Excellent post

I think the fans have been remarkably patient this year however it's probably eroded much of the goodwill that has been built up over the past few seasons.
If we don't hit the ground running next year I can see things becoming hostile quite quickly.

Hostile? What are you planning??

excellent post chris 71,hit the nail right on the head.

Think Chris 71 said everything in his post.Just got an e-mail from the club about next seasons pass.Think the club are going to have to do a bit of recruitment on the field to get the fans interested again.

Very good post Chris 71,i could'nt agree more,in fact i doubt very few could really disagree with the post.
Like Dabhand i too have had an email from the club about season passes and agree that some recruitment has to be made or a big drop off of passes will happen.

You know what I mean. Fans getting on the players backs, booing, rubbish banners, that sort of thing.

Ah... just the type of supporter we need.

So the stadium should just be a sterile atmosphere where people applaud politely should it?

If players and coaches alike don't perform and effort and execution are minimal resulting in poor performances, you'd expect paying customers not to voice their displeasure?
People in the sporting spotlight aren't niaive enough to not expect praise and condemnation, the whole point of being a fan is the emotional rollercoaster it takes us all on.
To criticise people for expression is ludicrous.
I guess you'd rather have a crowd of 4000 who blindly accept everything rather than 12000 vociferous supporters.
It's the clubs job to attract and retain supporters.
Comments like yours in case you haven't guessed infuriate me.
No 1 fan is better than the next.

If you're happy to "get on players backs", boo the team and rubbish the club then that's your choice, it certainly doesn't surprise me.

I like your assumption there it made me chuckle.
What doesn't surprise you anyway?

Odd that, because the phrase "accepting mediocrity" is banded about a lot, with the assumption that for some supporters it must be true as they're not criticising the club and players left, right and centre.

There's nothing I can do to influence the results on the pitch.
The only thing I can do to help is buy a season pass and contribute in a very small way to its financial wellbeing.
And support the club, it's only a game when all said and done, and anyone who finds matches a "borefest" should find something else to do.

Leon Pryce summed it up very well....

And you really show yourself up to be a sanctimonious pillock, but just an assumption based on the mediocrity of your post.

Yes I found our last 2 home games boring but yet stayed until the end and still attended.
I'm a passholder like you and have been for many years.
My outlook on life certainly does differ to yours and whilst I have never booed or called players i respect the opinions of others as long as lawful, something you seem incapable of doing.

So whilst I may not agree with booing or banners I respect the right of others to do so.

But anyway this is boring now and shown your assumption about me to be massively flawed.

Thanks for that, it didn't take long for you to become abusive.

great post
