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?
Never mind where he is now Robin I'd be more interested to now where he was in the 80s and how he knows what the feelings of any Rovers fans of that era were as he was running round in short pants and a Liverpool shirt back then >:)Quote:

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.

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

saxo, your o/p says "80s pre Jack Walker" don't know who you were watching but Wilcox and Atkins didn't play in that era as any Rovers fan worth there salt would know :P
Atkins joined in 88.. Wilcox debuted in 89.. I never said early 80s did I?
