It could fall two ways Roma and as ever in football you just never know .

Absolutely nobody could see the season we had last season so anything is possible which includes a huge struggle in league one too .

I couldn't say right now , I've an open mind .

All I know is that the best possible news would be for the consortium to feck off and we build again from that position .

It would be nice if they did make some effort in the upcoming transfer 'window', just to show us maybe that they do care about us staying up. But this hasn't happened in four years so far, so theres no chance of that.

I don't see him here next season in league one , I could be wrong but my gut says he's a gonner the moment relegation is confirmed .

This club is run on a short term narrative and owned by super capitalism

It's all they know .

I’m pretty sure we won’t renew. We will go to a few away matches that we can get tickets for, rather than home games.
A weekend away, a few beers in two or three different towns. I won’t commit £700 for two of us for a season to go to sterile, “fan patronising” home games, with total disregard for the comfort, and enjoyment of fans once they’ve paid their season pass. This will not be for us next year. . Nor will we be buying shirts, etc.
Not while these owners are here. £700 is very hard earned. And to spend that, there has to be some return, in terms of entertainment value. I can’t justify that again.
Last year we invested in the team, club and players. Paid for season tickets, supported the club. According to Dane……The owner’s were proud of how we kept the club going. They persist in trying experiment, after experiment with managers that wont work in the championship.
We expected that this year we’d “kick on” yet they take us back down the “snakes and ladders” to square one.
Preston “plucked” a geezer from league one to kick their season off…….. We got a clone of Morais, and Schlopp
Then again, thinking about it……. Maybe we won’t even go away.
Away matches were a good craic, tickets were hard to come by in League one, and we valued getting one….. Then we went up to the Championship the atmosphere changed….. Threatening, intimidation, and a culture of “if you don’t like us standing up/ pushing/smoking weed/smoking in toilets/falling over your seat, calling you c…ts, and throwing beer over you with other general unsocial behaviour then “.F..k off”
So we have.

Last time we were relegated, we went home and away…every game. All season. Can’t say we will this time.

Everything from the teams performance, to the road closure’s, walks around half the town to get to the ground, closed slip roads getting to the ground amd poor fan experience in the ground s pointing me towards NOT BOTHERING AGAIN.

And, that’s without not even STARTING about the way we playing.

Close your mind mate….we are Fu££ed

Jules tha betta off watchin Emley , here's 2 local game's fothi ovva festive season,
28th Dec Emley v Athersley Rec

Pen is tone Church v Emley Jan 2nd
both 3pm kick off 's

Just sin goals and highlights. Dear me Styles. Just how many goals have we conceded this season by Styles losing his man and the opposition running in behind in the spot vacated by him? It just happens time and time again. Prestons 2nd goal is p1ss poor too. Far too easy.

This season has been a total disaster. How have we gone from a hungry energetic young team into this lacklustre sloped shoulders shyte? Why are we sticking with this silly formation? It doesn't work ffs!! Defensively we are all over the shop. Our midfield is unbalanced and the front 3 have only managed 12 goals between them all season. Our set pieces are garbage compared to last season. Why?

Our turn around in fortunes from last season is quite staggering really. All the work ethic and organisation has completely been thrown out the window. Last season these lads did themselves and the club proud. This season is the polar opposite.

Hate to say it Jules but the above would make a great letter to drop into Grove St mail box Attention Directors BFC.

There again would they bother to read it ?

So many fans so disillusioned - how much lower can we go?

Sad situation indeed.

The truth hurts Pass.

I watched the full game on ifollow 4th in a row being abroad. £40 spent 2 goals scored 2 points earned, absolute garbage.

As if it wasn't bad enough up next are Val and Mowatt to rub our noses in it .
