! not even joking thats only 30 mins longer than it would have taken me, for a "home" game
nice venue or not it is laughable that the potential for a move to Adams Park is being entertained at all in this thread

Would happily pay double for a season ticket if we could do 80 minutes.

There is always an excuse, to much sun, grass not green enough, now its cant get home quick enough what ever next.

| Given that communication being the fans and the club is none existent, it is the only way we can express our feelings, unless we have another farcical 'towel' protest!

| As poor a half as I've seen from us in a while.
It is getting to the stage now where I am just waiting for the errors, every carry. Silly offloads, misplaced passes, knock-ons - we're just not accomplishing the fundamentals and as a result, we're not making ourselves difficult to beat. We are presenting our opponents with so many opportunities and they don't have to play well to beat us.
Liked the ground actually - quite a good venue, but hopefully not one we'll be revisiting.

Surely a better idea would be to form some sort of trust or supporter's group?
I understand that the communication between the club and the fans is none existent but the fans should be doing something to bridge this gap. The main talking point on this thread is the home venue of the club in 2014. From what I've picked up the vast majority on here do not want to leave London. As the club aren't ready to converse with the fans why don't the fans put some pressure on the club and produce a petition of signatures of fans that want London to stay in London and physically hand it to someone high up at the club?
Another talking point is the venues used for "on the road" games and now regular home games. I have my own personal thoughts about this and many do not agree with either the venue or decision to stage games on the road. As a group it would be good if the supporter's group/trust could come up with an overall opinion and again give this opinion to the club.
Press for meet the chairmen evenings and meet the coach evenings as many lower league Football clubs have. That's how points will be put across.

| I have 'pressed' for a fans forum as have many others, GM promised and has not delivered. Short of a North Korean solution I have no idea how to make the club talk to the fans

There was a volunteers group who had the ear of the club as well as helping out where they could....the precious cricketing CEO binned them.

It'S been pressed for and promised...yet another failure to deliver on a promise from the CEO.

| Just seen the highlights. Absolutely depressing. Thought we were bad in the 2nd half at the time but seeing it again confirmed how completely unfit and and clueless we are.

I actually meant to type previous, but it worked out OK,.......Blanchard was a cricket administrator as well
Quote ="Rooster Booster"Is that fact?'"
Yep...the Volunteers were pretty much told that they weren't needed any more....no more meet and greeting and assisting new fans with information, no leaflet drops.....pretty much a thanks but no thanks....Brian and Alison would know more than me of exactly how it happened, but happen it did.
Interestingly, between the 2 cricketing CEO's, they have managed to shed over half of our fans as well as alienating those left without ever seeming to be taken to task for it by the Chairman....very odd indeed

Be fair.
He's got menus to prepare.
Not mention carting a Hostess trolley round the Home Counties can't be much fun.

| Well, tried Adams Park and have to say that it does not work for me, the transport connections worked out ok but I am still looking at a 5 hour round trip involving 6 trains and 2 cab rides, so no thanks. Should we end up there next year I will not bother with a season ticket and may just go along for the odd game against opposition we have a chance of beating (allegedly).
Regarding the game……..I think the bottom line is that as a group the team are just not good enough, end of story, we seem unable to compete for any longer than 40-50 minutes and at this level we are found wanting time and time again. There are a few exceptions in the likes of Gower and Dixon who never stop trying, but I think we all know that the latter will likely be gone come the end of the season.

| Suspect Gower will be off to at this rate.
couldnt make game as the late change - mucked up the arrangements i had made after the first re-arrangements!
It now is pretty obvious we have a gem in Dixon, a a few decent players, acouple with real potential - but we cannot do the basics, we particularly cannot defend, we give away endless penalties.
Deeply depressing and i am not sure how much more i can take.................................

| Liked Adams Park but not practical for us Londoners who use public transport (4 trains, two tubes two taxis at a cost of £30...no thanks!).
Enjoyable first half but what the hell went wrong in the second?
Just seen the stats for this game...we are officially going backwards....46 missed tackles, 19 errors and completion rate of 53% !

| What was the second half completion %? I can only remember 1 set being completed which resulted in a Gower kick.
