Do (some of) our fans deserve to go up this season? 11:10 - Dec 21 with 7179 viewsjasondozzell

KM and team quietly making progress. We were always going to finish top 6 but I'm now very optimistic about top two. I think we will win the league.

But do we deserve to go up again? When KM came in our support deserved every moment after years of misery and after backing the team through thick and thin. A few idiots aside (Bristol Rovers away etc) the support was excellent and it was always about enjoying the team's success.

But ever since the success came back that's gone in many ways. A lot of 'fans' now who seen to see Town as a 'plaything' - something to discard at the first moment it's not doing what you want it to do. A lot of individualism where 'support' is all about me having a good time and generally behaving like a berk and not really about the team's success at all. The kind of supporter who spends all the game more interested in the opposition fans and posturing and doesn't watch the game at all. Or who loves giving it large on social media when everything is great but really it's still all about them and not the team. Dare I say it the kind who says 'the tifo spoilt my view for 30 seconds'.

The treatment of the team and some players this season along with the entitlement has been horrible to see. Same mob who wrote off Philogene and Clarke unable to see the irony of their disgraceful treatment of MacAteer.

As Sitters said, it was poor to see thousands flocking for the exit yesterday ahead of the end. I know some people have to get off and can't help it but the majority of that was the 'i want to get home and not be delayed' crowd. Individualism again. Staying to clap the players and staff after winning 3-1 at home before Xmas isn't asking much is it.

And it's becoming farcical in games when we go berserk over playing out from the back. The ENTIRE KM period of success has been built on this!!!!!!!! It's brave football. Same crowd then gets excited when surprise surprise we break their press doing it and find the spare man. Grown men where I sit who turned up once the team started doing well screaming at Walton is so bloody annoying.

Do we deserve to go up? A part of me thinks we really don't.

The question isn’t whether the fans deserve us to go up, but whether the team do. We’ll get the answer to that very soon.

It’s getting very annoying with d1ckheads having a pop at other fans all the time though. Why can’t people just live at let live and allow everyone to experience the journey however they want to?

The beggy “aren’t I great?” Hunting for upvotes and attention is weird enough, the constant stream of comical Ali nonsense that these people are churning out is fairly offensive though isn’t it?

What’s the point of a forum for them beyond their own narcissism? Why discuss anything?

Yep, it’s getting annoying. I liked your write up btw. We weren’t firing and that must have been a bit of an anticlimax being there, yet it’s not the end of the world.

Total nonsense.

We're on the cusp of a third promotion in four years and people are behaving like it's a relegation season.

Totally fed up of 'fans' calling Azon andHirst a 'c*"t'. Bloke in front of me didn't stop.

I didn't see any of these lot giving it out to Aaron Drinan during the really tough times.

It's been an absolute disgrace this season.

Fans don’t deserve to go up for posting anything negative on a forum board discussing football?

The reality is, McKenna has worked an absolute miracle to have this group on the brink of promotion, but you do have to be utterly delusional to think we’ve been sensational this time around, or more importantly if we are anywhere near the level needed to compete in the PL.

Can go back to my old posts as well if you wish, I’ve said long enough this rebuild already needs a major refurbishment, even more so heading into the PL.

Summer of change.


So it's not enough to get promoted now? You've got to be sensational with it too..

McKenna has worked a miracle but this team isn't good enough? You've now got to play the next season at the same time as this to be considered passable?

Pathetic.

I do carry weight on performance levels, I don’t think a football fan should be apologetic for wanting to be entertained and engaged with its club.

Kieran McKenna is a genius, because I don’t think this group is that good, but I’ve been saying for a long time, right or wrong, but I’m usually right, this squad needs a major overhaul.

We were happy to dismantle a much better group than this last time, so you can be sure we’ll need to do more this time around, with no excuses.

Do you understand how ridiculous it is to say you're disgruntled because we will be promoted but not playing to the level you demand?

The entitlement and lack of support from supporters this season is shocking. More idiots in yesterday's away end. Funny how they don't seem to have been there when we had 800 or so at away games during Evans dark days. Showing off to their mates 'Hirst you're *"""'.

Football isn't a video game or big budget Hollywood movie.

Each season is distinct and separate. This was always going to be a very challenging season for a large number of reasons.

We've played some excellent football including brilliant wins over that lot. We've kept going. We're playing different style and also playing teams who react differently to us.

You're wrong about major overhaul. We have a spine and many more players ready for step up. We go up in a better position than last time.

Good luck to West Brom. Good side and great support. We could learn a thing or two.

In what way is it ridiculous to say it’s an achievement to be promoted, but to not feel engaged or entertained by this group, as we have been before, is a problem?

Who in this team, beyond O’Shea, Matusiwa and Davis is capable of making the jump to the PL, considering they aren’t better than the team that was promoted last time and that was dismantled.

I’ve been Barnsley, Burnley, Burton and Fleetwood, Bristol to Birmingham to Hull and Blackpool, I’ve travelled the country supporting this football club for decades, I’ve been mascot, season ticket holder, singer and sulker, but I’ve also been and always will be a supporter, who the hell are you to tell me if my support is good enough. Do me a favour.

”… considering they aren’t better than the team that was promoted last time…”

Which is only your opinion, and although others agree, many clearly disagree with you and have the opposite opinion.

Extremely ironic coming from you.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

I agree with you much of the time on here, but not on this apart, from your comment re abuse of individual players being unacceptable.

Your header was "some of" our fans, but later in your OP you morphed that into "a lot of". An unfair generalisation I think, going by the ratio of posts on this forum.

Sorry, but it's really quite arrogant to tell other supporters how they should feel & react to the squad's progress (or lack of it). Those attending have paid out serious dosh to be there, it's their money that's partly paying players' wages, and you have no idea of the backstory behind them being there at all - whether financial, family, work, health etc.

Even those of us unable to go help via merchandise & packages for commentaries, news, replays etc. - not to mention emotional, mental & time investestment.

I'm with you on this, so many morons have come out the woodwork, paired with the heightened level of entitlement. The "get it out" crew seem to have been emboldened by the struggle in the Prem last year.

You should have heard the 40K or so angry Rangers (joint top of the table) fans at Ibrox booing their players off at h-t when going in 0-2 down to Motherwell (15 pts behind in 5th)! 😂
