Re: vs Notts County
 

as far as walking out early is concerned - I did.

it was either stay and start really telling one or two people what I thought of em or walk. The net was still rippling when I set off.

I stand behind the goals and sing my heart out for 90 minutes trying to get one percent extra effort out of the lads, but that was too much to hope for yesterday. Why should I stay and watch more of that crap?


And as I was leaving some prick said to his mate "look at all these c"£$s leaving early" well done that man - you nearly became the first man to get thrown over the back wall in about six years. If I hear it again you will be.

Could have been worse, they might have thought you were Rovers' fans ;).

Re: vs Notts County
 

i do think coleman has his favourites.

Only Branch beat Proctor to the title of the worst performance.
Branch will be dropped due to his fitness, Proctor will never be dropped by Coley -its a shame as it would do proctor the world of good after that performance.

Re: vs Notts County
 

I seem to recall somebody on complaining that a local championship manager should stop being allowed in to the FES because he was after Proctor. Thanks for confirming my response to that when I read it :D

Re: vs Notts County
 

I stayed till the end [much to no improvement] & the chants that was hurled at those leaving early in their droves was a bit pathetic to say the least - really good attitude to have at supporters that turned up expecting a match of 2 teams 2 halves, YET obviously stanley hadnt woke up properly or was only there in appearance only - getting heckled for leaving - mmmm really good advert them coming back isn't it - yet wonder why gates become a contentious subject neither helped by the hecklers nor the teams performance:rolleyes:

Re: vs Notts County
 

From that opinion, I presume you have a soft spot for Shaun Whalley. :rolleyes:

Do you knock them in a rotation system?

Re: vs Notts County
 

yes it was a dismal performance but a positive was it being the second highest saturday gate since the opening match so the crowds are on the up...only thing is after that performance will many come back???

Re: vs Notts County
 

I didn't hear any chanting at the leavers cos I was already going, I only heard the odd comment and as I said I nearly bit ..... but if there was any chanting then some people need to have a long hard look at themselves.

We'll never attract fairweather fans when we slag them off, if they are not fairweather fans then they deserve better. People leave early for many different reasons and it happens at every ground in the country.

90 minute fans are no better than 85 minute fans
singing fans are no better than non-singing fans
derogatory comment fans are no better than gutter filth.

We all salute the team when they are doing well and we should all be able to criticise when things aint so good. So what if Tom Dick and Harry were all shouting about how good we were when we destroyed Bradford, they should also be allowed to criticise individuals or the team when they need to buck up. Somewhere on this thread if said about how does it make the team feel when they see all the fans leaving early? who cares? Maybe they should think about how we feel turning up and watching dross!


Fans have feelings too and seems as though we even take ourselves for granted some times. If its wrong we should say so, when its right we definitely do!

Re: vs Notts County
 

I did hear one or two Ultras singing "part time supporter" to you macca.:p

Fans with numbers in their signatures are no better than fans with no numbers, you elitist snobs.:);)

Re: vs Notts County
 

I to left after the County 2nd went in and geez a whole 3 mins before the final whislte, i never heard any chants either, but couldn`t care less either way, doesn`t make me any less of a supporter than those that managed the extra 3 mins, but well done all of those of you that stayed.

Re: vs Notts County
 

I stayed for the 90 and personally it didn't really bother me that others were leaving.
No one should have their integrity questioned for refusing to stay and watch that rubbish in the freezing cold for longer than necessary.
It's the players that let us all down, not the fans.

Re: vs Notts County
 

Here here well said :thumbsup:

Re: vs Notts County
 

Totally agree...Coley has asked for maximum support and backing for the team. He got it on Saturday with more people and more noise on the Clayton End. The trouble is that certain players seem like they couldn't care less. Time for the big shake-up that he's always threatening!
