I don’t think ‘stinking the place out’ is playground talk as you put it. It’s a genuine description of what we saw. I also disagree the players were affected by the protests as they happened outside the ground. To be affected, objectively, that would indicate the players would have to have cared which they didn’t. Look at games like Southampton, 3-0 up, crowd right behind and fell apart. Preston at home, a goal up going towards half time and playing well and again fell apart. The logic you have suggested doesn’t stand up against the evidence. I’m sure it did make the stand unpleasant for those who either aren’t unhappy with what they are seeing or just don’t care deeply enough. But what we saw was beyond comprehension. We won on what, 5th January and the last day, 2nd May and once between that in nearly 4 months! The worst season in our history. Sorry, what do you expect from people who put their hard earned money to follow the club? To just shrug and say it’s ok? I also don’t want the club to go into administration or out of business. I think the latter is unlikely. The former very much on the horizon. I do though understand the resigned view that if it’s coming, why not just get it out the way so we can move forward. Don’t mistake people just being resigned to it as people actively wanting it.

Come on. Your posting history speaks for itself. I have never seen you once say a word against the running of the club. Granted I may have missed something but your posts always jump out as defending the club at every turn, even if by attacking anyone who has a negative word to say. You even condemned supporters protesting but refused to condemn the supporters who attacked other fans who were simply vocalising their dissatisfaction and continued not to when I challenged you on it. Sometimes what you don’t say or what you choose to focus on shows how you really feel about something.

Open your eyes, get your head out of Aiyawatt’s rear end and you’ll see that the things you are describing, whether you like them or not, is how failing football clubs are held to account by their supporters. Defending them, constantly insisting they are doing a great job, attacking supporters who are willing to call it out and cheering the decline of our club both on and off the pitch is the odd behaviour! I don’t agree with wanting your own team to lose by the way and not particularly a fan or booing onto the pitch. But you have cherry picked the really tiny minority of cases there. In reality, you are calling out anybody who even questions Aiyawatt and KP.

Too many people just after a day out. Loads of other things that are better value for money and more interesting for kids to do….

Yep. I know not everyone can just be locked up for life (as in whole life orders). But for this stain, the starting point in the judges thinking should have been, right Malkinson served 17 years for the crime so you’re doing that right away. Then say another 10 years for the fact he actually did it, has gone free for all those years and ruined 2 lives. That’d be minimum 27 years and that should have been the absolute minimum. Even that sounds generous. Hope Malkinson goes after the judge legally as well as all those in the police/justice system responsible. How the judge can say all the things he did about Quinn and then hand down the sentence he did just makes makes what he said before the sentencing all words without meaning any of it. Essentially the judge is failing to hold to account everything Quinn has done…

And to add, I don’t think anybody is actually ‘anti Thailand’ or being racist towar the nation. It is being used as a tool to try and prompt a reaction from them. Which is they were completely neglecting the club, ignoring the fan base and completely disrespecting the club, fans and community….well there wouldn’t be a need for people to try and prompt a reaction from them or get personal would there. All on Aiyawatt and KP and don’t have any KP sympathiser say otherwise. This hasn’t come from nowhere or been unwarranted. He has total support when he took over the club in challenging circumstances. He’s been given so much time to get it right and the only shock is how long it has taken many people to turn and the fact there are still so many who haven’t!

I doubt this. It will come to a head. Whether administration or even if we went out of business, technically we won’t be suffering them for decades! It will get awful for the coming couple of years but I am confident the we will have a Sheffield Wednesday situation.

Another pathetic sentence https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4g0n8pyrqlt This piece of dirt should never be allowed out. Not just for the crime originally but the fact an innocent man has lost 17 years of his life, had his life completely ruined, due to being falsely imprisoned of the crime.

Wrong un and a danger to the public. Get him off the streets.

I have no idea what is in players contracts obviously. But this comes up a lot. It would just surprise me if it was so specifically a relegation wage reduction in event of relegation to x league rather than relegation generally. It is not unheard of for clubs to drop twice in a row or quick enough succession that would cover the duration of a players contract. I just really would have expected it to be a case of, and using made up numbers for ease, but £80k p/w, 25% reduction on relegation so £60k p/w when relegated from the PL then further 25% down to £45k p/w…

Thing is, the far right aren’t peaceful. They go out looking for and causing violence. From the BBC feed Speaking to locals, many are nervous about talking to us. Those that have do not want to be named or pictured, but have told us of their sadness and anger at what’s happened. They are causing people to be afraid to go out, making people afraid to speak to the media for fear of backlash. Hardly peaceful!

