I am fence sitter on the Fenty question,

I often stand in his corner because I do not like posters calling him when he does not have a chance to reply,

Now we know Getyourfactsright is John Fenty, I will leave it up to John to defend himself,

One last thing,,, Please John just put your hand in your pocket one more time and get the goal scorer we need to get out of this league,

If you do that and we get promoted,

You will be the best thing since sliced bread on here.

All arguments aside, all i know is that for the first time in 42 years supporting Town, i'm not in the least bit excited at the prospect of another footy season starting. I feel no buzz whatsoever and am on holiday for our first 3 games. It would have once vexed me greatly to miss the start of the season but i'm no longer bothered.

Don't know who or what is responsible for this state of affairs but something is amiss with my beloved club.

As a fan for very nearly 50 years now, I'm with you mate. I left last season having no faith in Paul Hurst and start this season with probably even less in the man. The playoffs were not a lottery as some here would like to believe. Cambridge were by far the best team out of the last 4 and deservedly got promoted. We never ever looked like being good enough. Yes, we probably will reach the playoffs again this year based on a solid defence and nicking the odd goal but unless we improve dramatically at the top end we are doomed to ultimate failure again. Our home form last year was appalling for a supposedly promotion bound team! Complete unability to break down teams who come to park the bus, and many that didn't come to that! So what's going to be different this season???

With or without the title you are the Chairman of the football club I support. This is a professional football club where I would hope they at all times act with dignity, truth and professionalism. I have not always supported the way you conduct yourself Mr Fenty but I have always admired the way you are always willing to answer supporters queries. All I ask is please for the sake of this club and my own sanity, get off this messageboard and rise above everything you read on here! If you do want to continue to post on here. Do not use Emoji's, do not use the word LOL and do not patronise the people that still support this club in it's darkest hour. This is not my cricket club and you are not my teenage sister. Stop acting like it.

Thank you. I wholeheartedly agree and spent a good few posts saying the same thing. However I fear we would never convince the optimists like GrimRob who believe if we keep grinding our way to 5th place we will eventually be given free promotion out of sympathy in another 10 years.

Why shouldn't he come on here and defend himself when people are spouting utter tripe? I think it would be hard for anyone to read constant bullshit about themselves and not come on to defend themselves.
I agree with previous poster in that Fenty is always willing to engage with the fans and doesn't shriek questions which some fans take for granted, and after reading his posts on here I'd say Well done Mr Fenty you speak from the heart, I along with many others do appreciate the financial support you have given this great club over the years in keeping us in existence.

One question grim74, how do you know it's constant bullshit being spouted by some posters.

Proof?

Nobody can answer that apart from jf himself

Remember the good old days before the advent of the internet?

In the close season:

1) You had no idea who the new players were, what they were like, or if they had any potential.

2) You had no idea what the opposition were like, how much they were (potentially) spending, or what most of their players were like

3) If you talked about the football, you did it for 20 minutes in the pub with your mates before going on and enjoying the rest of the night talking about/doing something more interesting.

4) You had a lot more time on your hands.

In the modern era:

1) You've read reviews of your new players from fans of their old clubs so know they are all rubbish.

2) You've read the daily news about how this club or that club you've never heard of have signed players from a couple of divisions higher.

3) Daily internet discussions about the pros/cons (mostly cons), pluses/minuses (mostly minuses) of the players/team/management/ownership.

4) Lots of porn is close to hand.
