Yes, there's a lot behind the scenes that needs to be sorted, and I'm not belittling that problem at all. And yes, things ain't been great on the pitch either. While it's a very steep hill we've got to climb it 'ain't over yet until the maths say otherwise.
Exactly that, Mr Miller. It’s looking like a mountain to climb, but it’s not over till it’s over. Our opponents on Saturday have dragged themselves out of worse a couple of times with no major investment or change of personnel. 8 points adrift with 19 games left. 57 points to play for, and if we can pull a couple of Curzon or Alfreton performances out of the bag and win two or three on the spin and it would all look very different. I’m not saying we’ll do it (and sadly Young Alfie isn’t here to mock my optimism), but it’s not impossible, and a noisy crowd getting behind Cookie and the lads can only help.
Whilst there’s life there’s hope!
Sticking around a while yet, thanks to a gift from a generous angel.

My inclination is that we're going to be relegated, but hopefully on Saturday we'll turn up, and support the team like they're a bunch of God's and miracles are commonplace. I've had the map out since well before Christmas and now know where Royston is , and I'd like to think that next year more people will turn up to watch a winning side in a division below with MC sticking around and guide us back.

Dropping down a league just does further damage to potential new fans. As was mentioned above, you've got teams in this league that people might have heard of - Scunthorpe, Scarborough, Hereford, Darlington perhaps. There are already enough teams at this level that when I'm asked who Gloucester have on the weekend the answer is met with a "where's that?" or worse a "who?". We don't need to be playing any more of them, and no disrespect meant by that. I don't buy that going down will help us in the long run, much the opposite.
Nobody wants to go down, we all want to stay up, let's not take our eyes off the goal. Need to be positive on Saturday and get behind the club, we just need a momentum shift, somehow, someway. Don't know where it's coming from, but we have to be looking for it.
Ever forward, not backward.
