Re: Losing Faith?
It might seem depressing to point this out but look at our past record in the league - apart from a very brief period in the mid-fifties - we consistently struggled. We finished bottom on a number of occasions when there was no automatic relegation and we somehow managed to persuade the league committee that we should be re-elected.
Where is there any reasoning that we should be any higher than where we are?
Personally I desparately want us to stay in the league - its what we dreamt about for years and years. But maybe we need to change our mindsets. We're not a big fish in League 2 - the truth is we've probably reached our level and there'll be plenty more grim matches to come.
I'll keep going to the matches myself but as things stand there's not much to advertise the team to 'soft' fans. A friend of mine asked if they were at home this coming Saturday cos he normally goes to Rovers, the last Stanley match he went to was Bradford on New Years Day and in spite of the good atmosphere that was no advertisement for the Stanley brand.