You only have to be familiar with the poster in questions contributions to the forum to know they most definitely care more for Top and not about the direction or future of the club. Same old, only comes on to make comments like this in defence of Aiyawatt, gets numerous replies giving them pelters and disappears for days/weeks until it has blown over and does it again. Either the biggest troll going or indoctrinated beyond return to the KP cult.

Depressingly we have seen this before a couple of summers ago. Tragic and senseless murders being used by the far right who don’t give a damn about the victims, by going out on the streets and causing violence and division. It’s fully predicable that this stuff in Southampton will end up spreading elsewhere over the days and weeks.

I thought her comments yesterday was it, that were posted in her were spot on. I didn’t like the Black Lives Matter slogan at the time as it is divisive in itself when in truth, everyone matters. She has opened herself up by accepting the slogan back then but then it’s hardly the most controversial or contradictory thing a poly has said or done! It’s a disgrace but not surprising Reform and their lot are using this as a political point scoring matter. Farage with his rise up in rage comments and Robinson in Southampton stirring up protests, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1m2d0ny50no The likes of Farage and Robinson don’t just not care about Henry or his family, I’d go as far to say they are actively pleased about his death, as many of the Reform supporters will be. They are pleased because it gives them a reason to spread their divisive, toxic hatred. Just like they were pleased the little girls in Southport’s killings gave them a reason to incite the protests that summer.

I’m a tolerant person and hate Reform Uk and their narrative to stir up hatred. But as others have said, this is a complete failing based on prejudice in favour of the minority background. Evil people come from any background. This guy, Southport killer and yes, while British people. And as well as the devastating impact on the family and friends of Henry first and foremost, this just feeds the right wing narrative that non-white ethic people are bad and everyone is out to get the white population. We just need to be without this shit and accept each other. The justice system needs to be sorted out to deal with people who commit these atrocities regardless of their background. But it really doesn’t help dispel the two tier narrative.

We will be this coming season. Might be a chance of a big local derby in the first round against Coalville, Anstey Nomads or Harborough!

Yeah Plymouth too, good shout. They have pretty much Cornwall and Devon available to them until you get into the north of Devon and close to Exeter. The main club in Cornwall is what, Truro? And Devon wise after Plymouth and Exeter, Torquay? Bet the ‘big 5’ have a right following down there though

Bristol itself has a massive catchment. As a city, it is perhaps the most under performing in the country in those terms having achieved nothing. Whereas we have a reasonable return for a city of our size and as a club, we are obviously much bigger even if they have the potential going forwards if they realise it.

To be fair, and playing devils advocate, you can also see where a club has scored a lot less like Millwall and finished in a strong position because of their defensive record. We were similar in our title season with all those 1-0’s and the defence seeing us through those fixtures. If you can’t get both right, you have to get one, I’m not sure it matter which. Our probably was both ends, well across the pitch in true. Personally I felt the defence cost us massively with the points we through away.

Sorry, anyone actually justifying Martin, you are wrong. We need someone who can reset the standards on the pitch. Build a side that can defend, fitness, mentally tougher. These have been the reasons for our decline. Martin would do none of this and we will see the same old. We will end up paying out more compensation.

There’s been no time in our 142 year history when relegation to the 4th tier would be even a possibility. Relegation to the 3rd tier is barely conceivable given we have been a mainstay in the top 2 tiers and barely in the bottom half of the 2nd tier in that time. But now many of us are resigned to it. I’d actually be really shocked if we got promoted next season but not at all surprised if we got relegated, genuinely. I suppose the more likely scenario is lower mid-table. To be fair, I have made a serious of what I thought were negative predictions when it comes to us as even what seem like negative outlooks at the time end up looking overly positive when reality actually kicks in!

Matlock Town did similar with Adam Clayton I think (sack and reinstated). But that’s probably the level we are currently working at so carry on

We were going to be better than relegation this season too…..

Not sure I agree. He’s at least 2 years off being given a sniff here. He won’t get Liverpool’s first team quickly but he could go there and get loan experience at a higher level than we are currently playing. Or even a loan to League 1 or 2 would be better for his development than playing kids football for that time with us. Normally I’d say it’s about money and agree with you. But anyone with any sense should sadly be looking to get away from us. We’re not a normal EFL club where many players benefit from getting that early experience/development.

Who said we should have a team made up of 15/17 year olds? The fact is, we barely gave them a chance. Aluko, Page and Monga. We chose to play a crocked Ricardo, Mavididi and Bobby Reid. And we got relegated anyway without our youngsters having been integrated properly into the team. We are now in the third division, in financial turmoil without having shown a strong pathway. It’s the worst of both worlds. But yes, anyone who is not happy and calls this out should go and support another club so that cult leader Aiyawatt can keep his loyal followers.
