Out of a group of 7 or 8 of us who we regard as very loyal, patient, mature fans, only 3 are going to the match on Tuesday night, I am 1 of the 3 and I may not turn up, we are all season ticket holders and totally pissed off with what's being offered.. You may call us dis-loyal, part-time supporters, I couldn't care less, I've paid my money but I can't stand any more of the treatment, notice, I have not criticised the team, manager or board, I have the 'Head Coach' elsewhere but can't be bothered at the moment, no one listens, anyway.. I may still turn up but not very likely, out of interest are you all going..?
My last game until mid January, so I might as well, but that's the only reason. I contemplated bothering on Saturday, but was naively thinking we could demolish Sheffield Utd because I believe they are much much worse than us! If it wasn't for the fact this will be my last opportunity to see some live football before I am secondment to New York for 8 weeks, I don't think I could stomach another performance like Saturday. Hoping whilst I am away, my desire to go to games will come back, but at the moment, I half dread it because I know there's a big chance I will end up p*$$*d off for the rest of the weekend!
We come from Devon to most Saturday games- Getting to midweek games are difficult with time and work commitments, but nevertheless, we said on Saturday, that we would try our best to come if we felt encouraged by a good team performance- In view of what we got on Saturday, needless to say, we wont bother- The only reason that I will still continue to come on a Saturday is because I am a bloody idiot, who has followed City for 45 years, just like a lot of us. It does pee me off, when that sort of loyalty isn't two way.
I'm the same as most of you. 64 years a City Supporter and I don't want to watch this any more. At present I'm not going but may well change my mind at about 5pm tomorrow. But is it worth the time, cost and the misery? Maybe if 5,000 or 6,000 stay away for a game against the top of table team, then SL may just get the message. While 12,000 plus attend, nothing will change.
All of your commments are valid and other fans will stay away in increasing numbers as Xmas gets closer and results and performance continue to unimpress. Orient could easily destroy us tomorrow, but we are just so unpredictable it's impossible to say for sure, but I would still bet on an away win. Unless Saturday was just a blip, which previous performances overall last season and this suggest it's not, then the board and owner need to think very carefully about what their next move might be and it needs to be made very soon, because this can't continue as its been going, and if it does continue unchecked, we will be relegated. I dont imagine that Orient have much of any away following despite their lofty position so it could be the lowest league attendance of the season Very sad and depressing all round.
I'm not going, mainly because I cant get there in time. Would go if I could as its Bristol City. If we wanted to watch a team that won all the time we would pick Arsenal, Man United, Man City etc... We chose our team so we stick by them through the good and bad. Remember its just a game. Doesn't effect us just pisses us off. It's easy to support a great team but its great to support YOUR team. Win Lose or Draw.... It doesn't matter, BCFC till I die and I aint dead yet! COYR
Will be there,but I hope he changes his formation and tactics. Watch us win so unpredictable are city.
I go with ten but out of them fifteen are going. Five are double plus good ... Made of the right stuff. BUT if you are so bent out of shape stay away ... YOU WON'T DIE ... 9PM Amy Willertons tits are on.
I am in London right next to the London Eye from 1830 till 2300 so will only get the result after then
I'm going - if we were in the Conference I would be there Midweek games I leave Dorchester at 4.30 ish and get home about 11.30 - it is a long way home when we lose COYR!!!!
Wiz, I feel exactly the same. Never have I felt this way about City. I'm leaving it till tomorrow evening before I decide. The mate (another S T Holder) I go with has already told me can't face it any more. I really don't think the Board understand our frustration with SOD. I'll say it again - we have the players to do well in this League. OUR PLIGHT IS TOTALLY DOWN TO SOD.
If I wasn't selling fanzines I might consider not going? although I am also an idiot so would probably have made the trip from Cardiff in the hope that things will get better. After nearly 50 years you think I would know better??
55 years a City fan, I can understand people not going against Orient after saturdays useless performance...I will be there supporting my club tomorrow night! COYR
We have the players to do well in this League ... Better yes, a subjective well no. OUR PLIGHT IS TOTALLY DOWN TO SOD ... A pantomime oh no it is not unless he is reponsible for signing a handful of players who soak up an overwhelming majority of the playing salary. Baldock and Kilkenny's salary = How many players? Anybody? Has to be four, five six Bryans and Reids. That enormous annual loss BCFC creates existed priot to Mr O'driscoll. Even if the club were doing "well" the loss City losses will still be significant. That is down to poor managment by the owners of BCFC. Balancing books will take season not months. Other clubs have gone out of business with lesser debts.
This my friend is the post of the day. Baldock is being paid a fortune,cannot hit a barn door at present,blame the board for the mess the club is in,poor SoD is taking all the **** for past mistakes by the board and past managers,the guy is being hung out to dry.
Clifto/RedRobin You can't see it. Or are you being deliberately obtuse ? I know, we all know the sh*t fiscal position. I'll say it again - we have the players NOW who could do ' Better yes'. Forget bringing in others. It's down to SOD - how he sets up and the tactics HE dictates is the SOLE reason we are in a relegation position. ps - His Fish-like charisma doesn't help either.
i have never read anything so shocking in all my 49 years on this earth.. Redprintt has a mate...!!!!!
