    Hey, it's fantastic that you and @Silverbantam@Silverbantam are calling fans for not renewing.

    Yet your apathetic approach under the tenure of Edin. Absolutely amazing.

    Walsall was the beginning of the end but think today has just finished us off.

    Fleetwood was the end and 13 wins in 60 odd league games was and is the backbone to our failings

    I am not “Calling anybody” but if it’s our club we should support it

    That would be the perfect scenario but if people decide not to purchase a ST, that's is there choice. You do not have the right to chastise others for their decision especially going on to say "The one certain thing is if the fans desert the club like a few say they are going to it will die" .

    Do you retract your statement?

    That’s a fact if fans don’t buy tickets in sufficient numbers we won’t be able to operate. I am not “Chastising “ them. But I do encourage as many as possible to stick with “our club”

    I agree with Park. Do we really want another administration?

    Have already got mine whether I use it much is another question
    Can fully understand people not buying them due to the uncertainty surrounding the club
    However other than a cheap price what are the club doing to encourage people to buy ??
    We are near certainties for relegation we don't have a prayer of attracting a team anywhere near good enough to bounce back up its ok the club selling season tickets "cheap & early" but this can play havoc with cash flow next season in light of the rumoured debts

    Staying away is the wrong option at a critical time.

    Stefan has said he'll patch up the £2m hole in the wall, but I imagine we must be close to another overspend already given we'll be in L2 with players on cushy, long term contracts.

    It's patently obvious we won't be challenging for promotion next season, we'll be reduced to bringing in cast offs and gubbins from smaller teams to stay as near to budget as possible (without actually getting anywhere near) - that said, how is staying away going to help?

    Genuinely concerned that those tempted to give it up as a bad job might do so for more than just the next few seasons.

    Where is the evidence that fans not purchasing season tickets will send the club into administration?

    How exactly do you come to conclusion?

    If we go into administration, if I said, the apathetic approach that people like YOU during Edins tenure, will have more of a factor in administration, than a few rats deserting the sinking ship. Your words, not mine.

    You and I both know Edin Rahic was to blame, and we should have got him out sooner - shame on those resisting his expulsion - but no good can come of fans turning down cheap season tickets and walking away.

    At BEST, it's going to make us even less competitive than we can already expect.

    I just don't see the benefit.

    Cannot see these players having the bottle neck to play in that final home game v Wombledon ? They will get pelters expect to see most of them nowhere insight with Bowyer saying he wants to give chances to those who might want to stake a claim for next season . Sykes-K Riley Devine Patrick Maltby Goldthorpe Colville ! ...

    Evening Jon. I agree. Support is needed but the inevitability is that we will lose support. Even had we not had 3 years of Edin and Stefan and got relegated, support would dwindle and the challenge would be great in league 2.

    I agree with the sentiments of Park. It is our club and support the team through thick and thin. But to suggest the club will die if fans do not buy St's. And Silverbantam, rats deserting the sinking ship?

    I'm sorry but we have "fans" who call others out, yet sat on their arse ignoring the obvious problems when Edin was here, destroying the fabric of the club.

    Must be just me who takes exception.

    I have to say neither Park or Silver strike me as the ones who should be leading a call to arms given their support for the ruination of what we had a couple of years ago.

    And you're right, a decline in uptake is inevitable, but I'd hope that fans with the time, money, and practical means to make it to League Two games do so - the club need to take some affirmative action NOW in order to minimise the damage, as the disconnect between fans and the club in the Rahic era still seems to be there. Only positive steps are going to help bridge the divide.

    Nope, but while Stefan propped up and enabled the Rahic regime, he also ended it and took financial responsibility.

    I would never mention Stefan's name in the same critical breath as Edin Rahic. He was the manipulator, the controller, and he is 90 % to blame for the situation we are in now.
