Doom and Gloom,  and Opportunity and potential!!!!

The Wings were always on a loser when they got promoted to  the Conference.  A team built mostly on loan players and constantly changing, playing against full time professional teams,  a manager  who was always going to be head hunted, a poor financial position and just recovering from near bankruptcy, and a ground with  facilities worse than the "Calais jungle", plus crowds way below the Conference average.   What was achieved was nothing short of a miracle!

Yes, we are all bitterly disappointed with the current League position and the probability of relegation. The last 3 years has been a real "Eye Opener"  on the requirements  for  what is effectively  the 4th division of the Football League.  This has not been a happy time from the playing side,  and even less so, when looking at the set ups and facilities  other teams in the conference.  

Welling is a housing suburb of Bexley, with little investment opportunity for  the Wings  from  local commercial busineeses.  If the club is to move on it needs major investment in all areas of the club over the next few years!   Hopefully the club will be able to  hold its position in the  Conference South and enable some stability again.  

The WUSA meeting  next Saturday to me is a complete waste of time, 101 questions will be  asked and nothing material will be derived  accept for a few minor complaints will be corrected.  Why the Hobbins family want to  expose themselves to  a tirade is beyond me.  Everyone will come away even more dejected.

There are a billion and one reasons which need addressing if we want to  see the Wings arrive in the 21st Century.  The club is desperately in need of short and long term plans.  The Club is still and will be in higher end of Non League Football, and a new way and innovation is required to  take the club into  the next 50 years.  The Hobbins family need a legacy to  ensure their hard work in taking a team from Danson Park  to  the Conference and making the club a part of the Local Community.

There are still a lot of passionate fans  to turn this around. The work WUSA and other Volunteers undertake for the club  is more than a invaluable asset.  A complete restructuring of the club is required and everyone should be part of the process.  The ideas and potential opportunities need to be explored ,without any feasibility review the club will just drag on down the same path.  We need to  find a new path to  a more sunny and scenic view.
