Supporters?

I think one of the problems especailly with the younger groups, is that we had a couple of years of reaching finals etc and a few jumped on the band wagon and became so called supporters, since then we've had a massive downfall in regard to on the field performances due to poor managerial decisions ie player recruitment and tactics. Rather then disappearing back into the holes they came out of, they remain on the terraces. Slating the team and battering individual players confidence. A lot of the supporters haven't endured the really dire times, going to away games terrible weather conditions at poor grounds against poor teams and hoping you can snatch a victory.

Don't get me wrong i'm all for getting new faces on the terraces and improving attendances etc but, if all they going to do is slate the team i'd sooner them not be there.

As for the older generation well i think that's just the average good old english moaner, who no matter if we're winning everything or losing everything they'll still find something to have a good moan about.

Granted over the last couple of seasons there's been very little to be happy about, people should still try and get behind the team. The supporters used to lift the team now it like the supporters just wait for the team to try and lift them. There's a guy at work who i constantly have debates with about trying to be just a little optimistic and to try get behind the team no matter what, at times it's like i'm trying to convince a Rovers supporter.
