Ive lost interest,I now consider my self a casual fan that goes when he can be arsed.Once you get over the guilt of missing a home match for no real reason it then turns to two and before you know it you've not been for a few months.Its really quite liberating.
Yeovil yesterday you wanted to become a Citeh fan!  Actually, i also heard 606 on sunday and the plans that City have for a new hotel complex and factory for manufacturing merchandise.They've offered 400 million for Eastlands and the area to Manchester council. Did you also hear on 606,Steve from Swindon who's a Palace fan? Swindon accent yet he supports Palarse? What the feck is that about? At least he isn't a Premiershit fan. |

Just the same as Wiltshire folk support all the other clubs other than Swindon. It's because they don't want to.

It's amazing that Teams who are really shit have any supporters.
It could be worse, you could have been a Rochdale fan for the last twenty years.

I like doing that other stuff, too, every now and again. I don't go to every town game so it's nice when I do. I was talking more to those who were saying they wouldn't come back at all.
As for DW and Fitton trying to sell the club... how do they go about doing that? You can't polish a turd; we've been shit for ages and financially unstable for ages, just because they say it's better might not be enough for some people - I'm sure that's what previous boards and managers have said! It's how it must have felt trying to get Kaka, or Kar-kar s some now call him, to go to City!
One thing I'm confident of, Wilson will be more of a draw than Malpas.

To all those people who dont go now because the "football is shit" or "they're not being entertained" tell me how to obtain that mindset,'cause I 've never supported Town for the great scintillating football or to enjoy myself and if I did,I could save myself a shit-load of money?

Quite, but it's what they'll hide behind isn't it. |

I'm like you in that respect adje. Sometimes you go knowing it'll be shit, but not being able to stop yourself. I think it's a mental illness. |

Steve the Palace fan with the Swindon accent,gave an embarassed laugh when he said he was from Swindon, yet supports Palace.He also winged about spending 60 quid on travel and ticket to go to Selhurst Park. |

I'll renew with my daughter. I'm not enjoying my football any more but if its a choice between getting away from the Mrs for a coupel of hours or having her nag me for a couple of hours then its a non brainer.
A divorce is more expensive than a season ticket so financially it makes sense.

"It doesn't happen overnight. Confidence that has been eroded in 18 months can't be repaired in a week or two. We have got to slowly work at it and try to get a few results."
That's Nigel Clough talking about Derby, but it's true of our team and Danny Wilson as well. And if you look at the club as a whole, you could argue that confidence that has been eroded in 13 years can't be repaired in 12 months either.

I certainly hope so and believe that he will be,but the Anyinsah bid was worrying.Here was a player Wilson knew as a youngster at Bristol City,has family in Bristol, but still we couldn't get.It was probably wages and i know he was on loan at Carlisle last season,so he knew the club.It's really a vision of the club that they need to sell,but i suppose it'll be wages at the end of the day at this level  Let's hope for a big clearout in the summer,a new start and that we're still in League 1. |

the key is staying in league one, then we can consign this season to the history books. It's been one to forget so far, shame as I'd bought my first season ticket in ages, and judging by comments on here, many won't be renewing like me?!

Most posters on this thread have tried to be constructive and have shown how football still matters deep down inside.Hope and optimism in this day and age are at a low ebb,maybe just maybe,STFC can reinvigorate us once again.I really hope so  |
