We'd have the income from our new £30 Membership scheme to fall back on.

its looking highly likely in my eyes now, as all the clichés been said, haven't won at home for months, get rid of our top 2 strikers and one who could rubber stamp our plight if he scores goals for Solihull its been an awful season, and the ending...we shall see...But one thing that's changed the owner has stopped talking to the fans

That's the saddest thing this is an ideal situation to come forward and give some assurances that if we go down he still has plan's and I don't mean new ground etc.!

Still writes his column in the programme.Personally I think sends out negative message to team and managerif he starts talking about contingency plans before we see if we can beat the drop.

I think we were given a coded message by the recruitment (lack of genuine quality )in January.

whether we stay up or go down there needs to be a massive clear out asap once the season is over.

Which players are on contract for next year?

How long is the managers contract?

Always thought we'd get out of this mess but for the first time having serious doubts.hope we can get 2-3 wins away as can't see us winning again at home.can't be far off having the worst home record in the country in the top 5 divisions

I hope the club are doing some planning if we do go down because we can't go through another season like this!
Lessons have to be learnt that comes from appointing the right manager to where the players are based they have to come from the northwest /north. I hope no one comes out with they have to have the right mindset etc. we've had all that and look what we ended up with!
There's also the problem with who's exactly running the club when Paul Casson took over we had a good mix of local people on the board all had in their own ways skills to help our club move forward what happened to that idea?
It's unhealthy to have a few people making all the decisions you will not get a balanced view so we end up with the mess we have now.
obviously I don't know what goes on behind the scenes (I probably wouldn't want to ) but "our club" needs a good shake up and once again let's have a workable plan so all of us know exactly what we need to do and how to make it happen!

Completely agree but it ain't going to happen whilst you have those "few people making all the decisions".

They will do what THEY want - not what the fans want, and sadly not what is in the best interests of the club.

The silence from the top is deafening like when Diana died... speak to us ma’am erm I mean Paul

Theres far bigger clubs than us been relegated in recent times Stockport and York to name 2.Its been a poor season all round,we would just have to get on with it like other clubs do,were in this position for a reason,far worse things happen in life.

When we go down to the Conference North, the main indicator of our owners 'ambition' for the club--to me--will be whether or not we remain full time or revert back to part time. If we go part time then I think its game over.

I hope we won't be relegated, but if we are, we will just have to dust ourselves down and go again. It will be a terrible waste of the last two years, but we have faced crises and setbacks, mixed with the occasional good times, for as long as I can remember (which is a very long time). Remember the old song lyrics: "Barrow will rise again..." (or words to that effect). TBF, that song was more excruciating than many of our performances this season, but the sentiment was right.

Genuinely, , I think there will be a different reaction from dusting ourselves down this time. And that leads me to think staying up will affect the next 15-20 years. So no pressure
