No matter what you might think of Brown, some of the recent performances, and some of the individuals previously or currently playing for the club, everyone reading this is a Welling supporter I trust .... or a troll or sad individual. I wrote on a previous thread that was deleted about being supporters, and that everyone, manager, players etc will be long gone, short, medium or long-term, long before most supporters reading this will be. Therefore, no matter what your personal opinions on them as people, or ability, if they are employed by Welling they should be supported. KSA was coined on here earlier in the season, perhaps rightly, and some people were shouted down for that. His goal when it came was cheered more than any other, AKA Eddie the Eagle, that is being a supporter surely?
It doesn't matter if you are a hardcore "every game" supporter or a casual fan, we're all supporters.
I, and I'm sure many others, will be gutted if we are relegated - and we won't get back in a hurry. So let's do everything we can in the last few weeks to ensure we do what we can to stay up in playing our part.
I've read comments on here for years about lack of singing/support at games, us being quiet, negative threads on players, managers, team selection, results, finances, club officials, the works.
More than ever your club needs your support during these difficult times. Anyone can be a supporter/bang wagon rider when things are good. How much do you want us to stay up??
I'd urge a real improvement in supporter at games, by way of numbers, vocal positive noise, and written positive comment or none at all on here.
At least that way if we do go down we can hold our heads high and know we have done our bit ... not wonder what if.
Come on you Wings. 11 games left and Southport at home on the last day of the season. It's going be a Joe Healy special in injury time on the final day. Leaving just enough time for Jamal Fyfield to kick one off the line at the other end to preserve the club's Conference status for another year, before being carried off on the fans shoulders down Welling High Street. 2014-15 will be fondly remembered in Welling United's history as 'the great escape' - the season that spawned a thousand classic Youtube videos. The seven game losing streak after Christmas long forgotten.
Without Brown anything but a win on Sunday will make it very difficult to stay up as we will still need at least 4 wins from our remaining 10 games.
I've looked at our run in along with Alfreton, Southport and Dartford and ours is without doubt the hardest (on paper).
I get your points Chris.
I don't really look at who is playing who at this stage of the season - with titles, play offs and relegation spots there are very few games between now and the end of April with nothing on them.
50 points has been the benchmark for safety (but I think, or rather pray, it will be a few less than that this season!)
Also I don't believe that teams that have won 6/7/8 games all season are suddenly going to win 4 or 5 games between now and the end of the season despite the desperate position they are in??
Assuming Telford have gone it is three from five for the other relegation places so we need to finish in the top two of those five.
On current form no chance but that form will hopefully change sooner rather than later.
That's as positive as I can get at the moment I'm afraid!
Chris you are spot on he needs to go before Sunday, it is very likely we will be in the bottom 4 before KO, and thus a victory with him in charge will feel hollow.
It will very hard to be positive, if Mr Brown is still manager on Sunday. I have been a Welling United supporter since our days in the Athenian league, and have seen managers come and go. Sittford and Smith were bad but Mr Brown is the worse. I wish to disagree with him if he thinks he is a Educated football man . From what I have seen he has completely got rid of any team spirit.
I watched the players warm up before the game on Saturday and it was pathetic, it seem to me that all they did was chase a ball around nobody was take it serious the worse thing was the was no laughter. I was a qualified athletic coach and my athletes would warm up at least 1 hour before a race and they enjoyed it because they were successful.
Also from what I have seen his man management is very poor. Otherwise he would not say stupid things about the supporters to the NLP and say silly things like calling himself a Educated football man when it is oblivious that he is not
I think that Mr Brown should GO NOW as he well out of his depth at Welling United and let us get someone who can get us out of the mess that Mr Brown has got us in

If the "Educated one" can't organise the warm ups what's the chances of him organising 4 wins before the end of the season?
I wonder how Brown will feel after hearing on TV the supporters screaming for his head
I wonder how the team will feel as well if that's going on during the game and I wonder how many people will want to come and watch Welling if that's what how we are portrayed on TV.
Well....even with the shedload of work i have with my new job i WAS coming Sunday (I really cant afford the time) but now....do you know what I am not sure I can be bothered....I have BT sport so.....
I've seen people on here saying they are not coming to a game until Brown has gone. Don't be stupid! Come and support your team, regardless of who is manager!

