Just been readinga few quotes and posts on here,I was so down a few months ago, thinking we were down. Honestly couldnt see a way out.
Anyway keeping it brief, we were fucked under king (lets not start this debate again) but with him he had done all he could with the club.
In came Iffy (again dividing the club) but on that night in Doncaster us fans got behind the club and you could see that it was anew chapter in STFC
The last few games we as fans have really got behind the team. Iffy has brought more respect to the club, Devlin is trying to sort out the council and at last I can see the light at teh end of the tunnel.
Lets just get behind the club for the last 20 odd games of the season bith home and away and lets stay up.....
Enjoy the ride boys........

i agree with that ash. Just need you to say that with some sort of opera music or something to make it as motivational as possible. Nicely said

you're spot on there ash, i'll drink to that.
how many fans of other clubs would be so supportive despite the fact their team is rock bottom? how many fans of other clubs would have travelled to somewhere like donny on a tuesday night and got right behind the new manager?
alright, i'm sure lots of people say the same about their own fans but i think we've got some of the best around. our support this season has been tremendous and i'm sure the players and management appreciate it hugely. nice to see iffy mention us in his post-match interview last night.
off the pitch things are picking up, devlin's back and there seems to be a more positive feel around the club. as you say, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and for once it's not the light of an oncoming train.
can't wait until saturday. football's taken over my life this season.

i wish i could go away, but no money don't help. i have £40 though at the moment.  thinking of going to gillingham, if i can convince someone to come. it has been fun supporting us this season, better than mid table boredom aslong as we don't go down! |

I cant actually remember us ever actually singing Kings name but with Iffy that is totally different. I come to games thinking we may get a result and not actually dreaeding it.

I cant actually remember us ever actually singing Kings name but with Iffy that is totally different. I come to games thinking we may get a result and not actually dreaeding it. So were you dreading it when we pushing for promotion back in 2004? It was only last year. Loads of people sang King's name. Remember games like Hartlepool May 2004? Andy King's Barmy Army. EIEIEIO ....Andy is our King etc.... Did I imagine that. For fucks sake talk sense. The way you're talking you'd think we were bottom then and in the playoff positions now. :nuts: :shake: If you were dreading the games then you must be crazy, I was fucking loving it, easily the most enjoyable season since we won the championship. Good times. Short memories. Come on think back to March/April/May last year. Real belief we could get promotion, even a chance of automatic, capacity crowds, Fallons wonder goal, great atmospheres, pretty much everyone behind the team, it was back to the good days. Was it really that bad? I thought it was fucking ace! Maybe I'm thinking of another team, sometimes I think I must be. A relegation fight can be good sometimes as long as you're not miles adrift but it depends how it ends, hopefully this season we can get back out of trouble, it'll be tough but it should have some interesting moments. Give me a chance of promotion rather than a relegation fight anytime though. I thought 2003/2004 was a much much better season than 1998/99 or 1997/98 even though we were in a lower division. I'm all for staying positive but come on, don't try and rewrite history. |

im sure we would all like promotion bwb.
playoff season was quality though, that brighton game was ace, but it is completely different nw.
Iffy in charge, complete new and YOUNG team, i think if we build on this we could get better season by season.

You probably did imagine it BWB. King very rarely got his name sung even when were up in 4th
IEIEIEIO use to die out when it got to the andy is our king line in the Nationwide, always a few people would mumble that was it.
I remember Andy Kings Barmy Army being sung once in the Nationwide ever. I agree it was a good season, but some fans just never warmed to King at all ever.
Iffy had more support against Doncaster than King did the whole time he was here!!
We're not divded by the manager, all the true fans are behind him. We can do this....

Completely agree with Ash. Being in Hillingdon, it hasn't been easy to get to many matches, but as I'm back in the sham over the crimbo period, I've got the bug again! I can't wait 'til tomorrow, I'm gonna sing 'til I'm hoarse and welcome in the three points!!  |

BWB, 03-04 is a long time ago.
The season 04-05 was a total waste of time. And a criminal waste of talent. In season 04-05 I saw us get just 4 points on the road and I went to shit loads of games.
We are focused on the job at hand now. And we are comming away from grounds with points. Chesterfield, Oldham, Rotherham, Port Vale, Brentford all games that Kingy would have surrendered. Fuck me, we havnt lost on the road in the league since Franchise October 1st, 3 months ago! (disgrace at Boston aside).
Thats what the hardcore are more positive about.

Yeah when we were in teh play offs it was good, however he took us as far as he could. What spencer said is true, its all about what this season means. Me dex and paddy never really went with a big group prior to this season where as this year weve found people who are good lads, a laugh and teh whole day is fucking ace. I find myself sitting in the office on a monday buzzing about the saturday, never did that even in 2003 - 2004.
