Hello - long time lurker and first time poster.
Like all am feeling pretty dejected about the whole situation and struggling to see any positive progress whilst all sides appear so entrenched in their opinions and blinded by personal disputes. Common sense and practical solutions seem so far down the priority list it is untrue.
Similarly, and most disappointingly, it has caused deep divisions within the fan base. The self congratulatory gloating of a small but vocal minority who are going to "home" games and seem to be revelling in the fact that others (their fellow fans) are missing out is very hard to take. This situation should see the fans galvanising but unfortunately the opposite seems to be happening.
I am not going to Sixfields, not due to being on "a side" and not as I feel part of any campaign but simply because it is completely wrong and such a daft course of action to have taken regardless of the circumstances leading to it being taken. There is no sensible explanation for it being a sensible idea that I can see and the alienation this has caused and the disconnect between the club and the fans is destructive and will take years to repair. Not sure my 9 year old will be that interested in 3 / 5 / never in a month of sundays, years time and that is repeated by the thousand across the city.
So, I will sit and listen on the radio, on a Sunday (!) and cheer the team on. We could make it off the bottom today with one of the best starts in years and look to have some real emerging talent / team spirit which, in the circumstances is nothing short of amazing.
And then next week there will be no doubt be some statements, counter statements, revelations regarding legal documents, company structures and a whole lot of pointless squabbling leading ultimately to the square root of shag all progress........
Keep the faith, PUSB and all that shite.

Glad you've taken the plunge to put your thoughts up. They mirror those of my dad, uncle, and a few others who aren't tech savvy and can't use a computer.
