    All words to describe my feelings with this club at the moment.

    Been a season ticket for almost 25 years and I honestly can’t bring myself to go to the games anymore, I supported them through thick and thin and it’s not even just the results it’s the match day experience as a whole. Myself and many other season ticket holders all feel the same, I know plenty who couldn’t even bring themselves to go Saturday. I’ve never felt this disconnected from the club which I’ve loved since I was a kid.

    The board and owners currently in charge are making this club a mess, from the match day experience, the atmosphere, the connection to the club, the signings and ambition there’s just nothing at all that gives off any hope.

    I don’t normally post as much on here anymore but tonight I just feel like packing in until this club gets some sort of connection and purpose back into it, and that stems from those at the top table!

    You will find it easy to stay away once you start. Far less painful watching from afar.

    It was the day out and taking the lad to watch game which was the pull, but even that is just a chore these days the match day experience is dross. We both would much rather go elsewhere for the day!

    He’s only used three words so was the fourth performance no comment.

    Don’t worry, there are plenty of things to do on Saturdays. Once you’re out of the habit of going it’s hard to regain the motivation and there isn’t much increase in attraction. Lost the inspiration about 4 years ago and haven’t really missed it.

    It just seems the buzz has gone mate, since the Wembley play off game the clubs just regressed from the stands to the pitch.

    It’s actually impressively bad. Intention questioning bad. If it works out, it’s by luck rather than strategy.

    I honestly think I could have started on Jan 1st with zero contacts or professional football recruitment experience and done a better job than this.

    It's fair to say now we haven’t taken strides forward, nor even stood still, we have rowed backwards. Like, seriously, backwards. I'm pretty sure we're further from our goal now than when we started. I'm picturing us all in a boat, except instead of oars, we're using spoons, and the boat is actually a giant, leaky colander.

    Will you go down with your colander, captain?

    Sadly you are correct.
    I feel exactly the same and I think it all started in lockdown when nobody could go and we watched it on tv.
    That was the start of the rot.
