Where does the figure of 10K come from? Is that fund raising activities?

[Teasierbeaver]

Phoenix clubs are a fad that have been initiated by the only ever genuine need for a phoenix club in my mind which is AFC Wimbledon.

A club being owned and intentionally dragged into the mire by a pillock should be made a criminal offence in itself, a la Jim Rushe.

Our board may well be pillocks and dragging us into the mire, but its not intentional, they dont want to do this, they just dont have the first idea how to stop the spiral they have created.

We, as supporters, do have means to resolve this. Enough proper protest and action from supporters group would initiate change, and before you decree that as nonsense just consider that so far all people have done is a few nasty chants that lasted a few minutes at most, moan on a forum and answer a few questionaires with a strongly worded sense of dissatisfaction.

I'd suggest if some people are really that fed up with the board and want immediate action then they organise some proper protests because so far we havent even scratched the surface. Its all rhetoric. If your fed up stand outside the tunrstile with leaflets to the floaters, chant all game, have banners, barricade the board in the CSH and make them explain themselves and give answers. Thats the start of a proper protest.

Saying you'd support a phoenix club is about as protesty as wearing odd socks on purpose.

Wouldn't support a breakaway club in the slightest at the moment but there are other examples of successes that mean they aren't always just fads.

Hereford for example, getting massive crowds.

My local team Rushden and Diamonds are averaging around 500 in the Evostick second flight and got over 1100 for an Fa cup game with Barwell last season and for the Northants Cup final against Kettrin'.

Yep....generally the fans put in this figure through various fundraising activities.....which makes us fans as a body pretty big investors over ten years....

There's a difference between breakaway clubs where fans set up an alternative to the original club which still exists; and phoenix clubs where the original closed down.

A breakaway club would be a waste of time in my view. Better to work at changing our own club.

I'm clubbing breakaway and Phoenix clubs together. The original club shouldn't be allowed to die, individuals should be held properly to account and the FA should be deciding the continuation of the official club. It's a disaster that a club has to reform as a new entity and lose its history and identity.

We'all have to sink a lot further before that's a reality.

I think even the notion of a Phoenix club being mentioned, no matter how serious, should be embarrassing for the Board.

Valid point.

"the notion that the manager is remaining level-headed by putting out a fail-safe plan for next season this early on, must be of some reassurance."

Where do you start...?

I started my own protest on Saturday by singing songs from past heroes to show how far we have gone, pity was I didn't explain it.

Now might be a very good time for a Supporters club launch, would there be much interest?
