All is not lost... Maybe? Hopefully? 15:13 - Mar 7 with 2293 views | TomRAFC | There's been a lot of calls for positivity at a time when positivity is hard to find. Poor performances, possible sackings and boardroom mysteries and misdemeanors aren't exactly the stuff of which dreams are made. Not to mention the genuine risk of relegation. I am one of those people unable to walk away. Dale was the heart of my childhood. When I moved away for uni, every Saturday without Dale was tough to take. I fully empathise with those who are ready to walk away but I hope they make their reasons know to the club. I wouldn't want to see genuine acts of protest dismissed as being the byproduct of what has been a period of hard times for everyone. If I can't bring myself to walk away, where do I find my sliver of hope? Don't worry, this isn't a clichéd call for unity. For me, the club does have an open goal decision-wise. A chance to bring in new blood with the relevant experience and give us the best shot at some kind of rebuild. To say thank you for your service to a CEO and manager who couldn't help but be out of their depth, and give the club the best chance to get back on track. As much as I would prefer to see them go, perhaps taking a step away from the tone of driving them out of the club, which is something I've been guilty of myself. Or maybe it's just been a bit sunnier recently and I'm really looking forward to my tea. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

We've never slumped that low since, including the present. So the way I see it In still up on my 'investment'. That's as much positivity as you're gonna get from me at the moment 🤣. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

I really do not want to watch second division football after the titanic, forty-odd year struggle to get where we are. To give our status up in such a pathetic manner is heart-breaking. If we lose on Tuesday and BBM isn't shown the door, then we can forget him leaving and will just have to resign ourselves to the inevitable. I really fear for us if we drop though. People are so peed-off with the way things are going we will struggle for a crowd and, I fear, plummet further. To oblivion. Maybe that's what the board want? The tongue-in-cheek references to building on the ground might not be too far from the truth. | ![](/images/avatars/1530.gif) |

Ryan is the man that we could with but I don’t think that his return is imminent. Must have have been some tackle that cleaned him out at Wigan. With hindsight that one incident has had a big impact on our season. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I'd like to see Hopper given a chance in his absence as he's the closest we have. Humphrys is so much better with Beesley playing and pulling defenders out of his way. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
