Only around 11 members and 170 odd guests on The Bunker, never known it so quiet ?

Nothing much to moan about except the price of beef tomatoes.

you have to wonder how long people can follow the club for, forget just been bad, it's basically been a zombie club for over a year now. Owner wants to leave, splashes out, then wants to leave again, so many managers, so many players.

factor in that the fixture list for the most part is absolutely honking. The police already seem desperate to tamper with kick offs for the few big matches too.

Its been like this for the past 50 years except for a few blips.

It's the middle of summer FFS, many contributors will be abroad on their summer hols and/or have better things to do than continue the repetitive speculation or slag each other/the club/RSingh off.

The start of pre season training is usually a time for optimism (since there are no competitive games) it is easy to have hope and i think that is natural. For example, this time last year the general feeling was positive with some decent squad additions and Darren Sarll coming across quite well in interviews.

This year i think that optimism is still there but i can sense that so many people are sick of Raj and can see that he really isn't a good owner at all. A few bad results at the start of the season and I can see tennis balls by October. People have had enough and I am sure attendances will be lower than last year.

I’ve spent the day house training an orphaned starfish, Dolphin Tennis and doing a stock take of the sand grains on Seaton beach.

Oi Ethel you still haven't answered why you brought up a post from a few years ago from a poster that doesn't post anymore. Why do it?? What was your motive??
