I think like most people on here i'm mightly pissed off about the current situation at the club I have supported for many years for me its high time Perry and Knight started waking up to the fact that if we slip out of this division then a 23,000 capacity stadium is VERY unlikely to be financially acheivable.
Its all very well blaming McGhee for everything, and McGhee doesnt help himself by in turn blaming everyone else, but Perry and Knight need to wake up and realise that the apathy for the club in a League below could be catastrophic, its all very well bleating on about how the club will die if we dont get Falmer and blaming LDC (who have a lot to answer for), but if you fail to concentrate on the here and now then you are f***ed. Its like any business, if you cant get it right now regardless of the problems you face then you cant complain in 5 years time when you go bust because you spent all your time thinking of the future and not the here and now.
Banks and Finance houses are becoming fed up with Football clubs that have massive overdrafts and cant keep up with repayments on loans, its a bit like the airline industry after 9/11, it only took one household name to have the plug pulled on it and a whole raft of others went down after, thats the way I think it will go with lower league football that is increasingly pushed out of the National media and is treated more and more with apathy by local populations who care less and less about local teams.
i'm not saying for one minute that Perry and Knight havent done many great things for the club, but its also not wrong to question the direction we are going in, although that will not be to the liking of many who would rater bury their heads in the sand.
Que the usual 'without Falmer' or 'united or die' etc etc responses, my points are not about that or are not being disloyal, my point is if we dont put our house in order now (with a bit speculating) how the hell are we going to pay for a 23,000 stadium if we are in D2 with 4500 crowds ?
