My feelings exactly Ram. How sad it has come to this.

It's called being a glory hunter lads. Love the team when they are doing well, go off them when they are ****e.
No shame in it - it's human nature.

My dear friend you need to re-read my post and absorb it to see how distant you are from the truth!

If i was a glory hunter why did i choose to support a team who had never won a major honour in its history?,when i was 11 the team up the street won their 5th trophy but i was still at Tannadice the next week.

Pretty much exactly how I feel at the moment.
Seen some really awful United teams in the past but always felt good times were around the corner.
All I see around the corner is a slow and painful death of a great club, due to deluded managers, plastic players and a greedy bald snake.
When the real Dundee United returns so will I but for now they are the definition of insanity for me.

If we were playing attacking football and going for it but struggling for results folk would come back. but we are gash and have been for 16 months.
Anyone know if NKoyi was injured?

I totally agree.

Glory hunter is a relative term in Scottish football.
To me, stopping attendance when the going gets tough after a relatively successful recent history is the absolute epitome of it.
Lot of people get offended by the term but it's basic consumer rights and human nature.
If you think our recent cup successes haven't added to our support (over 20k there etc) and that these new fans used to the good times are starting to lose interest now you're deluded.

I still think you are not getting it. However, everyone to their own opinions. You're either pissing against the wind, or a live fish, i.e. one which can swim against the current. I have to admit the past three years have left me all but dead to Dundee United and am getting swept away by the current!

Im offended by that term in this case!
Wasnt alot of money around my family when we started going to see United and i think one of the first games was the cup final relay v Rangers, so hardly the basis of a glory hunting 36 years! Add in one League win, all those European nights and all those Hampden finals after that, still isnt enough to be a basis for glory hunting! Because in the league, there was still teams that were more successful who the glory hunters follow!
To me, it isnt the glory i am looking for, its to see my home team doing the best with what players and revenue it can muster, being led by someone i can believe in, and who is delivering for the fans.
So when i dont see my team delivering for the fans like we are and have been for a long time now, i reserve the right to vote with my feet and choose something else to spend my money on! Please dont insult my intelligence for doing so!
