One year on whats changed?

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.

Ditto

The pasties are better.

Everything else is still shit.

We were 24th in Division 4, we are now 16th.

As above

I'm even less inclined to spend my money on Argyle

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.
