The Albion.

[albion68]

I have been a lifelong fan of this club and even went before I was born. But I no longer get excited on a matchday like I used to. I don't even get upset when we lose, well not as much as I did when I was younger. I used to be fanatical about the club but not now. Is anyone else the same? Is it an age thing?
If you go on some of the Albion FB sites and criticise the club you are likely to be met with a torrent of abuse from mainly young fans. I don't mind that, it shows they care and I remember arguing with old Albion fan's when I was in my twenties when they criticised the team we had then.
They, like me now had stopped going and talked about the 1950's side.
It's not just the Albion, I worked with old Wolves fans who had stopped going.
Football is usually a generation thing, fathers take sons. I am third generation, my son is fourth generation.
So if the club is passed down from grandfather, to son and grandson then the crowds at games should be enormous. But that doesn't happen, at some stage or age fan's become comfortable at home and no longer go.
Why does this happen so regularly?
Is it like pop music when most people have an era they believe was the best?

Anyway I will watch around the pub tonight. I still love the club but not as much to go out in this weather.

when I was a kid in the 50s/60s,the only thing me and my mates thought about and played was footy.cricket maybe some times . But only thing on our minds was football.todays kids are a different animal. x box’s gaming host of other things they play with .and new games to play they tell me they play basketball even American football ugh so the baggies and other clubs suffer at the gates.
