I've been saying this for months and didn't go today for this reason. I go to football to be entertained and Stam's style of football is frankly turgid. I've heard that he is questioning why the crowds aren't higher than they are. He must be blind to what he serves up week after week to paying customers. In the past when we've been in similar positions at this stage of the season I've barely been able to contain my excitement and looked forward to every match. This season, although we look on course for the play-offs i'm almost completely disinterested.Gunny Fishcake wrote:We won due to the fact Wolves were so sh*te .......we were one tiny notch above sh*te that being the fact we got three points.

I am going to go on Tuesday, although more in hope than expectation
The level of apathy around the club is definitely noticeable. With the amount of people flooding out before the end you'd think we were losing 0-3.leon wrote:I missed the game because the M4 was fcuked and couldn't get out of London.
TBH I didn't really care, which on a potential promotion season and I've been a ST holder for 20 years speaks volumes.

PMSL. I was there in 1982 watching us lose 3-2 to Preston in front of our lowest ever league attendance (about 1750 btw).

That's sad but I understand. I had plans tonight and at half time I seriously seriously considered leaving. I didn't care whether I missed a big decision, or a win, or controversial incident. I just wanted to go.leon wrote:I missed the game because the M4 was fcuked and couldn't get out of London.

I'm 32. It's not the standing/sitting thing that's got to me. It's not the whole petulance attitude that some fans have.AthleticoSpizz wrote:get over it Bobby (the stewarding thing)....how old are you?

Yea I also thought the support was good.Jackson Corner wrote:I thought the support was good today considering the trash that was being played. When you think we have been in the top 6 all season I've yet to hear a song about going up? Which say's a lot at no point have we looked like a side capable of promotion.

Besides it wasn't really a dig at you, was more just a current state of affairs of the club. No need to get all sensitive and defensive buddy.

If you could stay till the final whistle and not have to wait nearly an hour for a bus more people probably would.CountryRoyal wrote:The level of apathy around the club is definitely noticeable.

Had to check the scoreboard to see we were actually winning. Just no one seems to care/have belief.
