Fan frustration and winless in six. What is going on at Stevenage? writes Nub News' Boro writer Owen Rodbard.

After Saturdays dismal 4-0 loss to Forest Green, Stevenage fans took to social media to vent their anger with the current situation at the club.

Fans are frustrated, and not just with results on the pitch.

Ticket prices, stewarding and overall lack of concern for the fans have been hot topics recently.

Differing opinions are also arising about management and their superiors, and about whether the club needs to take another direction.

Personally, I don't believe sacking anyone will change things currently.

The start of the season was so promising, on the pitch performances were a far cry from the start of last season and the club were comfortably in the top half.

Results since the 4-1 loss to Bradford have been disappointing, but merely a bump in the proverbial road.

Maybe I see through rose tinted glasses because I have a loyalty to Alex Revell, or perhaps that I tend to see the good in situations rather than the bad - but I believe results will change.

Off the pitch is where I've seen many examples of the club lacking in its treatment of fans.

Ticket prices have always been an issue at the club.

As a full time university student, paying £20 to watch a league two match is way too much.

The club is trying to attract a new generation of football fans in a completely wrong way.

Why not lower the ticket prices, especially for students, and even allow access to a bar at half time for the East Terrace?

Football is an escape from reality and not just a game, it's a social event.

What's better than going to a game with all your mates and for two whole hours escaping this mess of a world we live in.

The match day experience that we once had as fans has seemingly been lost as the club's infrastructure has grown.

It's easy to understand fan frustration, but the good times will return.
