Cannot turn my back on them when they need our support more than ever, Smith will get any bad eggs out of the team and we will turn the corner!!!!
We are at the bottom now and we will rise up the table dont worry!!!!! :D


I was at the first game when Cloughy took over at Forest. My old man explained to me that this bloke would bring some trophies to the City Ground but it would take a bit of time. The rest is history.

I've got faith in TS.






Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.

When Alex Murphy took over in 1971 we were bottom of the league & it took a year or two to get the team as he wanted it.

I'm not going.
Many on here have said that booing is not the answer, to a point I agree, and many have said the silent treatment is the best.

I deliberatley didn't buy a Season ticket this year, and I choose to show my discontent by being 'silent', as I wont be there.

In life you have choices, and my choice is not to waste my money this weekend.

If certain people want to jump on me and call me whatever, so what, as someone else else said here, grow some balls and make a stand.

Till players are 'sorted' out, nothing will improve and I just hope TS, has enough free reign to make the tough decisions, and make them quickly.
If he can't, then he may as well pack up and go home, as he will be sadly, wasting his time.

For the record, I hope we win well on Sunday.

Wembley 09 - if it never gets better than that, at least I was there....
Wembley 10 - it did........and I was there again.
2011 - SL League Leaders.

Blimey, its getting good this supporting thing (or am I a fan.....)

If you don't want to go because you're fed up then just don't go. It's great to be a martyr, isn't it? Ooh, I'm not going to here, there or wherever. Oooh, I'm not getting a season ticket. Oh, whoopy do.


As you're usually one of the more sensible contributors on here, I'm not sure whether you're being entirely serious or not.

Would you really still go if they lost the next 20 games?
Even if those 20 games were in the same manner as the Harlequins game?

If so, I'd question who were the martyrs were.
Is it really those who have had enough, or perhaps those who will continue to attend matches completely regardless of what's being served up on the pitch?

I can sort of understand a mindset of not being bothered about Johnny-Come-Lately fans, but what should be sounding alarm bells, to anyone with even a passing interest in the club, is the number of long-term fans who have reached the end of their tether.

I'll give you an example. I and a group of old pals, all life-long Warrington fans/supporters (whatever the definition of those is on here today), who now live throughout the North regularly meet up at a Warrington game.
We've started to arrange our next meet and it's looking likely that a walk up Snowdon is the preferred option rather than attending a match!

This isn't just a dodgy couple of performances. This is the first time in 130 years we've lost 10 games on the run.

I do have confidence that Tony Smith will turn things around and it wouldn't actually surprise me if the prospect of a Wembley appearance finally entices 100% effort from the players.

However, until that 100% effort is displayed on a regular basis, "Whoopy Doo", I'll be merely a distant observer.

What would people describe as a glory hunter?

Would it be people who only attend when we are winning?

Whilst I know the current situation is pretty dire at the moment, if this was Saints or Leeds or Wigan, and their crowds dropped because of defeats (whatever the circumstances) they would be getting stick for having glory hunters.

I'm not having a go at anyone for not going, that is your choice, and people have different priorities, but the reason that I and others will go irrespective, is not due to being a martyr, it's due to the supporting them through thick and thin point.

i go pretty much every game but i've had enough the defeats don't bother me its the manner in which they are inflicted no heart,no passion,no effort i can't bring my self to go i may change my mind who knows who cares but it doesn't not make me a fan

I agree with that. I am shocked at some of the people who are not going (or threatening not to). But that wasn't my point. It is the almost bragging way that, for example, Les Boyd is God comes on here and let's us all know he's not going. That's what made me go Whoopy Do.

It doesn't make any difference to my point.
