Superb read. Captures it well from my PoV

Great article.  Sums up how I feel at the moment.

Goes right to the crux of the matter and fully represents the deep disappointment felt by all Saints supporters, many of whom will either give up going to St Marys or forgo following the Saints away from home.
Those of us who blindly continue watching the team will carry the scars of the event for years to come and the Commercial team at St Marys will have a hell of a job promoting the club to sponsors.
Likewise trying to convince new players to come here will be a challenge probably only overcome by offering larger payments within a restricted operating budget.
I still firmly believe that the punishment did not fit the crime but we have to live with life's realities.
