Beatbox85, for those of us who find it difficult, if not impossible, to get to away games, this forum, the Gazette and Herald's site and the official CTFC site, are like vital life-lines for post-match information. Its because the club means so much to people that they become frustrated when they can't find anything out. Your offer would be very welcome and most gratefully received.

I like Joiner have been a loyal supporter for many years. Action should of been taken after the Bideford defeat, where else does a manager keep his job after 15 games without a win? My last away game was at Stourbridge where our shocking run started. I will be going to Totton in a few weeks but gone are the days when the supporters club used to run regular coaches. Some supporters who used to go on the coaches don't even attend home games anymore. Do we still have a supporters club???? All I can think of is the board may think relegation is a cheaper option, more local games which may result in higher gates. It's a real shame. Watched Chippenham Park on Saturday, a tidy team who try and play the right way. Will be good to see them in the Western League next season.

FACT. Concrete has less calories than lettuce
FACT. One direction are the new rolling stones
ACT: It's 15 games in which we haven't won not 16. Although I do agree there has been some very poor play, by contrast there has also been some very strong and promising moments.
Sorry about the last one but that's just bollox

Quality? Style? You must be joking. Yes they gave it a go and you could even call it entertaining, but quality, no, and style? My goodness.

In sorry but in the current situation quality goes out the window, points and preferably 3 are the order of the day.
regarding the website I don't know how many times I need to repeat myself but the amount of assistance offered over the years which has been ignored has been quiet frankly disgraceful.

Beatbox, I don't want to prolong this thread but there were a few points on your last posting that I couldn't let go without a comment.
Away games. Why should common sense dictate that something is done. For a long time regular supporters coaches haven't run for lack of interest so why would people automatically think you could travel on the team coach?
It really is nit picking to say it's 15 and not 16. Fact is we haven't won for a long time. Incidentially I hope it is a winless run of 15 games and not 16.
As you confirm Rudgey said it was the players fault was it worth commenting on that I was taking as correct what someone had posted.
You agree that some players are not up to the standard. We might disagree who they are but surely they should have been identified by the management team and the matter resolved.
I have no idea what you are getting at regarding volunteers. Read my previous posting and you will see I have the utmost respect for them. They do a great job and we should be grateful to them and so I'm not sure what this finger pointing is getting at. I have only referred to the operation of the website but only on the basis if you have agreed to do something do it. If you can't fulfil the role particularly if the club are slow in providing information pack it in. But on that point if the administrator can post having a go then why could he not just at the end of that posting just to put in Saturday's team and at least answer my criticism. Or is Saturday's team, which I still can't find anywhere, a state secret? Maybe as you were at the game you would like to enlighten us all. If there's something fans like to know it's who played

Having returned from a weekend in the big smoke I have just spent the last half hour reading this every increasing post. My views are as following.
Onfield
Another weekend and another performance which realy does put us up the creak without a paddle. I am now convinced that we are doomed. Our final nine games sees us play Cambridge (currently 9th), Leamington (1st), Totton (11th), Hitchin (21st), Chesham (8th), Kettering (22nd), St Albans (7th), St Neots (13th) and Stourbridge (2nd) with the exception of Hitchin and Kettering I can not see us getting any other wins and bearing in mind that both those games are away it would not surprise me if we return with nothing. We have not seen three points for 15 games where as the other around us have been picking up wins....it aint looking good. I love CTFC and will always give credit where it is due but you have to face the harse reality of the situation. The board have to act, when the manager starts attacking current and past players instead of backing the current squad and saying we are coming out fighting for the remaining games then he has to go. We fans have not confidence in the current management set-up and installing a new manager NOW will give us a chance of survival and us fans will see that the current farce is being addressed. If the right person is put in charge (and I know who I want) it would be a shot in the arm that the club is desparate for.

I read the latest attack by the CTFC website with amazement. Is this the true view of the club or the act of a meglomaniac? if its sanctioned by the club then I bid the club farewell and good luck for the future, I will not stand being talked to like that when I pay my money and support a team that I stupidly beleived wanted to listen to the fans. If it is the act of one person then they have to be brought to order. As other have said if you cant do the job then dont do it, I read that there have been offers of help in the past which have been turned away, so the buck stops with that person. I like many fans want to know what team played on Saturday and how we performed, that is a basic request. If people are sick and unable to attend then why not make to the first update on the website and make apologies instead of doing nothing and then attacking people when questions are asked....unbeleivable.
