All arround have won we are definitely down the plug hole

Just another point. I wasn't there today but I do feel so sorry for all the fans that turn up at these away fixtures. Whether it be Leatherhead, Lowestoft or Worthing, both near and far and what agony at the end of it and it goes on and on. Dorking had a nice win today, how come they can survive very easily in adapting to this league and we can't? 

We're going to need snookers soon. That was shocking, one shot in the first half, one shot in the second, neither on target. They announced 852 spectators not including their goalie.

I have to say that was the worst I have ever seen from a T&M team. So upsetting.

We were truly bl**dy pi$$ poor. The boys huffed and puffed but there is clearly something missing or not clicking with the team ........... and we had most of Grange Hill's kindergarten 11 on the bench !.
I left before the end (never ever done that before) to get an earlier train because it was so painful to watch, and typical of my day nearly missed that too !! Poxy Worthing level crossing gates !

Sadly I think that my wallet may not be clicking open to attend Needham Market after that showing today. 

I think its about time someone has to say something regarding the fans. We spend a lot of money following the team around to various places & what do we get, a crap performance I left 5 minutes before the end of the game & up to then we never had a shot on target. Does the team not realize that performances like that will lose them more fans than that they have already lost. the defence need sorting out, too many goals are leaked either very early in the game or just before half time. There is no talking on the field within the team. Come on Tooting prove us wrong. the remaining games are now cup finals.

I too left the ground a little before the end.
And I don’t think I managed more than a half hearted shout all afternoon.
Given I have always preached that supporters have a duty to actively ‘support’ then perhaps I need to share some responsibility.  But it certainly was poor fare and very disheartening.

As alluded to on the Facebook page and confirmed by Tim today, Mike Dixon returned to training this week but then did his groin more damage and now looks out for the season.
Both Ollie Bennett and Tope also injured themselves in training and Omar has a chest infection, hence the youngsters on the bench.   Very unfortunate timing to lose that many senior players.

Looking for any positives, we should be encouraged by the return of Josh from Slough.  He looked a strong, forceful and committed player in his first spell with us and clearly the right back position is a major problem.
We were constantly undone by dinked balls over the top that landed short of the penalty box.

Yes Greg, our fellow division climbers Dorking have done well to recover to a mid table position. But I would again direct you to Bognor who were massive champions last season and have sat at the foot of Ntl Lge Sth all season.
The transition is not an easy one.
And look what is happening with Tampons Bill n’ Dicky!  Even shed loads of cash is not a guaranteed solution.

I still don’t think we need many points to survive. But those two shock results today clearly indicate we will need a few.  Where from?  Wait and see.  The adventure continues.
Keep the faith chaps.

The hand should have gone into his pocket before a ball was kicked this season.  It has been men against boys all season.

I think its a joke was at the game yesterday and for a team to not even have one shot on target is embarrassing. I totally agree that this dulwich money should be made available to strengthen the team its money he never had after all if they had not been kicked out. If funds are not available and we do finish bottom then forget about teams folding we should go down as we would have been worse team over the course of season. Lets be honest one team goes down so what hope if theres no funds do we stand next season with three going if we get a reprieve. Very hard to take at the minute but will carry on trying to do my bit on the Terrance.

Ah, funding again.
We are back to ‘Steve should put more money in’.
In fact, Steve should have put much more money in before the season started.

Who believes the entrance money from just 100-200 spectators at home games, quite a few of them (like me) on OAP rates, plus the income directly attributable to the 20-30 fans who remain in the bar afterwards is sufficient to fund the football budget.   Really?

How many fans attended the pre season friendlies?  A handful. Yet officials and staff had to be paid.
And the outlay on the football side had already started then, surely at higher pay rates than in Ryman South.
So that is a sizeable negative balance even before the season had started.
Who funded that?   

Perhaps it came from the profits of last season. After all, that was very successful with the club gaining promotion.
Anybody believe the footie side generated a profit last season?

Why don’t us fans simply find somebody else prepared to throw their money in to the bottomless pit. 
How about Tampon?   Will you contact him Wolfie?

So what are we gonna do about getting more fans then? At the moment we're losing fans the way we're playing?  I and others have put forward ideas before and we've been shot down by various parties from the club because it would cost too much money?

I must agree with some of the views posted on here regarding funding.
My views regarding Mr. Adkins are well known, we should consider ourselves lucky he funds it at all.
After all it is a business, and we are just one small entity that runs at a loss not a profit.
You can not spend what you have not got.
So we, as supporters should feel fortunate we have a Saturday to look forward too.
I wonder how many clubs at our level would like our facilities and fan base, as small as it is.
If we as supporters wish the club to be more successful then perhaps we should look at some of our close neighbours, they were once in a similar position to ourselves.
So what did they do, got together and made the effort to make things better.
It can be done if we all sing of the same song sheet and are prepared to make the effort.
See you Tuesday night, or not, whatever the case might be.
Not only is it a chance for silverware, but the club might even break even.
Not!
