The next few weeks decide the future of @officialgtfc , accept and the club have a chance to break the run of non league, lower league 2 finishes and above all, hope and optimism. Reject and club is finished, imo, it really is THAT simple. The fate lies with one man

Seen a few comments about people feeling 'sorry' for the 794 @officialgtfc fans at the game last night. Only speak for myself but I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me, I go of my own accord, I don't expect us to win, I go because I want to, to support my club! #UTM

Complain about Hurst all you like but you cannot say he has lost the dressing room. Players gave it a real go, Halifax will be delighted with the point as they got out of jail free. Hunt gave us better balance imo and Wright gave us some direct running & cross 4 goal

As a staunch critic of GTFC board I recognise the ONLY thing that matters in next 2 mths is FL survival. Relegation destroys the youth focus blueprint many of us support so even if you cant stand the board, hate players, your loud total, unequivocal support is required at BP.

The team is in a rut and the manager must be removed in the hope of a new face galvanising a response. Doing nothing is not an option. The biggest worry for me is that the whole set up is in the same rut. We must unite to bring about change and then drive the club forward.
