Cadden scores hat-trick for Forest Green but best of all Bombscare McGintys' og fucks up Hopkins weekend.

Let’s not forget this is a support whose songbook includes “fuck the Pope and fuck the Queen”. Looking for a character reference from them is like putting forward Myra Hindley to say you’d make a good baby sitter.

Around 1300 Morton fans for our first proper game back in 18 months is really really poor. Looking back at previous seasons, we had around 2000 under the snake when we started the 2018-2019 season for games against Queens and County but crowds started to fall under JJ and they have never really recovered since. There was a feel good factor that pre season with snake impressing, signing some good players and the fans bought into it, selling over 1100 season tickets. Compare that to this season and its night and day. MCT have a massive job on their hands, firstly ensuring crowds don't fall further and secondly attracting back the 5-600 who have chucked it over the last 3 years. If they can, it adds an extra 200k/year in revenue. Hope they manage it but I'm not convinced.

The crowd yesterday was just under 1,500 but it could and should have been more. The lack of promotion/marketing was a missed opportunity. The problems with the card readers is another example of amateur hour under MCT. If one of my sons had not been looking in on social media we would have arrived at the ground with no idea it was cash only. As for starting a season with fans unable to get their hands on new strips... I really want to buy in to fan ownership but to date it has been one misstep after another. More the same old same old than a new broom.

I note that 'the paper tickets don't work' through the gate as well today, as another lingering effect of Iron Man's decision to spunk £100k on shan, white elephant turnstiles.
