Monty Burns Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Good episode. Balanced plea. What more can you do? Nothing. The bit about attendances. We will have triple digit home attendances next season and it will look embarrassing so we need a boycott announcement and none stop boycot talk. We will shift about 500 season tickets and get a few hundred pay on dayers inc. away fans. Announce Away Games Only policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else can they even appoint now who the fans will like? They've been through everyone else. Shez was the last hope of that, no one else will appease fans now. If there's even a whiff of the Lemsagams still being here come August then Shez should resign before his contract expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Barry is still involved, which it sounds like he is, then I wouldn't be surprised if they go all out to keep Sheridan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basilrobbie Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 That was a difficult listen. The situation you are in is just so awful, it hardly bears thinking about. All the warnings about the football challenge that were made on the Pod are well-founded, I think. This season, Southend also wandered into the NL seemingly with no plan for getting out of it and before Christmas a further relegation looked very much on the cards. It was only when they brought in a manager who knows the Division and made a modest investment that they recovered to where they are now - which is safe, but a mile away from getting back to the EFL. I guess you would settle for that now. It is the hardest Division there is, in terms of getting out of it at the right end, even for seasoned competitors like Chesterfield, Wrexham, Notts County and even Halifax, who all know what is needed and probably have a lot more financial clout than you will have. And there a dozen more smaller clubs who might not have big crowds, but do have an operating model that makes them resilient and resourceful. Even so, the bigger and more intractable challenges are off the field, as everyone knows. I fully agree with the sentiments about starving the owner out - it is clear he has no inclination to invest significant sums in the club and its infrastructure. I can't see any way that he can be part of the future, or the immediate and necessary planning that has to take place NOW, before the transfer window re-opens. But it will need a concerted effort, and a lot of painful sacrifices to make it happen. I've been a season ticket holder at Bloomfield Road off and on (mainly on) since 1970, so I know how hard it is to give that up. But sometimes the least worst decision is the only one you can make. It's a fight that has to be fought on multiple fronts, and as was said on the Pod, you may not have (probably haven't) bottomed out yet. The work behind the scenes always falls to a few people (it is the way these things work), but everyone can make a contribution even if it is not buying that season ticket, or (better still), chucking your season ticket money into the rescue fund. I think the Fans Forum is presciently timed, and hopefully it will go well. I know we are going to be represented and hopefully we can find ways to be practically helpful as you go on, rather than merely offering moral support.
