Why do you keep going?

Agree. The football is dire, our league position embarrassing, the ground is falling down around us and my experience of forming a link with the club a few years ago a disaster (sadly, Chester, TNS and Shrewsbury were all for more contactable and amenable to working with us ). Most of my mates have buggered off and the food and drink on offer are below standard. I've never even got close to a trip to the ten pin bowling on the 50-50 tickets I buy each match.
However, it will not improve if I boo all game, throw my season ticket in the bin or shout "sack the board" till I choke. Good times when you support a small club like likes are like diamonds in shit. We are deep in that substance and changes need to be made, that's for sure but I am a fan not a know-it-all or a glory hunter so I will do my bit, pay my dues and cheer the lads on as I have been doing for forty-odd years now.

Maybe if supporters voted with their feet, something would HAVE to change. (Big sigh.......). These are sad times.

you answered your question with your own post


those of us that goto gaes go because we love our club and will continue to go.. win lose or draw.

i feel sorry for the so called fans who only go when we are winning or having success..... being a football fan is about the club and the team... the fans... and being in it together.

I love the club but it's got to the stage where I think is it worth the £20 to go and watch the dirge served up now or use the £20 to do something fun with the kids.
It's now all about priorities where money is concerned, and sadly the club misses out at the moment. If I could justify the expense of going I would, but as it stands it's a pretty lame argument.
I still listen when I can on mixlr though.

Take your point but £20 is £20 regardless of whether the football produced is good or bad.
