Huddersfield, Cardiff, Swansea, Hull, Wigan etc we were in better shape than these clubs when I grew up, its hard to think we can ever get those times back looking at their stadiums and revenues. Actually its down right depressing.

Who is the most successful fans ran club of all time in the uk? I think getting back in the league and sustaining it will be difficult without some serious luck.

You're right. FGR at the bottom of league 2, only won 3 at home, 5 in total all season. Half the fans have stopped attending home matches so there's only 72.5 fans and a dog watching now, sad times.

If by some miracle we eventually go up and the following season we are having one similar to FGR rock bottom hardly a win at home, do you think our gates will hold up then? Or drop down to the old 2.500/3000 as we would be heading straight back to square one.

Can anyone name the team ?
Thanks for posting the clip - certainly brought back great memories. I think it was Bobby Shinton who missed the two pens in the replay and we still won 3 nil - then on to Newcastle, Blyth and a great effort against Arsenal.

Very surprised with whats happend with FGR. I did think they would push on into L1 after getting out of the conference. The prospect of them back down here next season isn't very appealing.

The prospect of them being back in the National league is very appealing (as long as we're not!)

Only signing veggie players was bound to have its problems.

He should have stuck to being an Eco warrier and left football to the ones who really care. FGR sounds like an american president rather than a football team.

This years model to emulate quickly looks like last years news and it’s far too easy to forget that when you’re down. Look at Swansea. I never did think there was a Swans way (easy to forget how tedious they were in the Championship for example) but their rags to riches story means nothing now they’re approaching laughing stock. Bristol City were near the top when we beat them. Not long after they were relegated.

FGR have a fundamental problem. L2 wages. National League South or below crowds. A lovely place but in the middle of nowhere really. All of his money can’t fix that.

Our moment is coming.
Agree with everything other than 'Weird how this spins into pessimism' This is RP - we could have signed Messi and people would find reasons to not be cheerful.
FGR are in rugby country with a visionary ownership who will have to be prepared to pump much more money in before they achieve success. Milton Keynes Dons are a good example - it has taken many years of serious underpinning and still they have no heritage but they are getting there and are here to stay - whether we like it (and I dont because one of my best mates is AFC Wimbledon the real dons) or not.
With our fan base we could of course survive in L2 if not L1 but lets hopefully get there first and take our chances.
