Nice grounds and pitches don’t win you football matches you 

Ye they do. Generates money to spend on the team.

Thanks mate. Shows why we are investing off the pitch. Proves my point. We have neglected everything off the pitch for 20 odd years. The ground has gotten better like I said. It still need a lot of work though. 5 years ago the ground was <ovf censored> now its better than <ovf censored>.

Which is all irrelevant. Football is about the football not the toilets.  Get the product right on the pitch. Get us to a steady consistent league 1 side then starting improving facilities like that.

Youve obviously never seen the bycars toilets, or the facilities behind it outside in the bad weather. Or the railway toilets, flooded most games, no hot water, where you can’t swing a cat in there for 3000 fans then had queue up in the pouring rain at a small tea bar have you. You’re deluded. Get it right on the pitch firstly. Something which we haven’t done for two seasons. I’d love to know which staff member you are but I’d imagine all of you think the same anyway. That’s why we’re in this mess. 

Pretty certain it's a very young lad who doesn't really know what he's talking about.

@PVFC FAN Your repeatedly emphasised claim about spending on the squad and going into admin is absolute drivel mate. That is not what happened.

Unfortunately it isn't. CS has very publicly and very fimrly set her stall out and can't go back on it now.

Flitcroft over fans.

Where has she stated that <ovf censored>? 
Flitcroft over fans 

Certain fans on here have made that

Club over flitcroft 

And yes I know the recruitment has failed especially if we go down

Pretty certain if she did it that way we would read 

We nearly got there then she stopped spending on the squad

It's not a quote, it's a recognisance of the sinking ship we're on.

Ask yourself why people like Dicko have decided to pack it all in.

You are probably investing off the pitch in the areas where you sit But what is this achieving when we probably go down and have gates of 4;500 again? How do we attract better players when the budget will be a lot lower. It won’t be a nice place up there next season.

Not sure about dicko I’ve never been on a bus ran by him they were ok filling coach after coach while we were decent 

Your saying I’m not having a season ticket if DF is not sacked 

Am I wrong?

Why is all criticism perceived as scapegoating?

Ojo should not have received a 2.5 year extension at the age of 31. Was really thick. 

Scapegoat - “A person who is blamed for the mistakes or faults of others”. That’s exactly what this is as there’s people far more culpable for our current mess than Ojo.
The reason he was given a 2.5 year contract was to ward off Bolton who wanted to sign him in August. At the time I don’t recall anyone complaining about it. The trouble is given our current predicament, everyone is an expert with hindsight.

I said for last 20 years we went from league 1 to league 2 and up and down until we almost went into administration. Probably should have said almost. Everything else is true though. For 20 years we went up and down until owners had to sell the club because if they didn't they would go into administration. That is true.

I'm not renewing to watch this embarassing dire football sinking down in league 2 under Admiral David Brent, no. I'll quite happily write Carol a polite and passionate essay why.

@Birches Head Fred Karl: thanks for the piklets.  Bloody lovely at breakfast this morning.  Great to meet you, your brother and your grandson yesterday.  Shame we didn't get the result we were hoping for.
