    I'm still waiting for somebody to explain to me in simple terms why if we are relegated at the end of the current season, the club will then be placed in Administration. Every season, four teams are relegated from League 1 to League 2 and I don't recall any teams in recent years being placed in administration because of their relegation.

    I've only been to a few games this season due to family stuff so am managing to unintentionally boycott games!

    Although I've already paid this year so they wont care.....

    On the other side there isn't enough tea in China to make me pay to watch League 2 football again!

    I passed comment on Tuesday night about Gary Bowyer being sat behind us at the Coventry game, at half time I approach him and said are you here to run the rule over our club with a possibility of taking the managers job when Dave Hopkin goes, he laughed and said no he was scouting.
    Nice guy we spent half time talking about his situation at Blackpool (which actually puts our two in a decent light) but the main thing he kept returning to was the FA and there fit and proper person rule and did new owners have sufficient funds to run a football club long term ETC.
    We were talking about the good times under Parky and how Stuart had trumped him and taken us to a Wembley and then how the situation from the turn of the year had turned out, I ask if the situation at our club was well known within football circles he said yes it was, similar to he knew the score at Blackpool, so Dave Hopkin would have been aware of what he was letting himself in for taking the heach coaches job at Valley Parade, hopefully he would have asked for guarantees before accepting it ?.

    If there is a boycott of shop matches or the like they will simply cut down whatever budget there is so it is counter productive

    Give it a rest, you're like a stuck record. Everybody knows that there will have to be some short term pain for the long term gain!

    A brilliant example of what is wrong with a large % of our "uber fans".

    It's one mistake after the other most can now see it, please spell out the positives since these two have taken over at our club, the stage is yours.

    Park I’m sorry to say this, but you’re one of those who largely deserve what’s happening to us right now.

    Counter productive? They aint putting any funds in Park. The reason the budget has been cut is to keep paying off their share of investment.

    I want them out.

    However, I'm not sure I agree that they aren't putting any funds in.

    I just think they're not spending it very well.

    We've got 40 professionals, 20 of which aren't good enough for the National League North.

    We should have a much smaller squad, with much better quality and competition for places.

    The team know they are playing next week. The rest are even worse and Hopkin wouldn't dare play them.

    We've nearly gone full circle, before they took over we had the manager making footballing decisions targeting players and asking the board to back him on his previous signing (that includes McLean) scraps the Christie development squad and wants all available monies being spent to bring in the best quality player we can...

    These two come in take that facility away from Stuart and generate a transfer committee where three members have there say, they start up a development squad with several coaches to run it, openly saying at the forum the head coach is amongst the highest paid outside the Premiership, reducing potential monies for first team building, we hope only Dave Hopkin has the final input into transfers now (given they are within the owners budget) ditching the development squad as they have no competitive league to play in.

    I like the idea of walking out en masse ten minutes into the next home game. Mind you looking at the empty seats on Tuesday we better do it soon or nobody will notice.

    A staged walk out would take some serious planning, but would be effective. People staying away doesn't have quite the impact as thousands of fans suddenly leaving their seats.

    Pick a minute and walk out, Maybe just into the back areas from say minute 30 to half time.
