I genuinely don't know why they would bother, but fair play to them all πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

The club is being allowed to rot from the inside, whilst they pay premium prices for really poor fayre, from a series of disinterested journeymen.

I'm afraid my patience snapped a few years ago after more than 50 years. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

He was more than happy to take the plaudits when we finally got out of the non-league in 2018 and up to League one the year after.

So he has to take the responsibility now. The club is dying on its arse in front of our eyes. This is not what he promised us 10 years ago.

In hindsight I feel embarrassed that I could once have been considered a fan of Palios's ownership.

Everything's done on the cheap, assets being allowed to rot, chasing grants, delivering little, and where are the resilient revenue streams he promised us 10 years ago?

Shambles, innit!
