    So six points off play offs and a chance after the most horrid start to a season on memory. But with no fans to celebrate just at home would you sacrifice promotion this season for a party season next year??? I’m still at the stage of as long as we don’t go down, finish as high as we can is an incredible achievement after the start.

    I'm in the @Fordy117@Fordy117 camp on this one, in so much as we shouldn't be in this division. The fact that we are is entirely of our own making.
    So getting promotion only puts us back where we were three seasons ago.
    If that buffoon hadn't started meddling we could be so much higher up the league.
    So promotion this season and a monster party next season when we clinch promotion to the Championship.

    100% promotion this season without fans, the sooner we are out of the basement league the better

    The issues at this club in the last 4-5 years is down to those in the boardroom and those close, in decision making capacity headed by that bloody idiot, Rahic.

    I understand exactly what you infer but when you say, "The fact that we are is entirely of our own making" is certainly not down to the fans.

    It's down to the decision makers, primarily Rahic.

    This has to be the stupidest question ever asked.
    I know, let’s forfeit promotion because it’s 100% guaranteed next season...lol

    It would be nice to return to VP watching L1 football.

    There'll be a promotion party in London on that May bank holiday anyway. :cool::party:

    Fans do have a part though.

    Fans shouldn't ever lower expectations from the club. We are failing currently and have for years. Off the pitch the club has been an embarrassment.

    Some fans are just happy to tick. However, them same fans just think a mobile phone is just a phone!! Out of date and not in the real world of today.

    I see your point Fordy117. Some of our fanbase seemed happy enough to have the financier on board with little expectation, even non critical of the regression at this club.

    I don't get that particular line of thinking.

    You mean the "I'm just happy to have a club to support" brigade !!! I know the founder member and it's taken him three months (and 27 points) to even start getting over Stuart's demise.

    Promotion first will cause a knock-on effect on the season ticket take-up,

    which should help the club continue to bring in better players.

    100% this season.

    It's ludicrous we are in this league. Get out ASAP and concentrate on getting back to the top end of L1 and kicking on from there towards the Championship

    Sod July/ August. Restrictions are lifted on 21st June. That's when we all congregate at VP to watch Connor Sellars fall off his Datsun Cherry.

    Never lower expectations and never ease off if you have your objective in sight. Take the opportunities when they are there for the taking.

    So, in answer to the question. I'll take promotion this season thank you and push on again next season with some momentum behind us.
