    Moving the south stand is easy, a lot easier than moving the East Stand and the Upper West. You signed your membership agreement and your direct debit. They have the right to alter the amount collected within the terms of the 21 page contract you signed if they move you. If they move you you have to cancel your membership by giving the required notice or lump it.

    You really don't get what being a football supporter is all about as opposed to a spectator.

    Every seat now has a price point, there is no right to anything, just an ability and preparedness to pay. We have yet to see how that works out.

    No wonder the club advised us to seek legal advice.

    Not sure what he's saying nonsense to when the article makes that exact point.

    You're wrong, it's you that doesn't understand.

    Any sportsperson, regardless of discipline, sex, ability, will compete. One of the things, a big thing, that drives them is the expectation and belief of those who support them.

    That doesn't mean ridicule with failure, but it does mean a realistic timespan on being competitive and failing to be so; interest wanes, other, similar things gradually move into contention. Blind support is just that.

    At an amateur level it is like that, at a highly paid professional level it is exactly how it should be - don't change the club, fix the team, replace the players letting the side down.

    Identify them by being a critical supporter, but only if you know what you're talking about, which, clearly, you don't.

    We are on about what supporting your team is about as opposed to spectating. Which you fail to understand.

    I was at a pub at 2am for the game with people I regularly watch the games with, and some newcomers, some clearly over from hull.

    The newcomers started chants before the game started and I thought "Awesome! Keen to sing during the game, I'll go stand over with them". The other regulars stayed sat at the table watching the pre-match.

    During the game it was clear these guys were pretty drunk, and they started hurling abuse at the regulars, one of whom was with his wife, calling them "bandwagon ****s" and not real supporters.

    Why people fixate on how others want to support their team will never be something I understand. And, rather ironically, those "bandwagoners" are people I've watched losses to Charlton, Boro and Bolton, draws to Bristol city and wolves, and a win against Derby with (amongst others) while these blokes hadn't been there before the final.

    I guess I come back to my earlier point about active support areas, which in a way we had at the pub when I decided to stand up and go over to them. Those sitting down didn't tell us to be quiet or sit down, so why should they be abused in return? It goes both ways. Let people support their club in the way they want, without their degree of support not being called into question.

    No, you're wrong again.

    To support your team means to watch it, follow it, encourage it to be the best it can be; it also means being honest and not blowing sunshine up its highly paid arse.

    I have yet to meet a genuine sportsperson who wants an arselicker advising them through shallow, ill-informed support; it's about honesty and integrity, being the best you can be, that should be good enough.

    Folk shouldn't need legal advice, it's a priest (whatever) they need, as it is all about morals, the cash is a sideshow to how the club pitches it's social integrity.
