    My struggle as a rovers fan..

    Unless you are constantly negative and continually criticising Lowe and Hanley, you are considered a WUM by fellow fans. As any kind of positivity as all seems to be frowned upon.. Sorry, I won't do it. I'm not returning to games with that air of negativity about..

    It's like the bad old days of 80s again pre Jack walker..

    Fishing saxo?
    I think you are overlooking the fact that venkys have pushed this club to the brink with their rank stupidity earlier on in their reign
    That might have some bearing on the negativity
    transfer embargo causing us to sign French lower league players(could be good jury's out)and sell our more talented players might have some bearing on the negativity.
    Lowe and Hanley?????I think they are quite a distance down
    anyway you are over in France how many games did you plan to attend?

    I know what it was like in the past from reading the comments of players like Wilcox and Atkins, saying fans got on their back every game and the atmosphere was terrible. Seems to me the moaners are becoming the majority again amonst our reduced following

    Anyone that thinks that the majority of the support should in any way be happy or satisfied with our present predicament needs to take a step back and review the proceedings over the more recent past.
    The fact that this club has been r***d and pillaged by the vultures of the modern game is a glaring fact.
    Given that this occurred almost immediately on the back of what has been our most successful period (certainly in my time), makes it all the more difficult to accept.
    Therefore the supporter had a choice; to stay on and hope for the best, or cease attendance and make that their own personal stance against the 'goings on'.
    For me both are quite valid.
    In this situation it is inevitable that the remaining support are and will have some level of frustration, and therefore it will be aired frequently.
    Are we really the worst football support in the land? I have no idea, but I do view with suspicion over any generalised 'sweeping statements'. And just ponder; lets say this had happened a
