Fair enough, Matt. We all see things differently and we all have our own personal decisions to make. As I say, it took me a while at the start of the season to acclimatise to the level we`re at at the moment and I think you`re going through the same process right now. If it`s any consolation, the quality of football we`re playing now is somewhat better than it was a couple of months ago – I`m sure Dancing will corroborate.

Having said that, I`m going through exactly the same thought processes as you. I don`t find the football we`re playing at the moment particularly enjoyable to watch and – bearing in mind that it`s a 120-mile round trip for me – I`m also starting to wonder whether I really want to keep on making the effort, not to mention the financial commitment, to come to games.  The point I`m making is that if that if hard-core supporters like us lose faith and turn our backs, then there really is no future for the club. The only way it can survive, let alone prosper, is if we continue to support it.

Otherwise it will die. Is that what any of us really want?

No one want's that to happen SB. We can only hope a fan or one of us win's the Euromillion's and buy's the club.

DA and AC have money, power and the law on their side. We have emotion, love and fairly insignificant spending power.

We could possibly financially damage the club by reducing our spend, but we can't possibly impact upon DA, or therefore his puppet AC.

So the fans' recourse is to stop turning up, which might damage the club and will almost certainly bring our third relegation  and ultimate demise even closer.

It's like the fans are between a rock and a hard place.
