I am genuinely gutted I didn’t go due to xmas party as I just couldn’t do both. It would have been great, leaving the ground after such a fightback.
I was looking on Twitter, saw us 2 down and then left it, thinking we were going to be hammered, as we have been poor in the cup games also. I then get told we won 4-2 and did a jig in the pub I was in, got some strange looks 😂👍🏻

I bumped into a mate of mine HT and he was heading straight to the Welly. Having gone from 0-2 to 4-2 you'd have thought it would have been a fantastic atmosphere. It just wasn't. The gate was 6,797.
Sadly (and it's not just me) there's a sense of disillusionment all around. There is a disconnect between supporters and the Board. There is a disconnect between the Supporters Club and the Board to the point where the SC would appear to be working against the Board.
The 2 very large elephants in the room - new stadium/new training facility - means that whatever happens on the pitch... doesn't seem to matter.
We're 5th! We could go 3rd with the game in hand! We've won 3 league games on the spin. But it feels more like we're in late season boring mid-table obscurity. I'm not being negative. Our owners must be pulling their hair out.
I would love to provide a solution.
I guess unifying the Board / Supporters / Supporters Club would be a good place to start. UTG.

Yes I know what you mean about the atmosphere. But I’m pretty sure the stuff about the SC/ board makes little or no difference. In the 1960s there was an equal divide between the two and it never affected the general atmosphere like it does now. We are in desperate need of some positive news about the future, the silence from our owners have left a vacuum. Off the pitch we appear to be drifting, little direction from our leaders, no money and the “evolution not revolution” mantra is ok but when it comes from uncommunicative owners it just sounds like a silly catch phrase. Thank goodness GC has concentrated so well on the on-pitch stuff without getting sidelined into club politics. Becaus eof that we at least have a team that’s winning and is doing surprisingly (?) well. Well done to him and the team.
UTG!
