I`m not sure what point you`re trying to make there, Matt. You`re saying that IF we don`t beat Basford  comfortably, etc.... We don`t know yet. We may do just that. But if we did lose and that was, as you say, the ‘ final straw’, then what? Everybody turns their backs on the club and the scenario that Dancing just laid out applies. At the risk of repeating myself, all that means is that CFC is well and truly f**ked.  Bye-bye to the club that I have supported all my sentient life, as I suspect you have too.

That may prove to be the case. It would be tragic for me personally, but if it happens it happens. We have no control over it.

As far as Sunday is concerned, I agree that Grimsby were nothing special and that we could have beaten them;  but let`s not forget that they are mid-table League 2, whereas we`re bottom 4 National League. Even so, I personally don`t think there was much to choose between us apart from, as I`ve said, that final third. I don`t agree that we looked threatening; I really don`t think we posed much threat at all and that`s why changes need to be made.  Midfield and defence looked just as good as theirs to me and that actually encourages me, truth be told. Until they scored, after which we were obviously chasing the game, I thought we looked slightly the better team, in fact.

If this is the first time this season you`ve watched us, Matt, you`re like me at the start of the season. This is the level we`re at at the moment.

If we beat Basford United in the FA Trophy it will just paper over the cracks. I don't know what would happen SB if we lose but fans can't keep forking out money to watch this, it's not fun and it's not entertaining to watch. We can't turn our backs on the club but we can't keep going and paying the ticket prices and putting up with this.

If the club finished it would be soul destroying for all the fans including me and I don't want that to happen. Managers, players, owners, chairmen come and go but the fans remain, we the fans remain loyal and we support the team in the good times and bad times but the fans in the last few years have put up with a heck of a lot and sooner or later you've got to say enough is enough!

We looked threatening early on in the 2nd half and we looked good before they scored but other than that it wasn't great. The defence needs changing, so does the midfield and I think the goalkeeping situation needs addressing. We were so predictable just punting the ball up to Denton to knock it down and we were still doing it when he had gone off.

That was my first game I've watched this season in full and also seen the highlights from other games and to me it looks like nothing has changed. You are correct this is the level we're at at the moment but it could also get worse especially if we get relegated again this season.
