Me too.
After 48 years (first went as a small child in 1969) I think I've earned the right to be considered a stalwart. For most of those years we were average at best (a few years of being garbage in among). That period from 1997 to 2005, whilst extremely enjoyable, is actually the exception rather than the rule.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.: |
|
| We'll still be going as long as there's a team to support. The specific problem I have is that while I understand sport is cyclical and there's always some hope somewhere, the trials at Bulls do seem to be never ending. And my kids are beginning to grumble as they don't remember the good times and have less resilience. And if the kids fall out of love with the Bulls & the game then we're really stuffed

| Seems daft to have a go at each other since we've all carried on going where about 6000 others haven't.
However everyone has a breaking point.

| On a personal level.I will always go home and away because I love going(started in 73).The real alarming thing that smacks between the eyes reading the posts on here is the number of long term supporters/die hards if you like who have finally had enough.The majority of people on here are passionate long standing supporters but who slowly but surely are turning there backs on the club they love.Im guessing for many that is something they do not do lightly.How do we stop this happening(winning a few games would be a start)but I think it probably runs deeper than that.People support a club not just to see them winning but to feel part of something special,something worthwhile and something with a purpose.Right now we have none of these and so good people are being lost to the club.I dont have the answers but will say it deeply saddens me that it has come to this.

I honestly couldn't care less if we don't win another trophy in 20 years. I just want a club I can be proud of and feel part of. Obviously I'd like to see us winning a few more games but it isn't the biggest issue for me personally.

Wasn't far behind you JB started attending as the 4th generation in 76', and my own kids are now the 5th - but the current situation may have finally broken me.
I will not attend until I get some clear indication of how our new owners intend to rehabilitate the club, doesn't have to happen over night, but some indication of a plan would be really helpful right now. All I can go on right now is that there is no plan and they have no clue, or they do know perfectly well but have chosen to treat their fans badly. Either way it stinks.
I fear there will be under 3,000 there today as more people like me decide they won't be take for granted any longer.

| Poll suggests a slight majority.
54% of those that voted said they would not be going to the game.
Interestingly the majority of those not going was because of Cha-Lo
And of the 46% that voted they would go to game majority were because they had already paid.
Whether you went or not - this is not an indication of your loyalty - we all want our team to do well, but the majority of us have said enough is enough

| I didn't go. I asked my daughter if she wanted to and she said "there is no point, we just lose all the time and it's embarrassing. We were rubbish last week."
So two more who did not pay to go today. And a very real danger of losing a young fan for good.
