I honestly believe we have taken this model as far as we can. We either accept that & where we are, or we look to change our stars as they say.

Said the same thing 5 years ago. The only big thinking is we need a 16,000 stadium. Well wtf for at this level?

We need a stadium that is going to work for the club and provide revenue outside match days. A gym, hotel, parking.......

At least a study into it. Whilst the Racecourse has history it also has huge draw backs. Lets get a sense of reality to allow us to progress and move forwards.

Investment needed sooner rather than later.
The board must listen to offers and make it public knowledge.

Have all have been promoted during our tenure, i think most would consider the above ‘proper clubs’

Arguably you could add Newport/ AFC wimbledon to the list as ‘proper clubs’


Im sick of the excuses , something Needs to change at our club

We have underachieved but which of those clubs have had to deal with as much as we have during their time down here?

Yes I do, in its current form.
I’ve been a member from the start and believe there would be no club if not for the WST. However, I believe we have to evolve, we either spend the rest of our days festering in this league bemoaning our luck/villains/unfair budgets etc. and hoping for one lucky season (think the trust has already had & blown that season) Or, we find a way of competing and move on. I’m sorry I have enough of whinging about our more recent past and, being grateful for just having our club, we have to move on.

Fair enough. Not sure if there's an alternative on the table at the moment, though.

I think we all know we need some inspiration from somewhere as at the moment we are just treading water

ER. That violin has been played for that long its well out of tune now.

Without being critical what we had to deal with was put right years ago and we have to draw a line under it, get closure and now move on.

We all need to pull together and have a plan to get out of this league. Let go of these old, old issues ffs.

For all the moaning about being in this league, people would moan just as much in league 2.
