    I think that element happens at all clubs. With larger fanbases, it happens more. I genuinely don't think its different elsewhere, though perhaps historically amateur clubs may be different in fairness.

    Completely agree with you. Crazy as it seems, it wouldn't take much of an investment either from him as the club has a good grounding right now.

    Rubbish of course money is a big advantage however we had easily enough resources last season to get out of the league we are in and we have enough again this time.

    We didn’t win two on the trot at home often last season

    There is a lot to be positive about at City, certainly behind the scenes, and has others have said our young footballers are doing really well. However, it is at the business end we are failing.

    I didn't say it was down to the mindset of the fans, what I said was, I personally wouldn't buy the club as I wouldn't want to be told I was useless every time we lost a game or had a poor season, and that would happen because football is difficult.

    Buy a club like Harrogate and you're not going to get your car smashed or whatever happened to Mark Lawn, or abuse sent to your mobile like happened with Sparks, or threatened while you're playing a friendly overseas like Harry Lewis because someone made up an imaginary story about a transfer that never happened.

    I've been to a few critical away games in my time, two at Carlisle, and I find our fan base a bit disgusting.

    Bigger fan bases create more idiots or do you think that clubs of the same size as City have Angel fans who don't say a thing ?????
    Maybe the act like they do because they get that pissed to try and blank out what shite is about to be served up.

    Those types would be better stopping in the pub.

    I never understood getting pissed at lunch time, but plenty seem to...

    I was talking to a Carlisle fan at a music festival in Bridlington over the weekend - he said exactly the same thing to me....

    Not anymore!

    We overtook Crawley, and remain perfect at home.

    Is Fortress Valley Parade at last becoming a reality...?

    Let's not forget Crewe were free-scoring and unbeaten in all competitions prior to today.

    My positive thought tonight is that I’ll only have to endure Hughes-ball 21 more times in the league at home, maximum (I don’t bother with aways) now.

    if he extends the pain it’s because we’re going up, in which case things must have improved.

    fail to go up and he’ll surely not be getting a new deal.

    If I won the $1 billion jackpot on the US lottery (I think it was over a billion recently anyway), I might buy a football club, but it wouldn't be this one.

    Far, far, far too toxic, far too demanding, far too impatient.

    I'd probably invest in Harrogate Town or something, and I'm not being obtuse saying this, I genuinely wouldn't buy us even if I had Elon Musk money.

    He was useless last season when he refused to sell the club to the Wagmi con men.

    TBH I go for 'something to do' and if it doesnt involve a fee beers before or after it is a hard slog for just 'football'.

    EOTD we all want a winning team but its just 11 of our men kicking a ball into some nets (or picking it out). Doesnt really make any difference to my life if we win or lose.

    Totally agree these Americans have ended up disasters (I admit I wanted them here as to how devoid of any inspiration I am with Rupp).

    Wouldn’t it be completely our luck if Crawley continue their form and are this years under dogs.

    So if that’s true then it’s the people spending those resources at fault??
