I commend anyone who wants to be part of a group which has the aim of helping the club and any for individual who gives up their time to help.
I hope that any new Owner will look at Jim's record and see that giving him any money to spend would be wrong. If the Owner has got funds available, I hope he his first investment is in a new Manager.
It's the job of a football club to provide entertainment to the paying customer. Morecambe FC are failing abysmally in this regard. Unless improvements become obvious very many people will continue to feel disrespected and choose not to attend games. The spin doctors will continue to mislead, however the harsh reality is apparent. You can't fix a problem by employing the same tactics that are causing the problem.
We all love Jim and the club. Yet there comes a tipping point for many and common sense prevails. We simply stop going and find other ways to be entertained. The vision to relocate the ground was commendable, the execution of things after the move has been deplorable and merely highlighted the sickening realisation that the club aren't as ambitious on the football side of things as many supporters hoped for. Consequently we have stopped supporting the club, both financially and in person.
The lamentable sadness comes, not from us older ones who also find miserable winter nights standing on an empty terrace unbearable, but from the 'football' fans who are beginning to follow other clubs on a regular basis and the shocking missed opportunity to engage the young people who become the lifeblood of any club
We haven't been to a game since last season. We certainly miss the Saturday ritual, but don't regret our decision because life is short.
