I can understand the frustration of various people with their club as it seems more obvious than ever that there is a disconnect between clubs and their fan base. I need look no further than Vincent Tan to find an example of an owner treating a clubs fans as a hindrance or a necessary evil rather than the heart of a club and community. The fans who pay huge amounts of money to support their team get no representation within a club and quite often even get lied to or simply refused information about the goings on within the halls of power. Extreme and contrasting emotions have always been part of the game...for every club that escapes relegation there is another who falls into it...for every 6-0 thrashing there is a crushing 0-6 defeat..but many owners and boards these days seem to forget or choose to ignore that fans make a club greater than 11 guys in a stadium, they create atmosphere, add history and enrich the community. When that is combined with a skewered financial system that hands extra rewards to clubs THAT ARE ALREADY DOMINATING and you have a bleak landscape that some fans understandably grow tired of watching.
Ill never get tired of watching football im just tired of the way it's gone when half the world is starving or in deep poverty. I refuse to pay to watch football at any stadium from this season as my morals and principals wont allow me too. Its not right and i refuse to enable it by giving good money to something that is just a game at the end of the day and not important while there is so much poverty in the world. The fastest growing business in the UK is food banks and that is not right in 2014....
Whilst my morals and principles can allow me to do various minor selfish things, when I know a significant part of the World population is suffering, I too refuse to aid such a superficial pastime, despite being a fan. I realise that's quite a paradox. But, sadly I can do nothing else but agree with the above post.
