... vented their anger after the 1-1 draw with Cambridge at Vetch Field.

The managing director said that the 'Lewis out' chants hurt him but he would take it on the chin and try to sort things out at the club.

"I don't think the demonstration was totally unexpected," he said.

"But we as a board are paid to get things right and the fans pay their money to watch football. They have every right to complain when things go wrong. "It does hurt me when I hear my name being chanted and maybe it would have been nice if there had been other people here so their names could have been shouted instead of mine. But I will take it on the chin be-cause I am big enough to take it."

Lewis said it would have served no purpose to have spoken to the group of fans who were pitchside on Saturday. "I would have loved to have gone down there and spoken to them all," he said, "but that would have solved nothing. It would be much better if I met small groups of fans and we could discuss club matters. "I won't dodge any bullets. I am there to be shot at, but if and when we arrange these meetings, they have to be sensibly run.

There is no point in them turning into slanging matches. I will then try and put the facts on the table because there have been a lot of people who have been putting two and two together and making five. I want to get them to make things add up to four.

These meetings could go a long way to getting things back on track." Lewis is unsure what his position would be if and when new owners take the club over from Ninth Floor.

"People have called for me to go," he said, "and when the new owners come in, if they want me to go then I will leave, but until then there is a lot of work to be done."
