Solidarity as a collective until the candle is snuffed out is what is being implied Nige. I can see that to a large degree. Yes we are irked as a fanbase and rightly so but our frustrations and spleens have to be vented in a a very measured way at this time difficult as it may be. The Q & A is an ideal opportunity to address lots of things and I’m sure you me and plenty of others will have our twopeneth worth whatever that may achieve ultimately.

But let’s not forget the most important thing in all all of this is survival in the football league, that is the end game for everyone I would hope. I for one is not for giving that up on that until it is beyond redemption and nobody else should be either. Blind hope is better than no hope.🙏
On another note it’s sad to read about another small business not getting paid for the service they provide the club allegedly, Browns this time. Hopefully it can be resolved ASAP as the area has a small pot to pee in ultimately and makes for poor reading once again.

Mark I totally agree with your comments what I was getting at is that on Saturday I thought the support the team got was brilliant considering what we were watching, The Holker end did their best and on the popular side always tried to encourage, infact they were clapped off at half-time, but at the end of the day reality is formation, energy desire and getting players back is the only way out ( Williams, Smith, Whitfield and Foley still out against Cheltenham).
We have a mountain to climb over to you Dino stop the talk and deliver!

I will state this without proof but I honestly think there has been match fixing.
Well before we dropped down the table I said we will get relegated and the person I spoke to gambles .
I was told the bookies odds were for us to stay up and they never get it wrong.
Now we are favourites to go down.
As good as Dino is I just worry about this.
Would be interesting to see if any big bets had been put on Barrow.
Might seem crazy but I don't think this team should go so long with a few points.

That's one hell of an accusation Pedro and I sincerely hope on this occasion this is not true.. especially if it's associated to the club in any way..

It is disturbing where we are and I was one who thought we had enough with what we have to survive.. what we are not seeing from the players is committment and with their lackluster attitude, it doesn't bode well at all.

I would have liked to have seen half the team in the meeting so they can see the anger, frustration and disappointment first hand from the fans..

Indeed. I thought those were very good odds. Especially for us who have “inside information” having seen how awful we have played recently.

Well surely now is the time to prove everybody wrong and show us they are a team and go and win against Cheltenham.

Aside from this remarkable guesswork, I don’t know why you think to say “as good as Dino is”.
Jury still out for me, and time running out.
OK we beat Colchester, but lost the other two, and looked abject against Gillingham. No fire or bottle, no scrap - completely contrary to how he said he gets his teams to play when he was first appointed. No attacking threat whatsoever against very ordinary opposition. Not one shot on target.
13 games to go. How many more losses in the 13 remaining before Dino gets the chop?
Let’s hope it all changes, but hope has never been a strategy.

What do fans want out of this? I mean specifics. What is there possibly to gain from going full barrels on recruitment, the state we are in etc etc. should be held at the end of this season. Nothing to gain from having this on Friday night. Yes it needs to happen, but at the end of the season when we know our fate.

Agreed. This could cause even more division and unrest, but it will probably be packed out with good takings at the bar!
