floyd__streete Svlad Cjelli Becaue that's where the money is, in the family audience. The assumption is that "traditional" supporters - the ones who create what atmosphere there is - will carry on coming regardless. Big assumption!
Bearing in mind I am absolutely certain that our next divisional move will be downwards rather than upwards, I'd suggest that the families will be conspicuous by their absence on a cold midweek vs Oldham in front of 6,000.
God...I really don't want to go back to those days. Nightmares of Stuart Barlow for wigan terrorising us on cold tuesday nights. The traditional madejski goal scored by the opposition would be a looping cross to the back post where some lump like simon haworth would outmuscle our full back with a solid push then nod down into the far corner, or a mis hit snapshot phil whitehead would get a hand to and you'd all watch in agony as it rolled out to the opposing player who tapped home the equaliser afer being dominated the majority of the game to send the 150 away fans into raptures. The whole atmosphere was just shite...you could literally hear the smell of the pie's and bovril from the concorse spilling out into the seated enclosure and you could literally hear every baby crying in the ground such was the hollow echoe. The pitch was always chopped up and useless and the opposition tactics were always the same....nice new ground out there boys lets hold out for the point. Not a single fu c k given about keeping the ball on the deck at a high tempo. Kids for a quid, LDV vans trophy where they paid you to come rather than charged and the worst refereeing standard imaginable - makes me laugh people complain so much today, they don't know where they are born.
Please god...don't let us return back there.
