I couldn't believe last night that people (alledgely fans) were actually moaning that we won. I find this very difficult to understand and then it got me thinking why are these people moaning is it because -
- they are so use to the many years of decline and we know nothing different - because they had a bad day and felt its only fair to take it out on the players - they've not had their daily, weekly, monthly '10 dollar' - regardless who is the manager(s) and who they've signed because JF is still at the helm its the only way they can try and get rid of him - or very passionate and expect instant results and success
whatever the reason they need to stay away imo because they are not having a positive influence on the team, i mean this sort of crap is not going to help the players is it its probably doing more harm than good. Try and put yourself in their shoes, not been at the club long, still trying to find their feet, nervous as fook incase they make a mistake and get abuse, its like an on going battle thats been doing the rounds for many years, managers have come and gone, players have come and gone, but the only thing we haven't changed is the fans (obvioulsy impossible).
I've been to thousands of towns games, yes i've had a moan under my breath but never shouted at the players it sort of defeats the object of going to CHEER your team on. I understand people pay decent money to watch town but you have to understand there is that 50% chance town could lose the match and no doubt the moaners appear from all areas of the ground even forums. I can sort of understand the fans frustration regarding the Baintree game but that was several games ago and besides Baintree have that momentum from when they won promotion and probably haven't had 10 new player to blend in, it happens all the time, look at how many teams have gain promotion and have excelled the following year e.g. Stevenage, Crawley Exeter to name but a few.
obvioulsy i have no powers but hearing this sort of thing is very sad, disheartning and annoying.
The question you have to ask yourself is
Why do you go to Town games?
I go because i love my home town and want the team to do their best and i am GRIMSBY TILL I DIE
I have heard allsorts of different responses like they dont like the style of play etc and to be honest all pretty pathetic.
(alledgely fans) -who the intercourse are you? Just because I'm not satisfied with what I see on and off the pitch and differ with your views it doesn't make me an "alleged fan" I'm a true fan. - they are so use to the many years of decline and we know nothing different -been a fan for 40 odd years so seen success you member.-because they had a bad day and felt its only fair to take it out on the players -had a good day thanks. - they've not had their daily, weekly, monthly '10 dollar' -what the intercourse does this mean?- regardless who is the manager(s) and who they've signed because JF is still at the helm its the only way they can try and get rid of him- JF is the reason we are are a non-league team.- or very passionate and expect instant results and success- ye passionate fan for over 40 years just want a football a team.You are the same as me in seeing loads of Town games so I cant understand how you are happy with the excrement we have had and are still being served up over the tenure of Fenty and his minions.

please dont call me a c_o_c_k its uncalled for. Ye agree sorry mate, out of order Fed up of people saying because people (including me) are not satisfied with what we are seeing now means we are not true supporters, opinions differ and they should be respected.

I am not getting a the players I am just so drunk about the last ten years and the continuing dross. I am going to the Darlo game and if its as bad as Tuesday that will be it for me after 40 odd years I cant take any more of it and that really hurts me to say it.

Hardly anyone is satisfied at the moment mate, avid fan or part time fan. It is a bit difficult to get excited about our club being in a league like this. Most of us wouldn't even be satisfied to win this league by a mile would we? Why? Because those of us with years of Town supporting behind us still think of this as Mickey Mouse football and League 2 as the dregs of the Football League and League 1 or the Championship as our true football home. But sanity has to prevail somehow because we cannot leapfrog 3 divisions by magic and be play off contenders for the Prem next season and we can't expect to see Championship footballers on the Park in the BSP. So my way to avoid bursting a blood vessel is to take this season a game at a time and to put the long term ambition out of mind for now. This league is wide open. Nobody has the clout of Crawley with the nous of Evans this year. We have a squad that is probably as good as we can get in our position and we need them to literally save the club. Job number one is to prevent things getting any worse! Most non-diehard fans do work on a match to match basis anyway. If we win a game the gates go up as a rule. If we win regularly we can average close to 4000 this year. A play-off situation would bring loads of people out of their armchairs. A promotion would give us 4500+ for the first home game next season. But such dreams have to start somewhere in reality and reality is Darlington on Saturday. The greatest thing for Darlo morale would be a divided Mariners fan base and we could be back to square one.

I work in S E Asia and try to promote Town as much as I can over there, I wear my Town shirt in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and everywhere I go because I'm proud to be a Town fan but its just so hard to get enthusiastic now, I think I've had it beaten out of me. I will never support any other team though.
