Just got my flights booked so I can be at the Exeter match which I fully expect to be our last home fixture in the League for some time. I'd originally planned to get to Carlisle in the hope of a witnessing the last stage of a miracle escape but its hard to see any way that we'll still be fighting for anything by then. Or even if we're even fighting now come to think of it.

I can't face the thought of even seeing the fancy dress outfits in the circumstances but I feel a weird compulsion to be there at the wake for League football at the Vic. The only thing that would cheer me up is if the whole match is played in front of a protest against IOR/demonstration of support for the Trust. Actually, it wouldn't cheer me up but at least the chance to show some anger and raise the profile of the only viable way forward would make the trip seem worthwhile. Are there any plans to make it a very uncomfortable day for Ken and Russ being formulated yet?

Good shout. I'll be there in good voice to let IOR know what I think, hopefully there'll be plenty of others too.

They won't care, they don't care. The supporters of this football club don't mean a damn thing to them. It'll be water off a ducks back and Hodcroft, with the slightest inkling of an uncomfortable afternoon, probably won't even be there.

Somehow it is the fault of supporters, sponsors, the council and the Police. Anybody but those two clowns. I'm really struggling with the thought of attending another game this season I'm that sickened by the whole thing.

My passion for it has been slowly eroded and I never thought I'd feel like this about something I've allowed to be one of the biggest things in my life (sad but true).

Who did you book your flights through?

Ryanair, Bergerac to East Midlands - €52 return. Week visiting family and friends and then catch Pools before a very early start to fly back. Why do you ask?

What a strange question. Why do you ask?

Just wondered why Kirsty/Kirsty's Dad/ Dibble or whoever Kirsty really is would care who I booked flights with. Might be fancying a trip to SW France in which case I'd be happy to help if I could.

I don't believe Kirsty is dibble.

Me neither but even with modern surgical techniques Kirsty can't be Kirsty and Kirsty's Dad at the same time.
