There was 450 tickets in total if they sell out there going to try to increase the capacity.

Your conveniently forgetting no fucker is willing to put the cash in, the only folk who are are the fans via season tickets, this been coming for a long time, the club isn't fashionable to attract cash were only going to survive on what ever the fans put in therefore it makes sense to create a community club via a trust, regarding people and egos those who doing it for those reasons will be soon found out. Negativity gets right on my tits, just sit in a corner sucking your thumb and doing fuck all then.

 

realism isnt negativity

 

if all we can aspire to is fcum levels, i'll be out **

 

carl and blixa are merely pointing out that this lot arent in a position to take on a club owt like the size we are now and they could set up a trust whenever

 

all current efforts should be into finding a buyer who can support a proper club

Don't know if you listened to the fans trust guy on GMR he said the first step is trying to connect the fans with the club and the community if that one target is met then that'll be a major step forward, it might be that the fans trust partners up with a number of Bolton business men to take the club, it might just act as a catalyst that brings more potential buyers to the table, it might all fall on its arse but at least they will have tried, unlike folk who sit on there arse do nowt and still moan.

 

And yes think we could get same or bigger crowds than Pompey at them

Prices. Especially with a new fresh and open football club.

I fear this is where I am at. There are factions on sites, let alone between rival groups. We would struggle to survive in a single entity, with everyone pulling together... Efforts need to be focused, and focused on finding a buyer.

 

If we don't, the club I love will cease to exist.

 

A splinter club just doesn't sit right

Oh get a grip.

 

Do you really think a few bloggers and do-gooders are going to come in and creative some footballing utopia? If you do, I'll have the same prescription that you are on.

 

It's a sideshow.

Portsmouth are a bigger and better supported club than us.

Who said utopia? It won't be that that's for sure, it'll be a slog a long hard one but let's all piss on the bonfire before its being given any chance to deliver anything, the other option is to do nothing sit on your hands shut your eyes and hope and pray for the best.

He might well be, he's showing he cares he's trying to do something yet folk still can't forgive his 1 misdemeanor in 10 years of sterling service.

did it balls

 

spending more than we made contributed to it

 

not being able to find the next mug finished it

Go and support Portsmouth then, Blixa. Fuck me there's enough to be negative about without creating more shit to moan about.

 

And you're wrong anyway - our all time average attendance since 1921 is 18,658, Pompey's is 17,369. And they've won the title twice in that time. So pipe down.

Lack of accountability fucked the club over a supporters trust could possibly have challenged that situation, the BWSA didn't have the strength, whoever takes over the club should never be allowed to do whatever they want without some measure of accountability to supporters, most German clubs run under a trust and it works there, it needs to be fully explored.

Well said Mounts. Kinell, it's not an either or. Anything that connects the fans to the club in a way that hasn't happened before has to be a good thing. And yes, providing some oversight and accountability so that the mistakes made by the criminally incompetent fuckers allegedly running our club are never to be repeated.

We are being wound up in a matter of days, you need to get a fucking grip.

How any 'supporter' can sit on their arse doing nothing but slag people off that are trying help and improve  things is beyond belief.

Go on Carlos tell me what we should be doing?

I'm pretty certain we are fucked, administration, clear the decks and get back to basics. The current situation is unsustainable, no one is coming in if we are losing money at the rates reported. Unless some Saudi billionaire comes in, no one in Bolton has got the sorts of hard cash needed. It is inevitable. There is a viable business once all the outgoings are removed and we live within our meagre resources.

And why are you so anti a supporters trust that intends to build bridges between club, fans and community, could they not possibly play a leading role in this brave new world and help ensure this never happens again.

I repeat, I'm against some of the people involved, I don't believe they are in it for the right reasons. I've said that from the off. Time will tell I guess.

 

Currently there will be no club to build bridges with, so it's a question of priorities. I'm all for that long term. Just not with the people involved, they don't represent me, I don't know about anyone else.

Then get involved

Exactly, represent yourself, no one ever going to agree get on with everyone in any group, but if it leads to a better BWFC isn't that worth the compromise?
