For those who no longer attend home games regularly, or as regularly as they used to, what is the reason?

As the Board treat me as a shareholder with disdain by not holding an AGM why would I support them?

Why would I put a penny of my money towards Hampson, Layland, Wilcox and Pinches? They've taken the club from being a respected Conference League club, to one now floundering in local league football, and during that time they've also managed to lose at least 4 million pounds. Remind me again why I would wish to give them more money to waste? I'd prefer to invest my money in wine women and song, at least I'd have something to show for it, and it would be my choice to waste it in such a way.

I can only reiterate what others have said. This board show no respect to the owners of the club. They may or may not be using our investment for purposes that we are not informed about, so why on earth would anyone want to give them more money by attending home matches.

Wasn't it George Best when asked what he spent his fortune on replied " wine, women and song...the rest I wasted"? 😃

All of the above plus putting the gate price £1 above what Bromsgrove charge shows the utter contempt they hold for the support. Bunch of p*** taking incompetent useless c**ts. They are not getting another penny of mine.

All of the above, where does one begin.
Probably wasting my time writing this but here goes anyway.
Why would a football club prefer to go down the Parsonage Way (PW) route rather than Perdiswell?
If they were going to go down the PW route and get demoted why did they waste 4 years in Conference North and ground sharing at Kiddy?
I cannot say when I will go see them again, no plans at the moment.

I think most people know my opinion. It has been a very hard decision to take as I have some good friends who still continue to go so ,not only does it put me "at odds" with them(although they have all been perfectly understanding)but,as I don't live in the city, I very seldom see them anymore. Unfortunately though I feel that I wouldn't be true to myself if I ignored my own feelings.
I cannot understand why anyone would give the current regime a penny but each to their own!

I've been to a few games at Bromsgrove this season as I like watching football, but am very reluctant to fund the regime. Enjoyed a few away games as well.

If they were going to go down the PW route and get demoted why did they waste 4 years in Conference North and ground sharing at Kiddy? The club's first / preferred option was Perdiswell, but they don't think that will happen, so they came up with a plan B (Parsonage Way) like we wanted them to. I understand that more funding routes would have been open to the club if they had stayed at National North level, but sadly Perdiswell was taking too long & time ran out. They were left with no alternative but to go down. |

No, wrong on all counts there.
The football club didn't come up with Parsonage Way, the City Council came up with Parsonage Way as a sweetener to detract from Perdiswell, the club never even considered Perdiswell as a preferred option, the club have never done anything to look for, or to promote, any potential new ground since Nunnery Way died.
The position of the club in National North is not related to Perdiswell at all. In fact, the Supporters Trust never factored any football funding into the development of Perdiswell for this very reason. Whether the club was at National North level or at Midland League level, the funding plan was the same. The clubs decision to go down was not related to the time Perdiswell has taken, it was taken because the football club has consistently lost £150,000 for the last few years, and the cash in bank from the sale of SGL has all but dwindled away.

Ok, if the the Council came up with the Parsonage Way idea, but as for point 2 I was always under the impression that Perdiswell funding would be reduced if we went down. I remember this when it was first mooted; citybanterboard.proboards.com/thread/4491/next-seasons-league |

Yes there would be a possibility of reduced funding with that football stadia fund, but it would still be available at a level commensurate with the league level. No funding routes have been closed through demotion to my knowledge. Perdiswell was never a consideration for whether we stayed in the National North, or went down the leagues. The Chairman always stated publicly that the Business Plan was neither affordable nor sustainable - even though it had been amended before validation by the clubs secretary!
Perdiswell funding (also Parsonage Way funding) is too far in the future to factor into any decisions being made by the football club in relation to finances, and leagues that are presently affordable to the club.
