They must be frustrated with the slow progress of the new stadium and along with dwindling crowds, it all stacks up.

There is no deneying they have put money into the playing side, but apart from promotion, the club is no further forward.
The only progress is with the youth system and the academy, the period of stability has allowed them to improve.

We are now selling season tickets for next season and wanting to increase share holding,? Makes me suspicious,also making repairs to the Derry gates and removing the hoses after all this time ?

Maybe I'm adding 2+2 and coming up with 6 , but there are no updates on their plans and no interaction with the supporters.
The only exception was the scenario with the assistant manager when they took heed of the fans.

I will be there on Sunday, even though the cundie dwellers will be celebrating st Patrick's day and singing their usual ****e
Silence breeds suspicion.

I don't see how any fan that gives it any thought at all could possibly be anything other than suspicious.

Keyes owes DFC and the fans nothing but if they bailed out tomorrow what have they really achieved?

They have gave it a good go (especially the playing side) but they have never been totally convincing for me.

A football clubs owner has to take the fans along with him otherwise all the enthusiasm will fade.

1500 regulars are posted missing over 3 seasons.....we shud have been looking to add 1000 to 1500 over that time frame.

Also think the "local" advice they have been receiving can't be great.

I don't think it's possible to point the finger at one specific thing to try and explain why there is such a disconnect between the ordinary fan, players, dfcss and the current board but there is.....the defiant season looks and feels decades away....almost as if it was a different club.

The apathy (including myself) among a huge chunk of our support is frightening.
