Have you written one of your letters to Gartside telling him you want Allardyce sacked, and explaining your reasons? And if so, did he respond?

 

I???m not an idiot, no way is PG going to sack Allardyce while we are finishing top 10 in the Premiership ??? it???s all about money to PG and Allardyce is making plenty of that regardless of his tactics and style.

 

I did write to him about Diouf though, which he replied to.

If Sam's negativity gets us another top 8 finish, then i will continue to back him.

Maybe you should do the same or go and support someone else.

 

Then that???s where you and I differ my friend.

 

I will never put results over performance. I want to be entertained.

 

Where is the enjoyment in watching a boring, negative game but winning 1-0?

 

well if you feel like that go watch basketball,american football, ice hockey or even baseball you,ll not see a 0-0 or boring 1-0 in those will you now

I???m not really into those sports, I prefer soccer.

 

I just want my soccer to be entertaining. Not a lot to ask really is it?

Then start supporting Barcelona or Brazil then.

Joking apart, I cannot understand why I seem to be the only one who wants to be entertained. Surely something inside you wants to see us pass our way to a 5-4 victory rather than win 1-0 with a deflection?

It's not 'your soccer'

 

It is the game it's always been

 

So if you don't like it - leave

 

Close the door on your way out love

i would rather win 5-4 than 1-0, the question was..would you rather we lost 5-4 than won 1-0.

Your "work" is now null and void.

In truth, yes I would rather lose 5-4 than win a boring contest 1-0.

 

Obviously we would be relegated, but we???d score over 150 goals which can???t be bad.

I consider you less of a fan when you post that you wish to change allegance and support another club:

I think we???re all pretty much agreed that the atmosphere at The Reebok these days is pants. Combine that with the complete lack of entertainment, tactically naive manager and sky-high ticket prices and it???s clear we???re getting a pretty raw deal.

 

A few days ago I suggested season ticket holders shouldn???t renew their tickets to force the club to reduce prices. And while most of you were happy to do this, cheaper ticket prices are not going to change the entertainment on the field or suddenly wake the living dead that frequent the Reebok at 3pm on a Saturday. So I???ve had a rethink.

 

I started thinking about my favourite times supporting Bolton Wanderers. Clearly the promotion seasons to the Premiership were great times, particularly the 100 goals season but my all-time favourite times were the early 90???s when the team had passion, flair and 100% commitment from the fans. Ok, we were in the lower divisions but every game seemed like a cup final. McGinlay, Walker, Kelly, Lee, Darby, Philliskirk, Reeves, Phillips were all heroes and how we loved to support them. I remember going to Swansea on a sunny Saturday afternoon once with 2000 other Bolton fans ??? we don???t take 2000 anywhere these days!!

 

So how do we re-create that buzz around the club? I sat up all night thinking of a way to save our club but I simply could not come up with anything. Granted, the way Allardyce is managing we will soon be back in the lower divisions anyway, but ticket prices will still be ridiculously high and The Reebok will still have the atmosphere of a funeral.

 

And then, at 6.30am it suddenly hit me! There is a way to bring back the glory days of the 90???s. There is a way to see some passion on the pitch, to stand together and sing our favourite football songs and to pay only a few quid for the privilege. And it???s so simple, I can???t believe we didn???t think of it before!

 

Why don???t we just shift our support to another club. BWFC don???t care about us, it has simply become a business to them. A football club used to be part of the community, now it just highlights everything that is bad about our greedy society. So instead of giving BWFC another ??500 this Summer lets pick a team to support and give our money to them.

 

There are plenty of clubs we can choose from ??? Oldham, Stockport, Bury, Rochdale, Southport or even Leigh RMI. They would all love another few thousand supporters and we would be treated like kings. But perhaps the most suitable club for our allegiance is Blackpool. Currently struggling at the wrong end of League One they are in an almost identical position to Bolton when Bruce Rioch took over. If their average gate suddenly rose from 4,000 to 14,000 imagine what the atmosphere would be like at Bloomfield Road on matchday. 14,000 happy people crammed into a small, old fashioned ground. It would be like being back at Burnden Park. Imagine another Friday night out at Hull, or filling the home & away ends at Mansfield, or another giantkilling cup run. The potential is endless.

 

But we have to do this together. There???s no point just a few of us supporting Blackpool, we have to do it in our thousands. It may seem a bit extreme but it makes perfect sense if you really think about it. If the majority of you are in favour I???ll contact Blackpool FC and see if I can get a group discount on season tickets.

 

I???m so excited, I hope you are to!

 

I appreciate that this is most likely a wind up, but this is a joke.

If we did that for 4 copnscutive years, we would be out of the league, and then would go bankrupt, and the club would no longer exist - great plan 8-[

As it happens, I was sent a link by a mate of mine that used to post on 606. Pathetic.
