To be fair I think he is interested as am I - and I have not watched a single game at the new club.
I do not believe for one moment that there is anyone who watches town now or who used to watch that doesn’t want the new club to be successful.
We all have our reasons for either backing the new club by watching or staying away.
Personally it’ll take far more than a a couple of promotions from village leagues to convince me the club is viable. There is no doubt that this new incarnation seems to be doing everything right this time off the field but it’s early days yet and for me personally there are still unanswered questions from one or two at the new club that were involved with the last failure. That’s not to say it was their fault but for me the third financial collapse since 1990 has left a bitter taste. The first time Boro were saved at the last minute - the second time IN liquidated the club and the third time- we we all know how that ended up.
Rebuilding the towns football club will take time but trust also needs rebuilding because at the end of the day people spend their hard earned supporting it.
My own personal opinion is that despite having a population to support a high level no league club, the town just does not back the Institution in sufficient numbers to make the thing viable without a big investor. And getting locals to trust the thing with their cash each week ain’t easy when you consider the mayhem the club has offered for many years.
Fair play to those who still carry a torch for it by backing it at the turnstile
but I don’t believe for one minute that any lapsed supporters who are still pissed off after yet another collapse don’t wish the institution well.
