Halfdan of t'wide embrace wrote:In the Stoop days a few of us from a London non League football club watched Quins RL. One summer we brought a big group of first timers. At half time we were talking among ourselves about another fan who had taken up officiating and was expected to get the following years FA Cup Final. (He didn't but is a regular at the Euros and World Cup.) A well known Broncos fan turned round, started shouting who cares about Wendyball, football puffs etc.
Strangely none of the first timers ever came back.
Half you are exactly right. Fans abusing Saints chairman to his face, same one using repulsive language generally, it goes on and on.....As Ive said a small following gives them some form of identity. If they followed Wigan for example they would be one of 15000 so just another fan.
To make it worse we've now given them a platform to represent the club to the leadership. Frightening.
