bolty58 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) I believe that everybody who turns up at 3 PM having paid to watch is there to support the team, regardless of feelings for Chairman, Manager or individual players. I dont like the type of football we play, the possession we readily concede but after 52 years of paying a fortune for tickets, travel/transport, shirts etc I'm not going to suddenly desert the team. Just one of my pet hates when Managers, players or even so called fans accuse us of not supporting the team. The best thing at the Reebok has been the vocal support during a season of not very entertaining stuff to watch. I sometimes wish the Manager and some players had put as much effort and enthusiasm into the games as the fans. I would have loved to put on the white shirt, nearest I got was the Hospital Cup for those old enough to remember. See, that's where I have a problem. Those who show their displeasure by constant criticism and moaning from the stands during games are contributing to what they, allegedly, don't want to see. If you don't believe me - take a look at Stoke and their home record. Of the 32 points they have won, only 4 have been won away from home. Solid, unwavering support has been a major factor in the 28 points they have amassed at home. Any chance the negative bast?rds we have in the crowd might be able to grasp this concept?

Guest bwfc devon Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 As in business rally round the troops with positives, then you will see the difference. Positive attitude always gets results.

Off point i s'pose but i'm getting a bit sick of the wankfest over how great Stoke fans are. 15 months ago they wanted Pulis out. They were unable to get above about 12 thou a game until half way through last season. They have a whiff of staying up and< not unnaturally, they are getting behind their team but didn't we do the same last season when every tw@t was writing us off? I work in Stoke- a big %age of their so-called great fans are JCL's who will disappear like snow in June when they take their place back in the Championship. Prediction- they don't win another home game this season. When the chips are down and their Prem survival depends on it teams will go to the Brit and compete for those headers they would avoid earlier in the season. Oh and i've been a couple of times this season including our game there. The atmosphere aint that great

This is the bit I was after. Hoping that ours will do the same.

Agree- but some of whats required needs to come from the pitch as well. The biggest contrast between Stoke and us isn't the fans its the attitude of the players. They (as limited a bunch as you're ever likely to see in the Prem)are working their cocks off to stay in the division. Our lot seem to be sleepwalking half the time
Carlos Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 It seems to me they come to life when they got a throw in anywhere near the oppo's box and only sing Delilah. Great

Alf Hartigan Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 i would agree that the atmosphere at Stoke wasn't great. you get a distorted view as an away fan though,always thinking you're louder than the home fans.
superjohnmcginlay Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Shut up and eat a pastie! Come back of 2009
Guest bwfc devon Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Shut up and eat a pastie! Get to bed smart arse your up early tomorrow.
bolty58 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 That time of year when the Earth moves on its axis again, the vegies start to sprout and every fcuker gets stroppy. Brussel sprout is throwing a wobbler and now the resident cabbage

Could because they have narrowed the pitch down to the smallest allowed dimensions or something
Traf Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Could because they have narrowed the pitch down to the smallest allowed dimensions or something That has undoubtedly helped.
magic legs Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 The only thing that worries me about the Boro game is that it follows another weekend off for us, and they don't seem to be doing us any favours this season.
Guest Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 This is a game we really don't want to lose. Boro will see it as a game they can win and get momentum going, similar to our late run last year. If we draw (or win) that's another game gone.
YATESY Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 This is a game we really don't want to lose. Boro will see it as a game they can win and get momentum going, similar to our late run last year. If we draw (or win) that's another game gone. Exactly. Its about getting over the finishing line, if that is done with 6 draws then so be it.
MOOSE36 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 If we can't beat that load of shite at home there's something wrong SPOT ON, END OF THREAD
Traf Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 You'd expect us to beat them. Mind you, I've said that in each of our last 4 seasons. 3 x 0-0 draws and a 1-1 draw in that time. The 1-1 draw ultimately cost us a place in Europe too.
Big E Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I dont like the type of football we play, the possession we readily concede but after 52 years of paying a fortune for tickets, travel/transport, shirts etc I'm not going to suddenly desert the team. I haven't noticed a change in the way we play. in fact we play more "football" under megson.
764104443 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I haven't noticed a change in the way we play. in fact we play more "football" under megson. I hope we attack and dont go out defensive
tyldesley_white Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I haven't noticed a change in the way we play. in fact we play more "football" under megson. We played even more under Sammy Lee and look what happend there, we also played some wonderful football under Colin Todd cant remember what happend there maybe some of the ones that moan about how we play now could enlighten me
The True Marple White Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Just checked the fixture list and it states this is on Sunday, is this correct?
