Just one further point re Charlie's 'blind fan' comment. Just because you go to every game it doesn't mean you agree with everything the club does. For example I have been extremely critcial of our recruitment and selection policy. However some of us aren't childish enough to put our toys in the pram and stop going just because not everything is being done the way we want it to be done.'"
I for one would never do that. After a loss like last Sunday's it tends to go like this for me as the week progresses. Disgust at the performance on leaving the ground. Waking up and then remembering it all over again the day after and thinking what a bunch of... but by the end of the week I actually want to go and support the team again possibly more than if we have just tanked a team.
Granted my expectations are lower now by quite a lot but I keep going. I am sure no one would consider me blind to the clubs faults. So despite the fact my eyes are wide open to them I still go and support the team. So in that sense it is a religion for me too.
I think Charlie's 'blind fan' comment is meant more at people who can't see any fault no matter how often they go.
