Losing Faith?
 

After yesterdays match I was well hacked off. The confidence and camaraderie of previous squads has dissappeared and the negativity is infecting the terraces. Then I looked up this thread and realised why I turn up every week with my hard earned £13. Read it and weep folks, I did.

Supporters. Why were all the HARDCORE fans that post on here regular not @ Woking? too many to name 1.

Don't you think there are enough divisions between Stanley fans at the moment, without stirring up recriminations over events that occurred nearly two years ago? I don't think this was what Uncke Mick had in mind when he ressurected this thread!

Re: Losing Faith?
 

I can't speak for the rest, but I, for one, just couldn't be bothered with the drive.

Don't name Haggis316. From Kipax's Woking collection - I'm in dark shades and green jacket just this side of the guy from Portsmouth's banner.

Precisely Wynonie, even if you only go to one match a season you are a supporter who would have been moved when we reentered the league and would be devistated if we dropped out again. I posted up that thread as a shining beacon of positivity against all the negatives we`ve had recently.:)

Re: Losing Faith?
 

I wasn't at Woking (the reasons why are sod all to do with Jesus Was A Red or anyone else) and I for one would be devastated if we dropped out of the league. I will be at Chester next week, by the way!

Re: Losing Faith?
 

I'm pretty sure that Eric would prefer everyone to save their money going to away matches and pay for a friend to go to the next home match instead.

Re: Losing Faith?
 

It was easy to go to Woking a couple of years ago. It's always easy to go anywhere when you're top of the league and facing promotion in the face.
Try going to Goole Town (or wherever) on a foggy Tuesday night when the team you support are midtable, season, after season, after season............

I'm pretty fed up with things and have been for a long time. I'll still keep going, because I'm an idiot. :D

Re: Losing Faith?
 

Uncle Mick .....oh the memories - something to really celebrate then & that just wasn't the obvious of winning the conference - it was the level of play & performance, the team played as a team, played with gusto, hearts on their sleeves & never gave up even if losing!!! Thats the stanley i came to watch many seasons ago:D

Looking back at that time has only made the realisation of how lack lustre with 11 individuals mind reading with difficulty!! Not a team of recent matches, playing worse at home, no gusto - no passion - no heart & giving up all too easily!! Even last season we played with much better passion & drive than we are this season & thats whats making it worse - COS we are a league 2 team very capable of staying that way - mid table even, why are we playing like a relegated team already:confused:

Some people on here - die hards even, have suggested the idea of returning to the conference - why? its too easy for us - too comfort zone, not only for players but for those fans too,:confused: would it benefit us more gate wise - maybe not. Are we scared of a challenge ??? Seems so, breaks my heart regardless of the result - even losing that if we have to lose we lose with passion, with pride that we did the very best we could, we fought for the 3 points, we tried with might & just luck wasn't with us - i would so much prefer that than seeing what i have especially at home of late!!

How are fans supposed to get behind the team - when the team gives up so easily [management tactics + players ability being key here], we had that last season & previously but i've seen not much this season.

C'mon players/management...show us like u did last season, u keep the faith & we will back ya & keep the faith! WE CAN DO THIS & BLOODY CAPABLE OF BEING IN LEAGUE 2 EASILY A MID TABLE LEAGUE 2 - DONT GIVE UP! Getting relegated for trying hard & proving that but alas we cant - fair enough, BUT relegated without trying hard as i know we can we did it last season, would be heart & soul destroying indeed!!

There my rant over - its not a negative one - just a constructive one that i believe we can stay & perform better our lads are capable just not showing it all atm:rolleyes::D

Re: Losing Faith?
 

i was there, got me all over TV and The Internet.

Re: Losing Faith?
 

Where in the football league! Where not in the bottom two! Whats everyones problem:confused::confused:??What do you all expect...Promotion?:rolleyes:

Just keep the faith , im sure you will all change your tune if we win wont you:rolleyes:

Re: Losing Faith?
 

We don't expect promotion just a decent performance from the team, something to encourage supporters to keep coming to the games. We have got one point from our last six games that's what everyone's problem is.

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.
