So i guess this is what it all boils down to: at one end of the Spireite spectrum we have those who'll never, ever utter one word of criticism, embrace everything they're told by those running the Club as gospel and simply smile, shrug their shoulders and mutter 'Oh well, never mind' as we lose ten-nil to Bog Standard Borough, whilst at the other there're those who'll complain that ticket prices for our Champions League Final victory over Barcelona were too expensive and berate Dave Allen for not laying on chauffeur driven limousine away travel with free champagne.

Okay, fair enough.

But can we please, please accept that the overwhelming majority of genuine, loyal, 'true' Chesterfield supporters who fall somewhere in between, folk who'll applaud the positives whilst also articulating negatives, are reasonably intelligent individuals expressing perfectly legitimate views.

Then maybe we can put this 'moaner-groaner v happy-clappy' nonsense to bed once and for all.

Well said someone talking sense at last.

There are the happy clappers and the moaners and in a roundabout way they complement each other. Both look at things too deeply. The clappers can not see anything wrong and never criticise the moaners have the ability to see everything that is wrong and do criticise. IMO this board needs both or it would be mind numbingly boring. What both camps have in common though is that they are all fans and supporters even the moaners. The only difference is the clappers always accuse the moaners of not being fans which cannot be further from the truth

An excellent post.
