I asked this question in cobi's mr ambassador thread but i feel it warrants its own thread instead.

So its coming up to the first anniversary of James Brent buying the club and in the last year what has changed for the better and for the worse in and around the club? and what would you say needs to happen by the time the 2nd anniversary comes.

i'll chip in with my highs and lows if any later on as its late.

I've become even more disenfranchised and detached from my club.

We've got a really good kit that all the fans love. Oh and there's big flags on poles.

Something and nothing changed. We are still on our uppers though marginally better than previoulsy.

The club is still running at a (budgeted) loss. Recently (at the senoir greens) one of the directors said that an extra 1500 on the gate would help. Whether thats on top of the 800 (that an estimate of £16000 per game) missing from the opening game of the season and now I'm not sure.

We can play better in patches but can't manage it for a whole game. So we are slightly less rubbish than last year. Aiming for promotion this year seems a distant dream.

We have more flags but the sheen is coming off and it's becoming lack lustre with every home draw or defeat. Make no mistake a home win will be hailed a victory for Forza. (as an aside I'm dreading Forza away days - can feel them coming in my waters).

The chuckle brothers continue to interfere away from the spotlight in matters that really shouldn't concern them. The retreat to the more sycophanted corners of the internet is a worry where no challenge is entertained and naysayers freaks and weirdos simply blocked. It's the internet equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and going na na na na can't hear you.

What's changed:

We're 8 places higher up.
We're certain we'll survive beyond the next few weeks.
We have (in my opinion) a manager who has a clear vision for the long-term of how he wants us to play football and is trying to drill it into us.

What hasn't:

*We're still not doing as well as we should be, on the pitch, in the short term.

Andy Carroll is no longer worth £35 Million.

Finding out how many times 30 goes into 15 is now a criminal investigation rather than a GCSE maths question.

Season tickets are now called memberships.

Kenny Dalglish now has the perfect credentials to be the next England manager.

Dane Bunney's least favourite 11 is now a scoreline and not Liverpool.

Free Pussy Riot is an Amnesty International cause and not a Manchester United Christmas party.

Windsor Boys are now obnoxious priveliged public schoolboys again.

The word GHOST must now be written in capitals, or if spoken, be said in a deep voice accomponied by an echo, by law.

Lee Jameson no longer wants my address.

A home defeat to Aldershot is now acceptable as long as we still have a club to support.

We've now been in the 2nd round of TWO cup competitions that aren't the Devon Bowl.

Freathy is even further ahead in the prediction league.

Leigh Rapson now knows the Trust and Supporters Direct rulebook inside out.

X-Isle now knows that if his house catches fire the local Fire Brigade will sit playing cards chuckling "feck You Smiffy" while it lights up the Crawley night sky.

Gordon Sparkes is now paid a pound for every time he mentions Pasoti, Ian Newell and Forza Verde, and is off to Barbados in April instead of Butlins.

A tape recording of a Carl Fletcher team talk has been released:

We have a Club President who is extremely active in the honorary role, and loves to show visiting clubs how the role should be fulfilled:

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

We are 8 league places and 9 points better off, but the heating bill is now back in the hands of the club owner.

And the biggy, Peter Ridsdale has left the building cheers cheers cheers so there is a God.
