70's Mike

agreed at least Branfoot never blamed the fans for his crap team

agreed but it is the snide comments that have put people off him

there is some truth in his sentiments BUT the timing stinks as usual and it makes you think that it is all delibrate to shift blame for poor performances. Rupert TRYS to pretend the club did not exist before 1997, looks like Wotte thinks the first half of the season did not exist either. Anyway nice to be called a kid again They are so out of touch with the popular opinion in the city, as our those on here who defend the statement because it is factually correct

this thread just proves how crap we are , we do not have a best 11 , might as well put 15 names exluding Davis , in a hat and draw out the next 10

no problem the whole area where it was and Spa Tavern was swallowed up by West Quay

i said Adam And Eve not Darby and Joan

no they normally come out when the rest of us have gone to bed, less chance of arguments that way

no one mentioned the Adam and Eve

bored with all this now, lets go into admin and hopefully start again. i cannot see things ever getting better with lowe, wilde and crouch involved in the present set up. feel sorry for the younger fans but at 55 in april i have my memories of what this club is really about

as all games you buy a ticket through the ticket office they know how many they have sold ? no one pays at the turnstile

more to the point how many of those with season tickets who are counted anyway will be going. i know my youngest son (14) will not go

i would be interested to know how many of those played more than 10 games in total

the lunatic fringe do not give up , unlike the corporate gods promoted by rupert who deserted the club as soon as the going got tough. As for things looking better under Wotte , rose coloured specs springs to mind

what a load of hatred

but that is the issue we now need teams above us to lose more games than we do to stay up , how is it in our hands they have to lose for us to have any chance

i do remember Dennis Hollywood running alongside Summerbee near the East Stand and then just thumping him. Men were Men in those days i think Summerbee got up and hid for the rest of the game

for people of my age bracket that does not need to be said because i believe you can be anti lowe and give the team 100% backing during a game , but equally i want to see players prepared to die for the shirt , a bit like Swansea game not roll over and have their clogs removed and tummys tickled

In the last 47 years of support the one that springs to mind, and has been already mentioned, is John Bailey. The verbal battering we got was unique imo. The strange thing was when he went to Everton their fans could understand what it was all about.

i agree with the sentiment and for every home game, and i have only missed 2, i think the crowd have honoured their side of the agreement and been let down badly by the club and its policy. after 47 years of support and watching the club grow for 42 of those years the last 5 has un done all the good work which came before, i have already decided that if we are down before the last home i will attend and spend the afternoon getting as near to the directors box as i can to vent my anger. If i get arrested or thrown out so be it

i agree but with rupert picking the team/players i actually believe that it would make no dfference if we had a full house ever week , with loads of noise because the team selection and style of play is not suited to win consistently in the CCC it is imo TO LATE

thing is if saturdays game was the last one of the season even winning it does not save us.

i know WHO i would rather have a drink with

all home games but i own son's are losing the will to go these days so away games are now and again. You really have to live here to see and feel how down the area is because of all that has happened at SMS, bloody depressing

like we did with JP

if your right about the score i will be home early for my tea again , especially if Preston go 3 up
