It's the feel of the whole thing thats different for me this time.. In previous relegation battles I was convinced we would get it right, there was a sense of togetherness with the fans and belief that we would find a way some how.. I don't feel that this time.. I've been utterly convinced that what ever we do will not be enough since the loss at Salford.. Add to that the pitch invasions, heavy handed stewarding, the banning orders, the false claims of racism, the fact our owner can't be bothered to be in the country, the fact we're still under an embargo and our landlord and owner are due to meet each other in court.. It's the absolute worst it has ever been.. but if anyone has a spare for harrogate give us a shout I started the tread in November when I said then I thought it was nailed on. In truth though, it was only blind hope that stopped me starting the thread in august. As you say- the football side has nothing going for it, and has long since given up the battle.

There is no attempt at all to communicate with or galvanise the fan base. Just a club doing the bare minimum to get by administratively. 6 minutes ago, League one forever said: I started the tread in November when I said then I thought it was nailed on.

To quote David Dunn from the Under the Cosh podcast “the whole place is a horrible stinking mess” Its like you say - put aside the football for a second there is absolutely zero effort to galvanise fans - the website is literally delivering the bare minimum, there are no player interviews, no injury updates - they don’t even promote the work of the community trust anymore If this club was a person on life support the doctors would be telling us to pull the plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found Dunn’s description of some of the antics of a particular board member at the time slightly amusing, especially who that likely director was.

BP1960 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 We were expected to bounce straight back by many after relegation from Division 1. It's disturbing we won't be expected to do the same from the National league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
