I know that we are still in League One 16:51 - Feb 16 with 1730 viewsdominiciawful

but it feels to me like the "Banter Era" may just have drawn to a close.

After false dawns and upturns in form and optimism over the years which were ultimately built on sand, I think we are truly now on a sustainable, upwards trajectory. Even during our best spells under MM, it felt to me like our football would only ever get us so far, and it was probably clear for years under Evans that we would never go forward under him. Hopefully the Charlton and Barrow debacles were the final chapter. New ownership, new chairman, new chief executive, new set-up, new manager, new coaching staff and new players are all now working together. I feel positive without having that negative feeling in the back of my mind anymore.

Poll: Which manager of the Marcus Evans era do you dislike the most?

Couldn't agree more. It no longer feels likes it's just about to go wrong, for the first time in 20 years!

Well if THAT doesn't jinx it... ;)

No, I agree. All power to the manager. There's no "i" in McK... :)

Its approaching season ticket renewal time. Things always feel better at renewal time.

Hell, somebody somewhere probably even has a whiteboard on their wall with a season ticket engagement and renewal strategy mapped out on it.

Hopefully no more twists and turns, but seems we have people who know how to run a football club now, and a promising, young technical manager.

Almost like they’re thinking like a well-run business….

Bent: Something's Got to Change at Town, Fans Are Telling Me the Soul's Been Ripped Out of the Club

As you can see that interview with Darren Bent was just 12 months ago. How things have changed in such a short space of time, they needed to, otherwise, we would have continued our downward trajectory under Marcus Evans.Anyone listening to the podcast featuring Ashton and Mckenna knows now that we are at last in good hands

Most of the current good feeling is due to KM, and I hope the promising start continues.

Very impressed with him so far, feels like the early days of Burley.

It won't officially end till we're promoted as far as I'm concerned. Our continued presence in this league is a stain.

We're 9th in the third tier of English football. As far as I'm concerned, until we're a competitive Championship club the banter era continues (albeit with cause for optimism).

Yep, back to the championship is the only way to exit this era. We were in full banter 10 ish games ago vs Barrow so let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Things are looking promising though.

The day we don't have to play at grounds like this is when the banter era finishes imo.




I'm assuming that's a factual picture?


But the point being that we should be playing in from of 25000 fans each week not 10 men and a dog plus 2k ipswich fans. Roofless away ends. 3 aided grounds. Frozen pitches and mud fields.

Most Championship teams don't get 25k. Tinpot bastards.
