People love to remember back and compare fondly, forgetting massive improvements made and making out theBad as it's been in 40 years?.
I remember the last home game I went to before I moved to the US was against Wrexham in late 2003. Pretty sure Colin Hendry was in charge, there was about 4000 there, no atmosphere at all apart from a few kids behind me making monkey noises and shouting "spearchucker" every time a black Wrexham player got the ball. For those of us who started going in the 80s/90s even one season at this level felt impossible. I honestly thought it would never happen in my lifetime.
The club was in a coma and had been for decades bar that one season where we gave it a go alledgedly cause Oyston wanted some good PR during his trial.
Its not even as bad as it was during Graysons second tenure.
Clearly though the season has been incredibly disappointing and if we really do have ambitions of being a perennial championship club we need big changes.
Sasler and Co have improved a lot and will continue to.
Some of the decisions for managers have been very poor and tickets imo has not been right.
If Simon was reading this I'd say please try and build the fanbase up. Let's go for it with a lower priced strategy and fill the stadium, positive manager appointment and give ourselves the best chance with a bouncing Bloomfield road.
