Yeah, I know we still exist and for that we are eternally grateful.

But football is an entertainment business. What a  complete nothingness of a season - no excitement, no passion, no hope, no progress on the pitch, no nothing. What a waste of a year.

Yeah because we haven't covered that in hundreds of other threads.

Where as, as Town fans we usually get excitement, passion, hope, progress and entertaining football.

We're shit and have been for years. Why all of a sudden has this season become the worst season we've ever had.

This isnt even our worst season in the last 5 years for fuck sake.

I wonder what sort of level a season has to reach to be considered not a waste. And what percentage of our seasons in the past would have been considered a waste.

Not saying this season has been great, but it's an interesting exercise for a saturday afternoon.

get a hobby instead.

Just listen on the Radio.

Ed Hadwin makes it sound as though we are playing like Brazil every match anyway.

That is confusing being shit with having a shit season.

Besides, 28 points by this time in 2005-06. 24 points this time. So far it is our worst season in 5 seasons.

23 points this time in 2000-2001.

18 points in 1999-2000.

I take it you didnt listen to our game at Huddersfield BK? He must have said the word 'shambles' about 60 times in the second half. Him and the summariser were both saying they wanted to go home at 20 past 4.

we havent been relegated this season, so it cant possibly at this stage be worse than 05/06.

Because we werent relegated until april in 2005-06?

 In fact we're on exactly the same points from the same number of games as in 05/06, just a bit further up the league....the shitness of other teams, is our best hope for this season.

Yes but ultimately the season ended in relegation to the bottom division making it the worst season in 20 odd years. Infact we were relegated way before April, August I'd say...

The only way this season will be worse than that one, is if we get relegated again. Which we wont.

I stand corrected, Obviously we wont be relegated.

This season we were relegated in december (if you were allowed a cheeky edit then so am I). 

You're supposed to be getting more miserable...this is a positively positive :badmood:

we still have a relegation fight on our hands .. so there will be entertainment of some kind there im sure

So what if its been in lots of other threads....Wokingham is right this season has been shite...he was being polite Tails.

it was probably raising the point that i don't think there's much more that can be said about it

if we go down i'd say it will be worse than when iffy was here.

Shut up then.

Do you not think the fans having a negative attitude effects the players?

yes.

fans being negative effects the team
the team being shit effects the fans

chicken & egg

which comes first?

do we try and be positive and hope the players peform
or is up to the players to perform then we'll support them

the egg.

Good question that...most fans dont get negative before shit performances though...a few do.

haha dont they?

No.

in my experience a large proportion of our fans turn up just so they can moan

In my experience theres always a few moaners at every match DAVE...the vast majority back and support the team....but you cant expect the majority to stay that way when your watching rubbish match after match and in fact season after season.

you get both dont you.

you get fans that dont turn untill the performances are shit, you get fans that just moan from the off

you get players that dont hide untill the fans turn and you get players that always hide

Thing is for me DV against Brighton our fans were superb...although we were sat in freezing temps watching absolute shite they never got on the players backs...granted it was DW first game and we are all a little more optimistic but my point is if the fans have abit of hope to hang onto then they will respond...in the main our fans are top notch IMO considering what weve had served up for us.

I have the misfortune to sit by a right diamond geezer!!  Last match he started before he even sat down, stating that we had all arrived for another boring and poor match.  Before he arrived the people around me were quite happy, he certainly changes the mood as soon as he arrives - telling everybody within shouting distance just how poor each individual is as they touch the ball.  I really don't know why he bothers, but he has a very negative effect on a certain section of the DRS I can assure you.

when i sat in the drs.i was next to two old boys.one was talkative and alright.the other moaned like fuck,never smiled or made conversation other than to moan about anything.he never clapped,stood up when we scored,or praised anything ever in my few seasons in the same seat.just sat arms folded,week after week.after the brighton play off game at home he said "we'd only go down anyway" after they scored.the cunt still goes and sits there all miserable.

I sat near Fred for the yeovil game. He told me off for clapping.

or maybe he told you off for getting the clap?

I see a season ticket holder in the DRS. Every game without fail he looks at his season ticket to see where his seat is, then sits most of the game reading the paper. Its priceless. One game we scored and he carried on reading Mystic Meg!

At least he still turns up.
Does he sit anywhere near me by any chance?

No mate other end. Around P46 or somewhere like that

i just checked to see if that was my season ticket, i'm glad it's not me

haha nice set up :(

nah not you bud, however im sure you would know who i was on about if you saw him. has a funky 70's hair cut and dodgy glasses

ohhhhh, and fat? yeah that's leggett

fucking chortle, you hook-nosed cunt :D

nah, not ginger!

hahaha tans hates you more than i do leggett!

I may be fat mr b but you look jewish, we all know how much you love them... :P

Sahar springs to mind.

The israeli cunt..

Nearly exactly what Danny Wilson said.

I've a mate who's been going nearly as long as me, who often spends large chunks of the game reading...he accepts the fact we're a bit shit and the football is deadly dull, but as a fan he feels the need to be there....but he doesn't have to watch.
