    No one is saying they know the actual budget but it is obvious when you can see some of the talent on the pitch and level of experience that they would be demanding a wage on the higher end of the scale along with the signing of Ade. 
    I don't recall many if anyone on here stating that the ref had a good game.
    I cannot speak for the players obviously, however the people on here that have been disappointed and stated that on here also haven't been negative towards the players at all, as a whole i think they would like to play for the club with passionate loyal fans with growing attendances.  The main way to keep people coming back though is good performances and results and unfortunately towards the end of the season that hasn't been the case as much as we would have liked.
    Do you go on the forums of all these other clubs that you have listed quoting their support for their clubs regardless? I mean I am pretty sure the large majority on here have supported the club regardless, just because we are disappointed and have an opinion doesn't mean we haven't supported the team.   
    When the club went into administration and we lost everything we were still there and we are still here now so please refrain from questioning the support of the club and the team.

    Is there any reason you're resorting to name calling? Does that achieve anything? Our chairman backed the club with the sole aim of getting promotion and that hasn't happened. We had the league in the bag and threw it away, do you deny that? - It shouldn't have come down to a playoff game because of the risk of getting a poor ref or not turning up on the day. Aveley weren't that good but they didn't need to be because they knew what they were going to get from us and set up to counter that as they have done the other two times they've beaten us this season - Was it Einstein that said that the definition of insanity was to do the same experiment on multiple occasions and expect different results?

    You can't blame the awful ref on the capitulation of the second half of the season, how many times did we throw leads away? the mentality/back bone of the squad wasn't strong enough it's plain to see -  as soon as soon as we go under the cosh we crumble and again the stats back this up, it's not me making it up or having a moan about Stimson.  What do you mean 'why have we never back Stimo and the boys?' we have a great set of supporters who back the team home and away

    Not going to comment on everything above but there’s two points I would make.
    Firstly Colin saved this club - for those of us that can remember that state of the club he inherited and where we are today , Colin (and Jimmy et al.) were and have been miracle workers. Not always seen eye to eye with Colin but if anyone doubts the commitment and effort he has shown to this club over a long period of time I’m happy to discuss in person anything about that. That’s why he’s got a stand named after him. 
    Secondly, Alex has been amazing for this club and after his personal efforts towards Hornchurch particularly over the last couple of years, I was hoping that this was going to be rewarded with a promotion but it just feels the problems were on the pitch rather than off it. I don’t for one minute question the commitment of the players but there’s clearly something wrong there.

    No one is taking anything away from the club, player or Stimmo for that matter regarding the FA Trophy, for that run and day out I will be forever grateful.  Having been up and down the country and around Essex in the ESL I could never had imagined Hornchurch Football Club playing at Wembley let alone winning. 
    There a large number of passionate supporters over the clubs that have dedicated a lot or time, hard work and graft for many years that are entitled to have an opinion so apologies if it doesn't match yours. 
    Fully aware Mickey covered for Remi and he has done a great job there for us, however Mickey is a superb right back and when Remi was back we persisted with playing him at left wing back. Why?
    Can you not see the frustration though given the position we were in? we had 4 games in hand, we are not entitled to anything but to be in that position and end up not going up is very hard to take.
    I am not knocking the players, you cant fault their commitment at all and you could see that at the end they were gutted as are we as supporters.
    Why is it that at Non League level a manager is not allowed to take some level of responsibility for the outcome of the season?
    Alex has been incredible and we are extremely fortunate to have him at our football club and i really hope he sticks around.
    As Kimble said if it wasn't for McBride in the past I don't think we would have a football club to support right now given what others tried to do to us.
    Also feel a shoutout is required to all volunteers throughout the club form the supporters club to Little Tel as they sacrifice their experience on days like yesterday to ensure it goes off ok for everyone else.

    Let me just reiterate what I previously said - our budget is extremely competitive due to the fantastic chairman we are so lucky to have, they have brought in players who should really have gotten us over the line but didn't. Facts are we under achieved second half of the season and the stats back it up. 
    Are saying the lack of team spirit was key for our failure? if so that's with the manage and his team to build this surely? what about the crazy substitutions? persistence in playing Parcell left back, signing a striker when we were crying out for midfielders, the lack of mentality throwing away so many leads, we are incapable of adapting during games its one way and hope it works.
    You mention the lack of togetherness at the club then spout absolute unnecessary abuse directed at Colin and the board? Colin has done wonders for this club and without him I'd dread to think where we would be.

    We did not get promoted because if today’s result, it was over the last 2 months throwing away a large points margin. the title was in our hands and we let it go.
    from what I have seen of the games we have changed the way we play , it’s long ball after long ball and hope for something. Dikko up front is at he best when running into through balls all I see is him trying to win headers with back to goal. Nashey was wasted out wide put him in the middle  receive the ball to feet and turn play those balls turn their defence.
    Then have pace on both wings stretch the game make space, overlaps didn’t see one overlap in either game that I recall.
    the list goes on……
    As painful as it was to admit to myself as soon as we went behind I knew we would lose.
    It’s now upto the owners to make tough decisions and if they keep the current management then for them to make some tough decisions as if we continue to play the way we have nothing will change.

    All I ever see on social media when Hornchurch get a big game is people moaning , criticising, whinging. What I never see anytime as anyone saying thank you to all the helpers who:-
    give up hours and I mean hours of free time at times like this. It’s not uncommon at times to be early hours of the morning. After all they have day jobs 
    every home game probably do not see half the game sometimes none of the game so people can enjoy the experience at Hornchurch. Most of them are there at 10am doing all sorts of things cleaning toilets, making players food , sweeping up rubbish the list goes on 
    Its easy to stand back and criticise, but if they offered to help and see what they do I think these people would be less critical 
    So from a Chin from afar who can’t be there I thank you all , and hope every fan  enjoys the day, supports the team and the team goes up.

    None of us can truly appreciate what goes on behind the scenes at all levels on and off the pitch to make Hornchurch the amazing club it is. 
    If we lived on the mainland we would be there week in, week out, home and away...but get over when we can and follow the match updates religiously, no matter where we are in the world. 
    I had the foresight a long time ago to book a contingency weekend over to London that would include the May Day just in case and here we are...see you all on Monday!
