I know what you mean Fishing Rod, but I'm not sure I entirely agree. Yesterday I left home at 6.15 got back at just before 11.00, drove a round trip of about fifty miles and contributed £25 to the Derby County coffers. One of the group I went with left work at 4.15 and after a round trip of a little under 200 miles got home about 11.30. What we saw and paid money to watch was utter rubbish and left me feeling totally demoralised with football and Derby County. In the last ten days, during which time some players will have 'earned' around £50k, many fans will have spent £75 or so on watching complete tripe. I don't like the idea of 'abandoning' the team but I do understand those who left early in such great numbers either out of 'protest' or frustration. Ultimately the players have to earn our support and last night about four of them looked interested.
