Its a digrace, but am i suprised? No

This off season there will be alot of undisclosed fees, as we basically get rid of players for nothing. Ive always defended him as i never liked Farman, but Wyll has cost us alot of points. He will go, regardless of how hes played. If it was me i wouldnt keep any of them. I expect more from a footballer than 'running around and putting effort in' al la Josh Gordon. Theres a few id happily drive to their new clubs. Newby being 1

Judging by how they played, are you sure it wasn’t the night before the Walsall game?

Hopefully the awards night will be cancelled. That would be one slap in the face too many.

General consensus across the board is we've been failed by the powers that be as fans by actions out of our control, we as fans deserve better and how the season has been handled is nothing short of embarrassing

Its now time for the board to pull their trousers up, give themselves a wobble and seriously put their money where their mouth is, own up make the decisions that need to be done around them and move on cause we can't wallow in pity and have a relegation hangover like Morecambe etc..... time for a rebuild and give the bin league a go.

Hornby will back Iain Wood to score all 8 himself.

We don’t need to score 8, we need Salford to score 4 and we beat Newport 4-0, we finish on same goal difference, (then it’s down to total goals scored and head to head results) unless I’m mistaken (never gonna happen though ) goes way beyond clutching at straws :/
And Harrogate to lose.
My gut tells me they’ll win Saturday but don’t get the goal difference, just to take the edge off the level of sh*t they’re in for.

LOL awards night. Who would be the fans player of the season? Probably Josh for running around a lot.

I never thought I’d see us in the football league in my lifetime; bar Wilds tenure it wasn’t all its cracked up to be tbh
Saying that still think we had a chance to fairly easily stay up in Jan by getting an experienced manager and a few experienced players in, we didn’t but the squad was good enough etc etc…..

I feel now that the team deserves to go out of the FL in 2026 because there are too many slackers.

If history repeats itself and we find ourselves dropping out of the FL in 2080 I hope I won't have to be saying the same thing again when that time comes around.
Somehow I don't think you will be around in 2080 if you have already clocked up 64 years supporting Barrow.

Well, who knows, 32-Miler? But you could be right . . . only time will tell . . . by the time we get to 2080 I might have lost all interest in The Beautiful Game and might be more interested in painting water-colours . . .

I don't know if its been said already but I really feel for, what are probably some of the lowest paid club staff, who are going to lose their jobs now we are (almost definitely) non league again. In today's financial climate, its heartbreaking.
