Graham isn't suggesting that he will give up, he's pointing out that even having bought a season pass, he didn't turn up for some games because he knew what to expect (a probable 40/50/60 point dubbing). Cards on the table here, I did exactly the same; and really wish I'd done it for the last two home games as well.



The club had already had our money (and vital point here, will get it again next year despite the home "performances"icon_wink.gif; if anything, this is showing a true level of commitment that many of our players utterly lacked, and have done since 2018.



IMHO, the club needs a massively improved offer to firstly retain, and then hopefully attract those who are not "diehards" (or insane masochists as we seem to have become).



Not just on the field - and I am hopeful (it's the hope that kills you) that the squad changes will see that begin next season, but also off it.



Revenue streams have been mentioned often, and one in which our club has historically done well is in merchandise sales. Whilst the kit itself has looked good, the standard of the rest of the stuff in the club shop (again IMHO) has been dreadful in the Hummel era. On several occasions each season I have been in one or other of the shops, 100% willing to spend a decent wedge of cash if there is something worthwhile for sale, and EVERY time have come out empty handed. The gear in there would not be out of place on a tatty market stall selling knock offs - screenprinted or ironed on club badges on thin polyester rubbish in colours that bear no relationl to the club's colours or kit, either home or away (or third, fourth...).





The club has seemingly been drifting for some time now, and there are lots of examples beside these two.



Venting on here isn't going to change anything; but for a game in a seeming death spiral, the degree to which our club has taken things for granted is baffling - that's why even "diehards" are almost in despair.

The way they are talking up Charles, I don't think it will be far off him starting in the first season, maybe next season. Could do with hom getting some gametime on loan this season in the championship.

Don't hold your breath as we've seen before how the club talk up a young player only for them to rarely see any first team action, then they disappear.



Hopefully he will be a gem and turn all his potential into reality

Your pal sounds quite sensible to me. I wish a few on here would take note of his musings.

In fairness to the current regime, they do seem to be concentrating on the youngsters more.

Only cos were skint.
