I don’t wish to turn into a major incident and I’m certainly not upset by it.

    In terms of positive and negative, I’ll agree to disagree with you. Individual/match performances aside. I understand that everybody as an opinion, but surely some are positive about the direction the owners are trying to take the club in, some reserve judgment and some don’t think it will work. What I don’t like, although some of it is humour, is the labelling of nodding dogs or pitchfork brigade.
    Anyway, my thoughts. Hope you have a good evening.
    I also respect your view, like I do with any of the ‘positive’ gang (off the top of my head I would include Swale and matt-magpie alongside you). Your views maybe a bit one-sided, but they provide a balance to the opposing side. You might find this hard to believe, but I would really love to join you. I would love to say that I think we are definitely heading in the right direction. The best I can say though is that I hope we are heading in the right direction. I just try and say what I see without bias.

    Opinions, respect, positive, negative all that side. My initial point was off the back of your comment in an early post that you don’t ridicule negative or positive posts. I disagree with that comment, albeit you do it as bit of light hearted humour, I believe you do it. As I stated previously, I’m not upset by it. I actually thought you may have been poking for a reaction.

    Back to the picture and I believe I see the bigger picture. As a club we couldn’t continue to operate in the manner we have for 2 decades. Rolling from owner to admin to owner and getting very close to seizing to exist. In my opinion, the current owners, have a long term plan that I believe will get and keep our club on a sound footing for years to come. Unfortunately, in the current world we live in the short term success of getting out of this bloody league may not come soon enough for some. For me, as painful as it maybe, a few disappointing performances/results will not make me lose faith in the long term plan. Some of the cogs in the plan may need to be changed along the way, but not after 9 matches.

    Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your beer in the sun.
