Where have they gone
For the past couple of seasons when things were going well and rightly so,Nigal Travis and Martin Ling were giving out interviews, Podcasts left right and centre this season we have hardly seen them. Strange? I wonder if they are trying to avoid such questions such as,why was our summer signings were so bad,who chose the signings we made,why have the prices gone up so dramatically,why have club tried to infiltrate the supporters club and why does Richie keep scratching his head when interviewed most importantly how come Dulcet Dave can’t sound his R’s

Re: Where have they gone
Even the Q&As seem pretty pointless now as any probing questions are dodged

You can email or write to them any time if you are that desperate to have answers to your questions.Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 11:27 am For the past couple of seasons when things were going well and rightly so,Nigal Travis and Martin Ling were giving out interviews, Podcasts left right and centre this season we have hardly seen them.

Re: Where have they gone
Brisbane road is a bit of a gloomy place at the moment. But of course it's nothing to do with our style of play, it's all the owners fault.

What would you expect them to say in promotional materials?

Re: Where have they gone
So you are happy with the results we are getting especially that we can’t win at home and can’t score goals. Yep that’s what I bought my ST for. Then they have the audacity to want to give me £10 if I can’t make the game sell that ticket on for £30 and put my £10 towards next season. They having a laugh. Can’t think why the place is so negative atm, won’t even bother about all the sh-t signings. Yep all going greatRich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 12:51 pmIt’s actually the unrealistic, negative fans.Chief crazy horse wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 12:41 pm Brisbane road is a bit of a gloomy place at the moment.

Re: Where have they gone
The materials didn't mention players funny enough, the theme was about the show going on. It was an NT interview where he dropped that line.Wally Banter wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 12:59 pmWhat would you expect them to say in promotional materials?

I think the board have taken the absolute piss this season with the fans and I hope they realise that.Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 1:02 pmSo you are happy with the results we are getting especially that we can’t win at home and can’t score goals.

But that’s a different issue to the playing side. I think Ling has reached his capacity. But I also can see that this squad is better than the sun of the results and the panic after ten games is childish, indulgent, entitled and a bit mental. Trust the manager, trust the players, be a positive influence as a fan on those things

This.
As already said, if we'd won 2 at home rather than away, the reaction wouldn't be like this.

Re: Where have they gone
Feels like recruitment has been poor - Ling
The team are under performing - RW
The board haven't found additional investors - NT
Home games are quiet - Fans
We are looking like a bottom 6 team, very worrying...and attendences bear this out.
We are going to need to scrap for points. Club needs to stay up this season and have a full reset...

Re: Where have they gone
Maybe they've been hounded out by ungrateful fans.
Although you could say that ungrateful fans are being hounded out by them.

Re: Where have they gone
In some ways if RW manages to keep us up it would be more successful than winning the league. I’m just not sure who to blame at the moment Wellens(if he’s picked the players) or the board ( for not giving him enough funds to at least get a couple of first choices)? Even at this stage things look grim

Re: Where have they gone
Whatever happens there will definitely be a reset on the playing side. With 6 loanees and multiple out of contract that's 10+ players needing to be brought in.

Re: Where have they gone
It will be interesting to see what the club do with regard to the pricing of season tickets come May next year, regardless of which league we’re in. ( I think RW will keep us up , but just my opinion)
The International Breaks will mean very few Saturday 3pm kick offs, and many fans find Tuesday night game’s difficult to attend for a variety of reasons hence the far lower crowds……….plus the fact that Sky or VPN holders can watch from home in comfort.
I think many will think long and hard about renewing next season.

Re: Where have they gone
And that's a problem when we want to be building a team to challenge for promotion. Most successful teams are built over a few seasons
