We have had nearly 3 years of this new business model and it hasn't got us very far yet. In fact if we don't go up we are likely to start next season minus 50 goals (Wootton, Rodrigues & Roberts).
Absolutely spot on and this is the point I’ve been trying to get across as it could possibly affect the followers more than the supporters. If Forest go up guaranteed even more wall to wall coverage, if Mansfield go up games against Derby, Sheffield Wed, Charlton, Portsmouth, Sunderland, Bolton, Ipswich which sound more attractive than, Weymouth, Bromley, Wealdstone etc to name but a few. The gap is widening and perhaps the penny will drop with the followers when we only get 2 or 3 updates during a Mansfield match. It maybe a good thing in some ways as it maybe the only way the followers realise how far adrift we have come and mediocrity in the National League is not as comfortable as switching the radio on every Saturday afternoon.
