What If The Worse Happens? Part 3

I appreciate the title is rather redundant now, but like Lee Glover's inability to voluntarily change tactics, if it ain't broke (or even if it is), don't fix it.  The journey home from Kidderminster felt every single one of it's 77.3 miles (thank you Google Maps) and I, and I daresay, a lot of you deliberately swerved Poppies Social Media last night.  The game, the season, Poppies Social Media on the day of relegation, and a cabinet full or paracetamol do not a good combination make.

Not that one had to log onto Poppies Chat or Talk to know exactly what you were going to get.  

• The same small group of Mouths wanting the heads of Glover, Ritchie, anyone else who works at the club, the players plus any fellow supporters who disagrees with them, mounted on spikes lining the entrance to Latimer Park.

• A lot of understandable calls for the dismissal of Glover or for him to do the decent thing.

• People demanding that someone pump lots of money into the club.  Someone else.  Not themselves.  Obviously.

• Demands for Frenchies Field Stadium to be built and open for pre-season.

• Slagging off of anyone who dares to suggest Ritchie is still in credit with most of us.

• Ritchie biting.

• The occasional reasoned if disappointed contribution.  Probably about our diminishing fan base being unable to sustain NLN football.  No doubt shot down by the same handful of Mouths who pick and choose when they attend and are entirely unapologetic about dumping the Poppies for Champions League football on the telly.

• Desperate pleas for Carl Stairs or any brother of a former top player to take us over and fund several promotion pushes.  Or any passing Hollywood Superstar who just happens to be reading for that matter.

• Pitch at Latimer Park to be sorted, no matter what the cost.  As long as someone else pays again.

• Fervent wishing that Peterborough Sports fail their ground inspection.  It would be amusing for sure, but pretty f*cking desperate....

Twenty Four hours and a deep breathe later and the plunge onto Poppies Chat and Poppies Talk has been taken.  Not entirely surprised that we've pretty much got a Full House on our Poppies Social Media Bingo guesses.  Thankfully there seems to be a lot more sensible talk once the initial bile hit the high water mark.  AND it seems someone has decided we need ANOTHER Facebook Forum....we'll have one each soon.

Bottom Line - we weren't good enough on the pitch to stay up.  We had plenty of chances to give it a bloody good go, but simply lost the knack of winning football games.  Everything else is so much froth.

Who knows, maybe we'll see these kinds of scenes again one day.
Sure ain't gonna be at f*cking St Ives or Barwell though....
