"yeah, it's a shit league, and it's embarassing that we have to go to places that sound made up like Chippenham and Farnborough"?

If he'd said that, people would get really upset.

''It’s exciting whatever league you are in when you see the fixtures if you know what I mean, and obviously Truro have become our Christmas team so that’s always good.''

So, playing the likes of Truro is 'always good' ... no it f&*king isn't!

Marshall,donnellan and Tomlinson would be eaten alive by the Yeovil front line and I am not even thinking about other teams.

I don't care much for cooking demonstrations either.
I just watch the gulls.
Despite being a fan for many years, I can't get too animated if we have a poor season, cos I'll watch them the following season regardless.

Rather than moaning, I'm looking forward to the new season...

Dave wrote: ↑01 Jul 2023, 14:49 Well, when I referred to my friend withdrawing his player sponsorship, thought that might give a clue, other personal reasons are not for me to say, maybe the fact that a fan since the 1970s is feeling that way should be alarming in its self.

Christ do you have put me through the pain of posting you a list, information these days, is sent straight to us, unsolicited on social media.

They have regular live streamed fans forum from SJP, we have an owner who doesn't do statements, we have local board of which one will blank you, if you dare ask a vaguely critical question, the other will be rude, see it in person.

They have party in the park, free event to all, with music, supported by Crealy on a Sunday , we'll have a season ticket holder event only during the week where most can't attend.

They have a fan zone at the ground, we have cashless turnstiles, but hey can pay a £2 surcharge on match days if you que up by the swimming pool.

Their social media is full of content such as life's a pitch, cooking demonstrations, ours is contains well gaffer if we hadn't given away that penalty, we might have got point today.

Their squad did a park run, sure ours were doing
something.

Their doing stadium tours, we're doing? I don't know.

They did a kit out cliff campaign, to help raise money for state art training equipment, we're doing? I don't know.

Their winning new fans, we're doing? I don't know

Much as I can't stand that club, their getting everything right, now light years ahead of us.

While little or no information comes out of our club, little or no fan engagement, and half our fanbase have closed eyes. Never mind, we've already won the league, so all will be OK.
