Be careful what you wish for

If the Malaysians do not carry out their plans and walk and the worst happens.
How many from west Wales , Neath port talbot, Bridgend and up the valleys will make the long trek to support AFC Cardiff or whatever it is, play in the lowest tier of the English pyramid system on a wet Saturday afternoon never mind about a midweek game.
People need a proper reality check on the available options.
Is it better to swallow the bitter pill and still have a club to support.......

I do not see any talk at multi millionaire backed consortiums waiting to pick up the pieces.......

Any buyers, and fans can be included in that, can just wait for Slippery Vinny and his mates to hang themselves. They've clearly used enough rope.

And whats all this about West Wales? You saying something about the "national club of Wales bit"?
You got some "corporate synergy" in mind?
Pray tell, what the next "genius move" will be? Why don't you tell us?

Like some of us don't already know... Not.

All I am saying is that if a new club rises from the ashes, many fans who live away will not make the trek to see lower non league football....

I know we are not Man UTD, same type of scenario, AFC Manchester was going to grow from the ashes, Man U are still selling out every game, given time it will be all forgotten, the same as what is happening down the City, the fans that are saying they will not go to any games will be replaced by other supporters and that is fact.

I don't see an alternative being offered, there is no consortium waiting in the wings, this country is broke, it is bancrupt, we do not have any alternatives, if VT walks we will be on our ass, look at Glasgow Rangers, more tradition than ours, bigger club, greater fan base, can't find a buyer at this time, these are difficult times, it is better we survive as a club untill we have an alternative option.

No room for compromise? I hope there is.

I agree with the rest, though.
