Really don't get people who say this.

How can you just ditch the club you love and have supported all your life just because you don't like the manager Huh?

I will not be ditching the Town. I have supported the club since the 1970s when, at the age of 11, I was taken to my first game at the CG. I could never imagine supporting anybody else. What I can not do is put money into the pocket of a self-professed fascist by purchasing my season ticket or buying any club merchandise.

I know my protest is very small and futile, and most people think I'm being a "do-gooder" or a raving leftie, but I have to stick to what I beleive. I will not be attending any home matches while Di Canio is manager. I will, however, attend as many away games as possible in order to support my team without paying anything into the town's coffers.

That's fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion. Don't see how you'll be lining Di Canio's pockets though. The club yes but not him personally.

I think you'll miss some good football too which is a shame.

Dorset red, glad to hear you will be still supporting the town. Maybe in time your views on Pdc will soften as it sounds like he really wants to make the connection with us fans. If we are to go straight back up we will need every bit of support we can get.

I'm glad you found a way to square watching Town with yourself.

i dont get your stance here. a break from stfc because of your views on di canio i understand,but going to away games defeats the object imo.
happy to put money into rival clubs but not your own?

I think most regular supporters get to a point at some time when STFC is no longer the be all and end all of their life, priorities change and other things take over.  My point was probably when I had my first son and stopped going regularly for a few years.  I still cared, but it wasn't as important as it had been and if we had a bad result, it didn't bother me for more than 15 minutes or so.  It's amazing how quickly the passion came flooding back though when I started going full-time again though,  although I've managed to keep my mood after a bad result in check better than I used to.  A bit longer than 15 minutes now, probably a few hours, but not a few days like it used to be!  I put some of that down to my 7 year attending with me, he's learnt from a young age how to put a dire performance/result into perspective!


Likewise JTR.  When my kids were young, I barely went and perspective on the Town and life kicked in.  When my lad turned 4 I started taking him to occasional games and we're now into our third year as season ticket holders.  I absolutely love it (Keegan) again, but the perspective is still there, unlike the teens to mid twenties period (up until McMahon broke my spirit) when my general mood hinged on how the Town were performing.

I think that the PDC period will ultimately be a brief, but far from dull period in our history and I'm looking forward to it.  It's likely to be one hell of a ride, so strap yourselves in.

I wonder if Di Canio would have stood for us wearing fucking white at fucking Wembley? I suspect not. Random I know. It just occurred to me though and felt the need share.
