Every cloudI must admit, the loyalty points thing is good for me as well. I already had 25+ but I’m now sorted for tickets for a long time
I’ve got a three year old and he knows our team is red and white but that’s it. He has the strips but I’ve not taken him yet. I’m hoping Short sells and we bounce back when he starts to understand.As the father of 4 kids including a football daft 7 year old on the Hampshire/ Surrey border - it’s a feeling of sadness and despondency mixed with guilt. I promised my son fun away days and wins throughout the turgid frot of the relegation season- and this year, its even worse. I don’t want to take him to away games as we tend to fight Amongst ourselves when we are this shi*e and he’ll be further scarred for life.
Then I had to tell him on Friday that Lewis Grabban had been recalled- “Daddy- why don’t people want to play for us?” He’s Genuinely heart broken.
I reckon I’ve got 6-12 months before he gets lured to one of the plastic southern clubs.
Then there is a real empathy for hard grafting people that pay money they dont have to sit in a rotting carcass of a stadium feeling their life force energy ebb away every fortnight in front of journeyman and chancers that earn 500 times more than them.
And all of this emenaring from a city that has had a really rough ride over the last 50 years and that really needs the jolt of energy and sense of pride that a vaguely decent football club provides.
Really sad times.
I’m a “resting” fan atm. Partly because of the shite, the shirt, the board, distance, age, prices and some players but mainly for the ownerships inability or refusal to learn from mistakes and insistence on taking advice from idiots and con persons.
SAFC are one of the reasons keeping me from moving back. I don’t want to go every week and I know that’ll happen.
Having said that what’s this about Watford tomorrow for the u18s
Youth cup game v Watford at vicarage road. Two o’clock kick off iirc. It’s on Watford’s websiteWhat is happening at Watford tomorrow? (Genuine question - might pop along),
Of course it bothers me...I'm posting about it, but does it affect my life?? Not one bit...I have to get up for work, pay my bills, bang my wife and beat the kids...same as if they were in the Champions League...

I am not giving up on the lads even if we fall into League One....
They are going to turn more than one generation against them very soon, marra. The club is performing very badly in the way that it communicates to fans at the minute, in my opinion. Despite steam coming out of my ears now, and fingers itching to vent fury, I'll leave it at that to save any bother.
Still get mildly excited about going to the match... But don't have any expectation anymore that we'll do anything. Aren't particularly gutted when we concede as it's so inevitable. Aren't particularly frustrated at inept performances by individuals or the team as I've come to expect it. Generally apathetic.
I used to think "there's no where on earth I'd rather be at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon than here....". But that's gone over the last few years sadly.
Barely, tbh, due to a combination of factors. Getting older and less willing to put up with shite, realising that you have a dislike of most of the players that verges on hatred (not many of the current lot though, they're hardly to blame), distance meaning I can't really get to games, and the realisation that football has changed and we're seen as mugs to be bled dry. Having to pay to listen on the radio was the final straw really. these days I keep an eye on it when I can but it's not a priority and it in no way spoils my weekend the way it used to.
Very childish thing to say Bowers.This is a great post but you’ve missed out the hatered that everyone should have against short.
I think this thread is very instructive as to where a lot of fans are at. It is very sad. I tend to agree things will bottom out. It may take another 2-3 years, when all contracts have expired and we can build again from the bottom. Because of the fans, the club in one way or another will rise again. I just feel sorry for the older supporters amongst us who may not see it.
Well done RoddersI am not giving up on the lads even if we fall into League One....
