Whilst they are important to the club's revenue, I find it much harder to value their opinion - mainly because I feel they are too critical when the team falters. I can roll out all the spiel about I remember when we were proper sh*t but its not that. Its that they feel like a weight on the teams / clubs back.Chief crazy horse wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2024 5:27 pmKnow what you're saying but you still shouldn't underplay the fans that blow like leaves in the wind.LittleMate wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2024 8:54 pm I'd rather have 5,000 fans that will follow the club through thick and thin; support the players that wear the shirt and sweat in it; back the management when hey strive to improve - than have another 2,500 fans who blow like leaves in the wind.
Just saying.

I'd prefer it if you didn't go any more ! Go and enjoy your hard earned cash somewhere else and learn to smile again .Yanzi Gravy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2024 3:25 pmYou are saying we cannot criticise.

When we are paying increased sums in ticket prices for poor quality football one is entitled to criticise . You are talking as though BW are a a huge opposition.
Many supporters knew our weaknesses earlier on this season and have highlighted impending problems. We need a complete shake up but that is unlikely to happen especially as the owners will increasingly lose interest and be more concerned as to how much of their money they can claw back. I don’t know if other clubs on sale have tangible assets that go with the price but we seem to just have a name and a lease the value of which will be ever decreasing. I don’t know how sponsorship compares to previous years and takings within the ground. Nigel T expects people who value their health to buy junk food on offer when you can buy a healthier option in one of the Kurdish or Ethnic restaurants nearby at fraction of the price. Supporting the club and respect for the fans is a cooperation and when like me I feel I am having the club taking the pi55 , you start to look at what you are getting for spending hard earned cash on a season ticket.
Nobody holds a gun to your head so you hand over money to watch any football team. You choose to watch & you choose to criticise. Have a season off & try to fill your time better.

I take it, as a so called supporter, you weren't at the game, Sweens had a pretty decent game yesterday, until the sending off and was actually one of our best players on the day.
And, both bookings/the red were due to him towing the team line and acting on instructions in breaking up play and if you look closely, in the final act of kicking the ball away, the Borehamwood player actually kicked the away ball whilst pushing Jayden over. Obviously the ref never picked this up.
And the team actually played quite well against a resilient BW for 60 minutes, as we have seen from most other ties, these games are far from pushovers. There was also still some belief from BW, lets not forget their cup exploits over the past 4 years or so. For us, the whole game changed after 60 minutes when the substitutions (some enforced) started. Pertinently, they had to move Galbraith to right back, Dom Ball who also played well and looks decent was starting to 'blow out of his arse'. That's when things started to go wrong and BW threw the kitchen sink at us for 15 minutes.
Yes, for part of the game, things didn't go plan, yes there have been one or two disappointing summer signings but also some decent ones on a limited budget which Nigel has publicly declared he is dealing with in seeking new investment.
It would be really nice if some of our 'so called supporters' would get behind the team and club during this sticky period rather than throw out these negative comments an insults. UTO's
