i've always thought the main stand is the worst viewing area.  The sun(occasionally) blinds, the posts get in the way, often the wind is into the main stand too.  I think the away fans should be in there and the osmond,pontoon & Findus for home fans.

Surely that would be an incredible waste of resources and potentially advantageous to visiting teams?! As long as we are a conference team where many away followings are significantly less than 100, they'll be rattling around in the main stand, not using 9/10ths of it but still requiring staff and facilities, and electricity and police etc. most of it inefficient, underused and wasting money and time. The best best place for away fans at BP, as long as we remain in this league, is indeed the osmond/main stand corner.

Yes point taken...still I think its a shame we cant have Town fans behind both goals.  Would need a lot more thought I guess.

Great post  
I remember the club paying massive sums of money to players on loan who couldn't give 2 hoots about GTFC.  Left when we down, left us with no sell on value and very few players.  L.L can take some blame too, the loans were his idea.  The reported 12k + family put up and regular flights back to China that a certain player cost us, also cost us our best player (one of the best we've ever had) in Peter Handyside.  Rated over 1 mil at the time left at the end of his contract cos he couldn't get a game here...Applause for L.L please.  The sacking of A.B was quite frankly embarrassing and made us the laughing stock of football. Even the mention of Huxford makes my blood boil and how he gets away scot free(RATS leaving the sinking ship) is beyond me.  I dont blame J.F, take a look at how far Pompey and Leeds have fallen because of mis-management by a previous board, both far bigger clubs than us with much greater resources to bounce back.  Huxford you will never be forgiven....not by me at least
When all left the ship, what about the ITV collapse, Who inherited that along with masive tax debts, JF did, but as i see it he has steadied the ship, its now a matter of time before we get some good football fortune, there is only one man to thank for that as we still have a football club.

Does anyone actually believe that this is the case? i dont think the club would be any lower down the leagues had we folded and started again. I am also pretty sure as a league club that someone would have taken us on, they may not have done any better but i doubt they could have done much worse.

I think you may be overstating the case a bit there and neglected to mention quite a few decisions that directly brought us down to Conference stalwarts.

We all agree that money has (continually) been wasted on a crock of 5hit over the past years. Now, let's get behind the crock of 5hit we have now instead
