    For me most of the booing is coming from the North east corner. Now I might be wrong but I would say a lot of our hard core fans sit there. This in my opinion has absolutely nothing to do with how long you have supported the Swans, whether you go away from home or whether you are a plastic or young or old. It is just many many disgruntled supporters who are fed up with the **** they are being served up on the pitch. whether that is right or wrong is up to the individual and no one else.

    [QUOTE="Nosugarman1, post: 9057622, member: 1031051"]I don't agree with or would never boo my team however badly they perform. On the subject of away fans not booing that is correct because we have had 10 years of unprecedented success but if you went back further than that you would have heard booing at times from our away fans.[/QUOTE]

    Well i would if it is warranted, Sometimes you need to show your disgust at the way the players are under performing. The players and the manager who are not trying their best need to be told and no fan should accept the team thinking its ok that they are not performing the best they can.......100% effort is expected by every player and the manager and if they are not delivering then boo the over paid buggers......fans pay good money and want to see the team at least trying...

    So if it's getting late in the season and were in the middle of a relegation battle , with a new manager being installed after a previous manager was justafiibly axed , and he's trying to find his way , as the players are with him, and we've had a bad half ....the best thing to do is boo to put more pressure ,to show personal distain on the team rather than trying to help by cheering them forward .....if your the away team who needs away fans .... Bad combo , home fans booing , away fans singing ...one can only imagine how inspired any player would be

    Strange how sounds travel and i don't doubt what you hear , but I'm in the east just before the corner and to me the booing seems to come from the centre of the East .I agree totally regarding home /away fans and how you describe how you believe why we have sections booing.

    Spot on TLF. If we go down the away support will halve. If we go down again it'll halve again. When I've been to Barnet, Brentford and places like that we had 150. <laugh>

    "And if we go down , the away fans will still be away fans " I wasn't t saying we would keep ALL our away fans , just that they will be committed " None booers " no matter the amount that travel to games . If we go down , home and away fans will decrease with almost all the booers disappearing with the ones that give up season tickets
    When the team were in danger of dropping out of the leagues and playing Hull was there a lot of booing at the time ?

    Curtis favours our more traditional offensive possession based 4-2-3-1 formation, (So do I), and switched to that formation with great success against Arsenal, we started with the Monk/Franco diamond defensive formation, that clearly wasn't working against Arsenal, and to be honest only works against physical in your face teams that tend to park the bus. Curtis enhanced the tactical change with the right call on subs as well, and has given us much needed points on the board. The Norwich game was not pretty, and the Villa game was poor, and reflected our overall season, in which we have well underperformed, and I can understand why some sections of fans booed our players, not something I have ever done, but our players deserved it in my view, hope we get a good clear out this summer............<ok>

    I'm in the south stand and it definitely appeared like the booing came from the East. I'd find it unlikely that it came from the north east.
