I sometimes think the longer you have been watching them (50+ yrs in my case), the harder it is to take.

Yes there have been even worse times when we really suffered. I think it is true that the move to a brand spanking stadium has made it worse to take. We expected a new dawn and we got....

Having said that I haven't quite given up yet but will just have to miss Sunday as I'm in the south of France!

Dont do it. When it all comes good again the guilt will eat at you forever. Dont become one of those fair weather fans. Get down there and shout , boo, whatever. The club needs everyone of us. Things are going to get better.

Great post. I started in 1966 and agree with all those sentiments. Thank God I'm on holiday fort the next two weeks so don't have to make the decision

My previous response was a bit short , I'll elaborate a bit more on this one

If you dont feel like going to watch your club ' yes your club , not Arthurs club , not Paul or Alan rowleys club , not even ' bless his heart ' Tommy sales club , YOUR club that is fine , you dont have to go , but it is the club that you support , not just a particular bunch of players or a certain coach

If you dont feel like going fine , but it is your decision , it is not [ or should not ] be affected by how good , bad or indifferent you feel about any personell at the club

If it hurts , dont go , but dont blame anybody else if you dont go , it is not compulsary , if it doesn't entertain , dont go , you cannot be certain it will entertain

For me that is part of the fun , will it be good , or will it be bad , For many years I went to Old Trafford when the expectation was there every year that they would win something , they didn't , eventually I stopped going more because I changed , not ' it ' changed

Strange though it may seem I am enjoying the scare factor that a potential relegation has brought , the games actually mean something

At the moment we are getting something our friends in SL are not getting , something even the fans of the clubs at the top of our league are not getting

Our games mean something , every one of them is crucial

Scary isn't it

So go to the games if you want , or dont if you dont want to , but dont blame anybody else for your decision , it is yours to make and yours alone , nobody will feel any worse about you if you make the decision in this way , even yourself

All the best

I personaly would still go and watch my beloved team even if we were at the bottom of championship 1 will never give up on them come on leigh.

I think in fairness we did seem to lift the players at the Sheffield game, and we need to do it again on sunday.

i agree ian, best atmosphere at sheffield game for ages mate.

It was matey lets hope its as good if not better on sunday i will try just as hard hope the players respond like the Sheffield game.

Agreed but we need to do it again on sunday as well as against Toulouse, and Whitehaven because these are the crucial games as well as Gateshead away anything we get against Fax (bonus point) will be great so come on Leythers lets not turn in to a load of Humbles Supporters and watch when we are winning get down to the LSV on Sunay and sing your hearts out for the lads

Don't think I'll have time, moving house this weekend.

Leigh fans over the years have proved themselves far far worse than those of the inferior team from across the borough, they have always supported thier team throughout the years.

Times are hard,we are not a good side...but they need our support/encouragement.Supporting Leigh has never been "a walk in the park",but its a part of our heritage/history.Lets stop the bickering and support the team 100%.Sunday is vital,all leigh fans need to be there,no sick notes,no letters from mum/dad.Make the effort.
