Great scot Holmes, I think you've cracked it!

If he refuses to respond to challenges about his identity, but bangs on in other posts-repeatedly-about the same issues, I think we've got our man.

You'll never take me alive copper.

OK son. Put the soapbox and the badly-disguised identity down and come quietly.

Well if you dont vote with your feet at least give "Deano" a song to say he isnt wanted.
and like with the Rico era, change the words to "blue and white barmy army"

[Phil V 72]

Huge empty spaces could give a powerful message to the Club, but from the interviews I've read, the message they seem to take are "it's the fans fault for not turning up"

I am a season ticket holder for over 20 years and I have stood and more recently sat and watched some horrible dire football over the years.

I have attended games after having no sleep the day before through work, I have turned up with huge hangovers and the last home game was the first time ever I have almost nodded off. Now I'm not an 80 year old who needs my afternoon nap & I'd not had a skin full of ale the night before. The match was that terrible that I couldn't stay awake.

The results have been poor, but the worst thing is (as has been said by many on here) is that the matches are as dull as dishwater, there is no entertainment whatsoever.

I will be there on saturday, merely because I enjoy the social pre & post match and because I have a season ticket.

However, I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING A TICKET FOR THE FA CUP GAME. The first home game I will have missed in 4 year.

It is the best way to let the club know that we, THE FANS, are not happy.

ive got a better idea for you. why don't you go to the match, but stamp your feet and tell uncle dave that you aren't happy while spitting your dummy out. every football club has its peaks and troughs. The last couple of years were always going to be hard to follow. its times like these when the players need our support the most when confidence is low. I recall that four months in, people were questioning PC's decisions and suggesting that he was out of his depth, but given time it all came good.

Well I'm a season ticket holder and a supporter of my club, which I will continue to support by going to watch them play.
Yes its poor but its been worse, some folk just love to moan!

your right, there has been much worse, but has there ever been such a contrast between seasons?

Last seasons playing style and supporter optimism is unrecognisable from this season.

AND - its self inflicted by financial mismanagement, not by outside pressures such as ITV digital, or crooks raping the club.

That is why there is the current negativity in the fan base.

[Goku]

It's almost like people don't understand that high hopes followed by sh** performances and results don't make people happy.

Good for you, pat on the back, I'm pleased for you, it's your prerogative.
I will stay away and vote with my feet, which is my prerogative.
And as I've said before, I will vote again with my wallet, when it comes to season ticket renewal time if DS is still manager.
Some people have a higher pain threshold than me, that's all I can say.

Well that's about 10 not going. The gate will be well down!

[Valley Blues]

I can fully understand people wanting to stick with the team 'through thick and thin' and all that but I find it unbelievable that upto yet we, collectively, have failed to muster even a slight groan of discontent towards the manager/board on match day. There is nothing, total apathy. I'm not suggesting this is necessarily the right thing to do. It just seems to be the first natural reaction in such circumstances.

Serious question, do you think things will improve under Saunders?

Nowadays nearly every team has a lot lower crowd for the early round cup games than they do for league games, so it won't all be down to the Saunders factor

I won't be going i'm afraid. Well and truly lost interest recently. Might go to Bury as it's only just up the road but i'm off to Courteeners that night so could easily stay in Manchester all day on ale instead.

if I had to watch the courteeners id be on the ale all day to.
