club, people are walking away from the club in droves now. I know with my situation that once you break the FC habit other things fill the void left behind and I can not see me ever returning to going to every match again to be honest.
If he is still in place by the end of this season its sends out all the wrong messages to the fans, the fans who have been strung along with promises of jam next season for five long years. Kath and her Krew saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship just in time leaving AP in charge of a leaky ship and a captain at the helm who has no idea what the rudder does.
We need clear strong leadership now, a re engaging with the fans and the old ways swept away part of that involves losing the current coach. AP can take the view of the previous board if he wants to, he has never struck me as being that stupid.
I am sure he will take the steps needed soon, the sooner the better

| The longer your board take to make a decision on the head coach, the more available (and decent) coaches pass by and get picked off by other clubs. This would leave you in the situation of having to appoint a coach who nobody else wanted.
I'm not sure if AP is that stupid, the decision must have been made already behind closed doors, and hopefully your new coach is already lined up.
I think the best thing a young British coach could do right now is spend a season or two in the NRL at a decent club (I would even go as far as doing it on a purely voluntary basis) and get up to date with their methods. I don't buy into this argument that our coaches are just as good as their's, the proof of the league table would suggest otherwise.

Hope you don't mind, I've robbed your avatar. I also supported Agar and at times defended him on here but it's past the time for Agar to go now.

| It's a no brainer for me and you can call me blind/stupid/whatever if you like but I've been going too long and seen too much to stop now. I know that, come what may, I will be there on match day. I've a feeling he will get a handful of games next season with the new players he's bringing in and, if he doesn't deliver the goods, he will be shown the door.

I think Agar's knowledge of the game, particularly the domestic game, and the players within it, seems to be excellent. Whilst we're on positives he seems to work very hard too and put loads of effort in. Without him we would not have got Briscoe IMO. The real question is what other players we could have had if we had a different coach, and perhaps more ambitious board. As has been posted often, we don't seem to have the contacts other clubs do and therefore the combination of this plus geography plus the lack of a "draw" as coach compromises our recruitment. And arguably makes the need for a big name coach greater.

| I'll probably get to most of the games so it would be foolish not to get a season ticket on my count.

| Ive struggled to convince myself to get up off the sofa to go the last few seasons and im finding it easier and easier to talk myself out of going,sorting my sock drawer out,descaling kettle,unblocking drains..etc, have started to gain priority.Its not even a case of not going cos the team aren't winning im just not being entertained..Ive been going since 1977 (i was very very young ) and seen some ups and downs,but i wont be getting a pass next year without a change as head coach..will still go to the odd game i suppose but that will be because the opponents might be worth watching ...im in the agar will still be here at the beginning of next year camp as well..

It's a weird thing, I miss going to what it used to be like, but it hadn't been the same for a while so I don't miss my recent experience of it.'"
Agree with you there, i miss going, but it just isnt the same anymore, the atmosphere has gone, the passion has gone, we need someone to re-ignite those passions and as soon as possible.
