Can’t imagine there’ll be much clapping going on. If we get beat tonight then Saturday will be toxic to say the least!! Do you think they’ll even bother with the end of season awards night?

I think it could well be the lowest attendance of the season.

Well we get regular reports on our players out on loan on the website so I’m guessing somebody is!

If he had a future here he would have probably been recalled by now!

Because they all appeared to be decent signings on paper? TBH I wouldn’t have thought that the vast majority of our fanbase really knew too much about any of them first hand. All we can go off is their previous record and trust that the recruitment department have done their ‘due diligence’. I still think that even with the shortfall of quality in key positions any decent manager/coach should have been able to get them to perform to a far better standard than they have shown!

So, we apparently sold 4550 season tickets. If you average that out at £200 it’s around £900k and with the increase for next season a similar take up would be almost £1.2m….I’d hardly call it peanuts!

I wouldn’t be overly upset if he resigned or was sacked but I think next season will be a reset anyway and in that respect I don’t think getting another manager in will change things very much to be honest. The only acquisition to excite me would be Pete Wild but that’s probably not an option right now especially if he were to get Barrow promoted. If it weren’t for the Lemmies he would almost certainly have still been here and we’d probably have been at least one division higher. We had the perfect manager here already, unfortunately, it was at the wrong time!

I wouldn’t cross the road to watch us at the moment!

Probably, but he’s still employed by The New Saints fc too isn’t he, so he might be on a temporary contract of some sort?

Perhaps we would still get a fee at the moment and maybe it would be more favourable than a gamble as to his future progress?

We’d better be lining up a decent pro contract for him then hadn’t we, otherwise he’ll be gone!

I’m not disagreeing with you and the fact he’s given him an 18 month contract is alarming to say the least! He may have been bought with the future in mind but he hasn’t shown much potential so far. For me, It was a totally pointless signing when we were crying out for players who could go straight in….baffling to say the least!

Ah…I see, that must be why he’s given him an 18 month deal then?

Yep…..we’ll be writing the last 2 years off and almost starting from scratch again unfortunately. Whether it be Mellon or whoever, the board have a massive decision to make. One thing is for sure we absolutely cannot afford to make any more mistakes!!

26 appearances 10 goals

OK, the football has been really poor and we haven’t progressed as we would have liked but the club need you more than ever! If you listen to today’s BPAS podcast on you tube you will have a better understanding of just how much the Rothwell’s have put in and continue to put in to our football club. We don’t go to Oldham to watch fantastic free flowing football, if that’s what you want then stick to watching the Premiership on Sky/TNT etc. Next season we lose the parachute payments from the EFL and as a result will lose our academy. If we want our club to grow and prosper then we must buy a Season ticket, if sales fall off due to the product on offer the Rothwell’s might just start to think what’s the point, if the fans aren’t behind us why should we bother. Even though I will only be able to attend perhaps 50% of the games I’ve bought one at £220 which works out at £9.56 a match. We almost lost the club altogether and IMO it’s a small price to pay. We’ve come along way in the 2 years post ‘Lemmies’ but the owners aren’t going to get everything right all the time. If we stick with them and support them financially I have no doubt whatsoever that we will definitely get there! The football over the last few years has been awful and not worth the money at all but we all want a successful club contesting the promotion places. Keep backing the club and we will get there! I urge all of you to get that season ticket and show Frank that he is not wasting his time and his money!!

We’ll have done well if can get there in another 2 seasons!

Hopefully none in before the game too!

Even if something has happened and they have downed tools, they still need fucking off for being unprofessional. There is no excuse for not giving of their best for their employers and the supporters!!

Our shambles or the league’s shambles?

Why does that matter now?

It could be in Timbuk fucking tu for all all I care!

Why so? We’ve pissed away every single advantage we’ve gained and more over the last few weeks!! I’d be a damn site more upset if I was a Halifax fan going for a playoff place and having to travel to Accrington twice & now Chesterfield for a fucking home game. Anyway the only way we were getting 3 points was if the league handed them to us on a plate! I won’t be bothering going either and will be seeking a refund. It will be interesting to see our fans reaction to our exploits this season at the final home game on Saturday.

Weaker than the midfield…are you sure?
