I do not know if he was at the Sheffield game, but David Hughes was definitely at yesterdays game.

So he will have witnessed a defeat in front of 500 fans at the tail end of the first year of his brave new dawn, seeing us remain 3rd from bottom and with fewer fans than we had in Ealing.
When will he admit he got it wrong?
What is it that prevents him realising that he has destroyed the club?
Will he bother next year?

He's not destroyed the club yet but he is presiding over a steady decline through mismanagement. How many ground moves will it take before he realises that is not the issue (and in fact counter productive) ?

Most fans have lost confidence in the owner. He does nothing the inspire confidence and has a real blind spot with decisions to revitalise the club. The spiral down the plughole will continue until he vacates.

His 5 year plan, if we base it on a starting figure of 1,000 average at Ealing, which is what we had pre covid, would have required 37.5% year on year growth.
After 20% of the time line has passed, that figure is now 50% year on year over 4 years.
Year 2 he needs an extra 500 x 13 fans through the door.....then another 750 x 13 the following year, then + 1,125 then 1,650......
That is the simple compound maths.
At the start of this season they needed 375 new fans......they've delivered zero.

The target was actually 5,000 in 3 years.

You sure Buzz it wasn't 3 fans in 5000 years?

It's a Greek tragedy, wrapped up in a Shakespearean farce sprinkled with a large helping if "carry on"!
Nobody does panto like the Brits.
