If true then then football certainly dead...

[Dubbag]

Traditionally I have always structured my days off from work to when The Albion are playing......but that started changing last season...to the point that I would check on the results after games, instead of during them.... I accept like all things in life we evolve and change...and other things become our most important things. I am not helped my the 40 points mentality thing that we have adapted over the last few years. I am still not convinced that players haven't gone of the boil in their own heads....That is mainly down to managing expectations.... However the obscene amounts of money been spent on individuals is quite shocking really.

Regarding supporters....I remember some years ago there was a huge drop of in fans attending games in Italy. No matter how exciting or important the game was....seeing a half empty stadium just made for a terribly atmosphere and watching spectacle on TV. Worse you could hear the players and officials cursing very easily and many people started complaining. One channel even tried using sound effects of a full ground when clearly it was not.....
In the end the TV companies had to pull a lot of the live games and many over seas companies never renewed contracts to screen live games. It actually cause a major rethink.
I can see it escalating over in England.....it is like a housing bubble!!!
A crash is on the way......

PS for 68. Has even Simon Wright given up on the Baggies?

Hello 165.

I wouldn't say he's given up on us as such, but he has grown largely disillusioned with the modern game. This disillusionment pre dates the appointment of TP by the way .

SW attended Hereford Utd games even while still regularly attending Albion games. It's just that the ratio of attendance is far more heavily weighted towards the Bulls these days. When he attended their game against the 'Mikes' he was very definitely wearing Hereford Utd colours though. Further, I've no idea the last time he attended an Albion game at the Shrine.

Won't pretend I know him well and in no way do I mean to presume his motivations, and although we speak very occasionally I certainly don't speak for him. As a side note Glynis Wright was still attending our games last season.

Ed: before Holmleigh Chris passes comment, clearly not at the same time .

Effing right though. Are you a Dingle or what?

Yeah I'm a Dingle.

Moron!

Go back to your own board then, moron.
We've got enough problems trying to raise enthusiasm without Dingles - or our own fans - trying to muddy the waters.

He had an Albion season ticket last season but as you say probably attended more Hereford games. The man is a glory seeker.
