From reading comments on here many fans have already reached the point where they can't be bothered to attend away games or even home games as well and many fans who have always attended have lost interest will provide a very worrying for the future of the club.
The Southend away game was the first I missed this season due to other commitments and today was the first game missed by choice.

I am sat now thinking should I bother on Tuesday to Coventry.
No goals in the last 5 games, 6 defeats on the trot and and no passion or performance to get excited about.
Not a lot there to convince me to go.
Then I thought about the alternative, spending more time with the wife!

See you Tuesday!!

:rolleyes:Realistically can't see anything happening this season that will motivate me to any more games.Set out at first just to boycott home games but so far have only been to the game at the Shrews.

Good man. Anyone reading this board as a neutral would think we'd never had a relegation fight before. Problem is it's a vicious circle, people stop coming, revenue goes down crowd gets quieter players feel the bad atmosphere and things go from bad to worse.
The ideal solution would be for the fans to still up in numbers and sing their hearts out for 90 minutes encouraging the players on and I think I need to wake up now.

Just smile and clap and don't complain

Classic Trev

The Ricoh would be a new ground for me, but (thankfully?) I'll be chilling in a bar somewhere in Reykjavik instead. If we start getting tanked I can just switch the phone off and be done with it. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised with a win.

Go to the Micro Bar.....great place

Relegation fight I can live with... heaven knows we've had plenty of them over the past forty plus years.....
But i cannot tolerate the levels of arrogance and contempt this board have for the fans, inspite of all abject failings. There have been so many opportunities to apologise, particularly for the endless farces over the summer, but no.
Now the accounts. Crowds doubled, corporate facilities and own concourse catering surpassing expectations, 2 promotions, Wembley.. sale of players on a scale unprecedented by our standards. And the slightest of profits. You can make your own mind up... either we cannot cope with the financial economics of the modern game, or the business model is a complete and utter disaster.

But hey, its been said better and by many before. But nothings going to change to make things better, I think its obvious to everyone things are going to get worse. Doesn't help either when the chairman called the accounts positive, yet the CEO and AC call them disappointing and worrying... why can't they sing from the same hymn sheet?

Worrying times, and my motivation has gone.

And the truly saddest part of all this for me? Im not missing it half as much as I thought I would.

You're wasting your breath with Trev. There's no bigger picture with him it seems.

He is happy, nay delighted, to take the board's girth and be thankful for it.

Nice chap I'm sure but if we're left with one person clapping along to a home defeat by Graham Street Prims on Highfield Park he will be that one.
