Thanks Tony a very sensible posting which I have to agree withBiased opinions in favour of the Board - nonesense!
I’m not going to comment on the game as I wasnt there, nor did I have the usual excellent commentary to guide my opinions ( but from those that were there, we were very good first half, and awful second!)
Back to my point - DFC has to be run as a business especially given our levels of expenditure and revenue. The Board are charged with running the business and do an excellent job in that regard. Just look at the shit-show at both Taunton and Torquay in comparison. My only criticism of them from a football point of view is that they left it too long before sacking Dowse, but have taken appropriate action to remedy on-field “business”. Ten games to go - I’m pretty certain Ady knows the scale of the challenge!
Yes, it’s been a wholly dissapointing season, and what will be will be. Criticism (or opinion) of the sort that I read on here neither helps nor changes a thing!
I won't comment on the game having not seen it nor will I comment about the board or it's members but having watched the Darts for 70 years I have seen several seasons like this with relegations pending or happening after managers have been sacked and others where we have survived and also
I can remember more easily those where we have won promotion and it's all in a season some up's some down's.
For those fans who are currently blaming the board &/or the manger I accept their views having seen similar situations over the years and for the the older fans I was one of the many that were behind the stand at Watling Street shouting for Biddle's head years ago so understand the feelings of those posting for and against the current team the board and Dowse.
All I would ask is lets all get behind the team the manager and the board for these final 10 games and help lift the club to a possible survival from relegation.
We can help using this Forum something that was not around a few years ago not by criticising and slagging off posters but trying to join forces accepting peoples views and getting behind the team.
Many seasons ago we used to have a magazine (programme size) called Light at the end of the tunnel produced by Spike and others which was sold at the turnstiles and helped generate a bit of humour for the fans during the season and I would like to see a similar situation develop on the Forum back to how it used to be when Gary first launched it where we tended to accept posters views for and against but all were 100% behind the team during the season.
