Quoted from headingly_mariner
I don't blame the current set of players for where we are, they are making a decent fist of this season and are in with a shout of promotion, although Hurst has not been exciting anyone, he has made us tricky to beat and for years that hasn't been the case.

I think the team are suffering the frustration of years of failure and it's not fair to put that on them, they will have off days but we usually get a shift from them.

I am not saying we should accept where the club are but I think the frustration is being directed at the wrong people.


Some good and fair points headingly_mariner especially about the frustration, who do you think the frustration should be aimed at?


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

You clearly haven't been to the recent games. Arnold for example.


Arnold apart who "hasn't been making a decent fist of this season"

Pretty decent fist made at home to FGR and away at Macclesfield....


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Interesting comments by James Mckeown on our home 'support'. Fully agree with him.

Quoted from pontoonlew
The fact is fans will not just sit and support any old shite. If you cannot see that the performances are dull, boring and toothless, win, lose or draw then you're deluded IMO.

You can't just expect fans to be bored to tears and simply lap it all up.


The real delusion here is the idea that what we are seeing at the moment is, in some way, "not good enough." We have a team here who are in a decent position in the league and have the chance of achieving what I would have thought all of us want, namely promotion. They deserve our support. Instead, all they seem to get is a barrage of unwarranted criticism from people who, as we have seen in other threads, cannot see the truth even when the bare facts are laid out to them and I, for one, am thoroughly sick of it.

I think going to every home game and a good few away games, and from what I see week in week out I think it warrants some criticism , I'm not just going to roll over and accept it.

You feel free to put your side across , but take your rose tints off first will you

I haven't got any "rose tints". I'm simply looking at the facts and the facts don't remotely justify the criticism.

Facts are great, as you have the facts;

1.  What is our home record and is it good enough for a team seeking promotion?
2.  How does our home record effect our gates?
3.  How do our gates this season effect next seasons budget?
4.  Are we strong or convincing enough to win one of the two promotion slots?

Here's a fact - we've won 8 home games out of 18 played - league & cup - do you consider that to be good enough?
