Captured the events and emotions as always Paul, thanks. Things are not right at the moment, I have hopes and have heard that things are in the pipeline but, we will have to wait and see.

As for supporters melting away well, pre-season, Mrs L was keen on us repeating our trip on the LRC to Charlton. Post Plymouth and upon my announcement that tickets were going on sale 5pm Wednesday (yesterday) she was more inclined to wait and see. I have to admit that my enthusiasm is also dampened. We may change our minds but, the thought of travelling to watch another abject performance is not attractive.
 
Brilliant. Asks the really important questions about our club, and is rightly honest about KR.

Thank you.
 
As i wrote in another thread we have become an Oxford United X1

I often said last season that being unable to attend games at the moment meant i could watch in a relaxed mode, Sad to say that has quickly turned to a "Bored" mode this season. On Tuesday I found myself just wandering around from one room to another whilst "Our" team were playing, That's not me and Oxford United and when I got a text from a mate informing that Karl thought the game was even I thought he (Karl) must have missed the many chances they created that could have seen us on the end of a 4 or 5 drubbing.

Care to expand about what is in the pipeline?

Your last sentiment echoes mine. It’s becoming more and more difficult to summon up the enthusiasm to travel a long way to see yet another Robinson c*ck-up (and hear the excuses that follow).
 
Absolutely nailed the current malaise. As much as i believe many of the problems are of Karls making, there definitely seems a rudderless ship on the whole . The complete pre- season from marketing, squad building , season tickets , fan engagement etc has been an utter shambles.
And personally, the longer the takeover goes on the more uneasy i feel.

And I thought it was just me, as a season ticket holder of long standing I would normally have purchased an I follow, but instead I listened to it on the radio whilst watching the tv, I think we all knew what the outcome would be, to say its boring is an understatement, and by the way im yet to watch a home game this season that's how interested I am at the moment

That is very telling. Sadly.
 
Accurate and fair assessment as ever Paul, you are definitely right about getting no joy from games at the moment.

For me it is even worse when Robinson comes out with analysis that is miles from what we've just witnessed.

I'm going to give the next couple of away games a miss I think having not missed a game so far this season

Again very telling.
 
Things definitely don’t feel right at the club.

I’m probably going to take a hammering for this but as far as the owners are concerned, it’s great that they have this vision for SB, and also the investment in the training ground and player recruitment (although allowing KR to spend it is another matter…) But… so many other things through the summer weren’t so good, such as the commercial side, tickets and problems with sponsorship and kit etc.

Add to that the glaring need for a DoF that isn’t being addressed and, unless I’ve missed it, key positions in the academy that still need filling, and it seems there are several problems with the infrastructure at the club at the moment. Is that a fair comment?

I think that is a very fair comment.

Perhaps it is just me but the commercial side look way out of touch with your average supporter.

"The U's take on Milton Keynes Dons in Sky Bet League 1 next Saturday for the dedicated #HerGameToo fixture and the club’s Matchday Restaurant is open for you to upgrade your Season Ticket and enjoy United's hospitality.

Ahead of kick-off, restaurant guests will hear exclusively from both a player from the men’s and women’s first team giving their insights into how their seasons have started, as well as the importance of the #HerGameToo campaign.

Following the conclusion of the game, you will then have access to the Man of the Match presentation inside the suite, where you will hear the thoughts of the chosen player first-hand.

Click the first button below for full package details, then use the second button to upgrade your Season Ticket for just £50. "

The full package includes:
- Two course meal
• Premium seat in South Stand Upper
• Programme and teamsheet
• Half-time tea and coffee
• Q&A with OUFC Men and Women Players
• Cash-bar facility
• Man of the Match presentation post-match


I have a seat in the SSU premier section as it is. For non-season ticket holders the cost is £80. I find this embarrassing at a time when household budgets are stretched. There is one and only one product that really matters and that is the performance of the team on the pitch and we're not getting any value from that at the moment.

I wonder what the take up has been.

£80 is mind boggling when you consider the fare that’s being served up on the field at the moment..
