This whole business of paying for the fans’ tickets if we play badly entirely misses the point of following our team.... through thick and thin.

We then had to stand through 90+ minutes of the most dire football from both sides before trudging back to the car.
I wouldn’t expect to pay extra for a 4-1 win at Sincil Bank - or for the roller coaster ride of a 7-4 at Barnet - and wouldn’t expect a refund when it all goes tits up. I would far rather see better performances off the back of such a humiliating defeat, plus greater responsibility and better team selection from the manager.
Rant over, and thanks to out0lunch for the link.
