Do they re-start where they were, or from scratch?

The abandoned Penn game has already been rescheduled for next Sunday. There is a fair amount of rain to come this week, hopefully the pitch can take it.

Firstly, I appreciate what Bloomfield did for us as a player and where he got us to as a manager, I am saddened that he left for pastures new but am able to also recognise that shit happens and the world moves on.

I equally appreciate what Lomtadze's money is enabling the club to do, especially starting an Academy something we have sorely missed for well over a decade. However, I am less appreciative of the apparent hard-nosed approach to staff relations and whilst the players being brought in are exciting and point to a potentially great future I am concerned at where the liability for the funding is sitting.

Finally @drcongo, I fully appreciate what you sacrifice to keep this forum operating and repeat the offer I and others have previously made to put our cash on the table to help defray your costs; sadly can't domuch about the time/effort etc. (TBF I question your sanity occassionaly & mine for reading through some of the stuff on here, but console myself with the facts that is generally much better written than the dross on Facebook and a lot less vitriolic that the stuff on X).

So many of us have found this place to be a godsend and safe haven in an uncaring world it would be sad to lose it & funnily enough I would like to think Matt Bloomfield would dislike that too (along with us falling out with each other over his situation.)

HT PTG 0-1 WW.

Danielle Puddefoot slotted him a loose ball just inside the area, on 30'. Penn thought there was a foul in build-up. Even game, both sides have had chances, Penn hit the bar just before HT. A Penn player was stretchered off, hope she is not too badly injured. After that, ref said if conditions get any worse, he will call it off. About 60 watching.

Or maybe just monetise it and make it a subscription model - a couple quid a month and go all in to be the ‘Wycombe Fan TV’ / Forum / platform?

we get precious little coverage anywhere else and is always fascinating to see how other teams see us as a bit of a nothing club.

compared to other fan forums this is good!

Of course, if you want to shut the forum down @drcongo then that is your right. I am sure that if you no longer saw the benefit of the financial cost, that Gasroomers would happily crowd-fund to take that burden off your shoulders.

A message board is for opinions, for discussion, for debate. Some posters have gone too far with some of the name-calling (personally, I would argue that has happened on both sides of the debate), but as @flymofrank says, this is probably one of the most emotive, heated scenarios the club has found itself in for over a decade. It's no surprise to me with that in mind, and being largely devoid of actual rumours about the managerial vacancy, that the topic has become so heated at times.

I sincerely hope you reconsider. This forum is 100x more inviting, insightful and cordial than any other club's forum I've visited, even with the issues of the past week or so. We haven't crossed the borders onto Facebook territory yet, in my opinion.

I know some folk for whom this is the only website or "social media" they engage with at all. To take that away would be an almighty shame.

It’s certainly gone south in here recently but predominantly because of the crushing bores and know-it-alls who repeat the same bollocks at random points throughout the day.

I'm not seeing anything that warrants the time, effort, sanity and money it costs me to keep it running. I've made multiple requests for people to stop being nasty, bullying other users and deliberately baiting people who think that the club should treat people with respect. It hasn't stopped, which kinda shows how much respect these same people have for this place. It's a shame for the people who do get a lot out of it.

Nah, crack on. Go ahead and shut down a really good platform that a lot of people get a lot out of because we don't all share the same stance on a manager leaving. It's a divisive issue; it's created a divided discourse. You've gotta let it burn out. I don't see anyone saying anything so outrageous that it warrants pulling the plug entirely.
