Thread: I have figured it out

  1. #1

    I have figured it out

    In my years of watching the Millers, something over the last 2 or 3 years has felt different.

    I have seen many ups and downs in a lifetime watching the Millers from the dross of the Kerr era, to the Porterfield's sublime championship winning team .

    I have felt both elation and frustration but I have a feeling about the club now which is unique:


    I AM BORED .

    You're now detatched from the team, club and the feel good factor.

    I too am bored with it.

    I’m getting a bit bored of football in general.

    I can appreciate why a lot of fans would be bored. We spent a lot of years punching above our weight, often being higher up than the size of the fanbase would suggest we should be. The late 70s, early 80s we were second tier, and for the better part of 25 years more recently we've either been bouncing around the second and third tiers, or fighting to exit at all. We have now seemingly hit a patch where the club is stable, we've pretty much now realised that Championship football is somewhere between a faraway land and a nightmare we reluctantly suffer if we ever go back, and (with absolutely no disrespect at all) a fanbase which appears to be older and quieter than any I remember from the days at Millmoor and numerous away days/weekends. We did the vibrant, noisy, disruptive thing well - and it was fun. Now we're a financially 'sustainable', resigned-to-our-limits, squad full of journeymen and loanees, all-seater club in a joyless bowl, a lot of the spark has gone. I don't think it's unique to the Millers though.
