Reading that has chilled me to the bone.
Lets not forget this is less than two months after fans were allowed back and is literally our fifth away day. Wow, we really are in very choppy waters here.

Hope not. He should keep his gob shut now until he actually has something to say.
Lots of recycled words and hot air in the latest videos.

Iâve given my support home and away all season, but I will not be going to Exeter now this weekend. Nothing appears to have improved on the dire we have endured over the last 5 or 6 yearsâŚ

This is really sad , probably the most powerful expression of how fans are starting to feel , much more so than our petty squabbles between each other , as has already been said I hope this news makes it back to the boardroom , would be good to see any sort of reaction , although I wonât hold my breath .
Itâs not a romantic notion , there are several examples of it actually happening and working
You know whatâs funny, we have changed our owner, changed our manager, changed our football strategy, changed our first team players, changed our formation and we are still dog - there is one last thing to change and thatâs our attitude as fans towards the players. Imagine how much JC and NC must dislike us to celebrate the way they did, the last player I seen clap our fans playing for another club was Andy Taylor and that was years ago! If my son had a bad game playing football, I wouldnât berate and abuse him of all over social media - because what really comes from that other than me venting my own feelings. I honestly think itâs time, wether it be until the end of October or November we as fans try and be more positive, it might help turn our fortunes! I mean what have we got to lose we are 2 places of rock bottom of the football league!!!

Thatâs the least of the worries at the moment
So we are all supposed to play nicely when itâs absolutely piâs* poor on and off the pitch , as fans our only real outlet to vent is at the game .
You say we should stay positive , but thatâs a two way street , they need to give us something to be positive about.
If the footballâs ok it papers over the cracks , but when itâs not then as a paying fan you are surely entitled to say what you think , obviously within acceptable social guidelines.
In my business if I donât provide the expected service I fully expect to receive a reaction from my clients, itâs basically the same thing .

TAMWORTH has a point and so do you. The lack of success over the past decade plus is very frustrating and I understand that. The overall performance of the team is simply not good enough.In using the word team I include all those on the football side of the business however what I donât get is the over the top criticism of individual players. Following Saturdayâs game for example some people were posting that Osedebe was faking injury!!! We have people writing players off after just a few games on a regular basis. I think everyone of this yearâs signings have been pilloried with the exception of the goalkeeper. I just donât get it. I suppose its what social media is about though and it happens in other areas of life too.
I would just ask everyone to be a little kinder to our players who despite our poor performances have shown no sign to me that they are quitters.

Regrettably, despite your optimism most of the âplayersâ are! When things go wrong it is plain to see how the heads drop, and the meagre enthusiasm collapses, something ainât right at this club, and, unless someone unravels this malaise we are heading towards the oblivion of non league.
I get your point, all I am saying is what has our attitude done to help the club? All we do is make the players dislike us! Why would they want to perform better when they go on Twitter and see Dave from Aldridge is calling osadebe a lazy so and so after he has just given 110% and obviously tried his hardest. All we are doing is giving the management team a harder job as they not only have to pick them up from a defeat but also from the pointless abuse they are taking.

Fair play for lumping 4,000+ match going supporters into one group with exactly the same actions/mindset

I donât think we will reach the giddy heights of 10th this season but to completely write us off so soon is ridiculous.
Remember what Barnsley did afew years back?

People comparing us to Barnsley, people comparing us to BARCELONA 
ridiculous. Just stop and think for a second - these are clubs that have demonstrated consistently over the years that they have people in the board room that understand the modern game.
What exactly makes anyone think that we are in the same stratosphere? What have you seen that gives you the belief that we are capable of operating like Barnsley?! Money is going missing, assets are sold at the fist opportunity with little or no thought given to the risk of us losing our football league status - we are continually told porkies to illicit hard earned cash - when was the last time Barnsley were second from bottom of the football league?!
I love my fellow fans and itâs the only reason I still post, please please get real and look at whatâs in front of us - thats all I can keep saying. LOOK. I wish I knew what the answer is to enact change, but letâs just stop with the crossing of our fingers and hoping for the best.
Some of this is just absolutely bananas haha.

Iâm actually lumping the 100 fans that decide to slate our team over social media. That 100 fans probably have a bigger impact on the players than the 4K at the game⌠One thing we all have in common is we are loyal passionate fans, i just donât get why we canât support them through the tough times.

But thatâs exactly the same at any other football club.

Duck me we have a fan base of around 4k and our 2 supporters groups cant even get on and you talk about fan owned 
one group is busy building a non league football club at their local drinking whole and the other group would run the club the same way it is now, Cliques and the like.

Couldnât agree more , said it for ages there should only be one supporters group .
Regards having a fan owned club no one said it would be easy , but honestly apart from substantial investment from somewhere can you see anything but perpetual struggle .
Even if there were new money available I donât think Iâd be entirely happy entrusting it to the current board
Having said all that Iâm pretty sure that the current budget is perfectly adequate to give us a much better squad than we have . This can only be down to the combined efforts of the DOF and management team
Right I can see my point is going no where, I am very confident that if we managed to find a way to interview ex players from the past 3/4 years they would say our support is extremely toxic compared to other clubs.

Did you not hear the Bristol fans singing " this is embarrassing"
Obviously before they scored
