But when your money stops going into the club, don't come back and moan that the club hasn't moved forward.'"
Bang on there ....these fans who are upping and leaving cos we aren't winning trophies and signing world class superstars must presume players and their wages are free and that we're just chosing not to sign them. Without better players we probably won't win a major trophy, with less fans to help pay for these players we have no chance !!
I've been watching this club for over 25 years now and i've yet to see us win one of the 2 big trophies (i wont say major cos to me finish top of the league and getting an award for it is major) although we have been mighty close, it is frustrating that we haven't managed to make that next step up, like has been said we may not now and our chance may have gone, but if myself and the other few hundred fans of the time, not to mention various board members, coaches, and club stalwarts such as Ken Davy, Keith Burhouse etc had given up because we weren't sweeping all before us this club would have died many years before we ever got near to competing in the top league again, it nearly did - twice, thankfully some great people never gave in and it survived and it's growing...it will still be growing till we hit the jackpot, but if you haven't got the patience to wait for it then you will miss out when it does happen.
Thing is though there are plenty of people threatening to pull their support and it is quite worrying - not that these people want to go - but that no others are coming through to replace them. By all means be disappointed, voice your opinion etc but to withdraw your support when the club is desperate for more is a bit of a kick in the teeth for all the hard work that has gone into getting the club just to the point we are at now, why not stop and help take it that bit further then you will maybe get to see your wish of us lifting the big one !!!!
