Fan Survey on playing style
at 09:21 28 Apr 2024

I think you have encapsulated the situation superbly there. I suppose my experience of watching our precious club go down the pans in the last five or six years reached its lowest point when we played Boreham and I felt I had to initiate this conversation. I just hope the message gets across to the playing management that as fans who pay good money and spend our prime weekend time following this humble little club we expect a decent level of entertainment going into this new and hopeful era.

Fan Survey on playing style

Without Hayes it could possibly have been a close call.Fair play to Jim for managing to sign him but if the team were five yards further forward he would have done even better. If he can accept you can't entertain without taking risks we could challenge the top seven with decent recruitment. Let's put last season behind us as a stability exercise. Now Jim has to take the next progression forward.

No need for numbers just ask.Jim to tell our team to entertain again by taking a few risky passes forward instead of checking the touchline FA manual. If you think it's good to watch our penalty box fright show every week good on you but Jim won't last long at this rate. Needs to start the season on the front foot or we will be getting crowds numbers back to 1500 like the 70s it's that simple.

I don't post on here to be honest but having spoken to quite a few supporters about last seasons dire playing style some are having doubts about renewing season cards. My suggestion is that a survey should be carried out on all existing card holders to see what percentage are happy to see this prem style continue--the message needs to get across to Jim now not 15 games in. The last three home games when we were perfectly safe and little attempt was convincingly made to entertain was the most depressing end to a campaign I've ever observed to be honest.

Hendo seems to imply there is a communication breakdown so its now up to the CEO to act if he wants to fix this disastrous scenario. We've got 3000 fans max and unless he's happy to lose a very large percent of those who won't forgive inaction he needs to start earning his wage instead of sucking up to the BBC and posing as Mr lower league spokesman.

What a shambolic state our club has reached. After finding hendo wants to stay I am appalled by the situation that has been allowed to develop. He wants to stay without a wage rise and I presume this board want him to stay so surely this is still possible? It only requires both parties to get together. Here we are with probably our best ever playing servant whose ability has been the difference between six years in league one and multiple memorable cup occasions and who is on the verge of a historic goal scoring record which all Dale fans would treat like a promotion (what a lift that would be after this pandemic) and what we hear is that he is no longer in the future plans sent by text ! (that's a disgrace in its own right). If this CEO/ board don't see that they aren't fit to carry this club forward and if they expect us to put season ticket money forward when the new season starts without trying to sort this out they can forget it as far as I and many fans I know are concerned.

Not to worry according to our CEOs Man U calculations the potential loss of a Newcastle home game at around 200k will only be worth about a months running costs so let's not make a big deal about any potential player investment that could arise if we get past Boston- PR has always been historically poor at RAFC with regards to giving our fan base some optimism but now it's shot out of the water.

Its easy for Hilly to say no fear but from what I've seen from the vast majority of this seasons home games in the second half its been more like play with total fear. A bit more risk and we would have been watching Oldham and Bury squirm with a ten point cushion.

Had a glance at the league table tonight. You would think you were on something illicit if you said in 2008 our home fan base would be still less than 3000 and we would be 9th in league 1 with only 8 away games left out of 19. 6 points from the next 3 home games and anything is possible.

Hillcroft phase 2
at 23:30 8 Jun 2010

If Hillcroft can gel a new team together from the bones of decimated squad and achieve 60+ points our adulation will reach new heights. 16-18 wins plus 6-12 draws our new realistic target.