Mark we all feel like that at times, apart from the last few years watching Welling hasn't been the easiest of things to do but that's what being a Wings fan is all about. Other than the comfort, the commentary, the instant action replays and the far better view what's the benefit of watching football on TV? Not only do we go out all weathers to watch it live but we do so in the humble surroundings of PVR watching a team that more often than not struggling to hold it's own. That's what makes us what we are - Wings fans.
Haven't decided whether to attend on Sunday as I was really down after the last home game and the miserable Saturday I had in windswept industrial estate land Nuneaton. Am really disappointed that after a slow start to the season Jamie got us in a reasonable position but this has now been undone by unnecessary wholesale changes that have not improved the side one bit. Cannot understand why Charlie Penny was dispatched as he always gave 100%, chased everything and is a good player in the making, he has a football brain. Also MH is a genuine trier and has a trick or two up his sleeve.
Mark, with 3257 posts on here you have been with Welling through thick and thin. Do not change because of the situation we find ourselves in at the moment. You know you will miss your usual cuppa, chat and punt on the raffle. Things will change and you know we need all the support we can get at the moment.

In three words I can sum up everything i've learnt in life; it goes on.
If we go along to boo, or not turn up at all, that is hardly going to encourage the team to go flat out to win.
On Sunday, it is vital that we remain Welling UNITED and get right behind the team. Whatever we feel about the comments made on Saturday, winning and staying up are the things that really matter and we can play a part in that.
Things have already changed and not for the better. Need to change again before Sunday, there must be someone out there who has the right experience and is up for a 2 month challenge. What does Lawrie Sanchez do these days for one?
Personally, I can't see us scoring less than 3 on Sunday. Maybe the reason we were slightly below par on Saturday was that the players didn't want to get injured and miss being on the telly. Is it also possible that Mr "I've got footballing knowledge" Brown has played a blinder by deliberately acting like a novice, taking all the flack off the players which will allow them to go into the game with an 'edge'? Genius!

COYW!!
You need to get out of that heated press box and start the "if the Wings are united" chant
Whatever our thoughts are about the "Educated One" we will need to put them aside at the weekend - Sunday is our clubs big day and we must be UNITED and showcase the club in a positive light which means getting behind the team on Sunday refrain from Anti Brown Chants and Birding a particular player on mass despite the temptation whilst the cameras are rolling.

It the same thing all the time on here if you say something that people do not agree with then your a troll, has anyone ever wondered what it would feel for any new supporter that comes on here and get this constant your a troll rubbish I'm sure they would not feel welcome
i will be there on Sunday but I do not feel I have to prove anything to anybody and if people don't like that ban me
Driving past PVR this evening my mind switched to 'gallows' humour. No, not because WE are now rooted in the bottom four after southport's win tonight, but the sight of the tv scaffold gantry behind the goal at the PVR end reminded me just how far OUR 'little' Welling have come? Something which the most recent manager appears to have done his best to take away. I half expected to see a Guy Fawkes style effigy of JB hanging from there! Then I realised how encouraged I am by his removal and whichever of his team may have followed him out of the door. Up to this point I had mainly seen negatives, something I was berated for a few weeks ago here. How quickly times and opinions change and I applaud the Board for not being shy of action. Lets hope it's not too late.
I would like to sincerely wish Faz and whoever is helping him, all the best for the rest of the season and here's hoping they can find the 15 points or so which may secure OUR national league status. And at least dirtford who appear frightened to make any management change are still below us, so there is much to play for.
I have not been commenting here lately for reasons which will be obvious to what appears to me, to be a certain 'select' group of experienced campaigners, who set out to berate and belittle any new member who dares to make a negative comment or opinion about OUR beloved football team. I am not sure whether I am even entering this comment in the right thread so I will copy and paste to where some of this 'select' group appear to continually berate others.
And I wish to make this appeal to this group, we are entering a new and hopefully successful era so how about a new beginning here too. Obviously in this type of democratic and free forum, there will be the occasional opposition supporter who wants to try and put one over on OUR club, that's life, but to question supporters allegiance after just a few entries is to me unreasonable, and, in my eyes, to ask where they will be at the game can be viewed as threatening?
Guys, you know who you are, some even admit in their avatars and text to being "Trollcatchers". You have done your best to try and turn me, an until now former Wings supporter as well as a football supporter, away, and from what I read I think there are others who would say the same. Freedom of speech should not be harnessed, so how about a new beginning? And, as I was chastised by one of you over the signing of Purse, I still stand by my comments then. I wonder what you think now?
Come on Faz, do your best mate, I for one will be rooting for you and the team. I hope you can get Charlie, Malachi and Ben back pdq, with Vose and Jake returning we can give it a best shot? And what's happened to Sam Corne? Is he unfit? At Christmas he was my prime candidate for player of the season! COYW

I would hate it if someone said to me 'your a trolll' as I would have no option but to respond with 'you mean, you're a troll'.

It does worry me that myself and others go out leafleting to attract new support, whilst others seem more determined to scare them off.
It's like Tubbs and Edward from the League Of Gentleman: "This is a local club for local people. There's nothing for you here!"
