The top and bottom of the matter at the moment as far as I'm concerned is, there's a few very happy fans, (and Sky) and a vast majority, the rest, who are totally fed-up. If anyone thinks this is good for the game, a levelling down, then I would strongly disagree. There's only so many times that David beating Goliath is entertaining, especially when Goliath is really only another David. I want Goliath v Goliath back. I want normal service resumed! This season is fast becoming a complete scrub-out. What a blow-out if we get David v David in a third full GF.

Not being able to get to the match very often (if at all), I tend to rely on Sky's coverage to keep up with Saints. I am currently mulling over cancelling the Sports package. The football season is over and Saints just bore the @rse off me. My girlfriend, who was really up for following Saints with me when we started dating rarely shows any interest in watching them now either.

It may not cost the club money in terms of ticket revenue lost, but Eammon needs to know that he is losing fans; fans that have followed the team for the majority of their lives and spent a hell of a lot of money doing so.

Its all about high standards at this club which in the fully professional era is very much in high demand by the supporter base. There is also the style "Saints Way" of playing the game with or without high profile players. All the criticism last season and this season is our attitude, effort, commitment etc which is seriously lacking be it recruitment, coaching, players this is very much when we are winning as well as losing.
For the last 20 years Saints have been a top 4 club and the supporters are now sending the message out to the club that this slippage is not acceptable, Wigan and Leeds are now going through a similar scenario, the main reason is probably the quality of players available. The less profile clubs have recruited very well but they are not a good enough quality to raise the standard of Superleague.
For example I would like to see a better quality player playing this season who are superior than these who all played in the same seasonal era.

And these are just british players, overseas players are just the same.

Really getting bored of these David v Goliath battles. Think that's three us Hull fans have now had to endure against you this season.
