I think some will actually go tomorrow out of curiosity. A bit like people slow down to gawp at a car accident. It's called morbid curiosity. It could well be very morbid. On the other hand there have been times when fans have stayed away only to miss a cracker of a game. You see, you just never know. I will be there because I have already paid via my ST.

I won’t be going I’m afraid. Still can’t justify it.  Haven’t heard anything yet to tempt me back.
But I really really hope I end up regretting not going.  I was hoping I’d regret it last week, but ended up making the right decision. Come on Town, make me and the other 2000 think again.

The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

This is one of those very rare occasions when I would love to be proved wrong.

That was how it was Civvy when we played Swindon, on the back of another period where we went 5 games without scoring

It was the lowest gate we've had this season I believe but imho the best game - one where we had desire and demonstrated we have got a team to get excited about

If you take that one game as an attractive event in isolation though, I can understand why people are now reluctant to get out and watch Town

This is the third Saturday on the trot that we'll have been at home now and for some folk it is just to much to tolerate

If there was any hope of attractive football, an attack minded team and tactics, then I think people would give the club the benefit of the doubt but as it is, week after week, the enthusiasm from the terraces is being sapped

I don't know whose idea it was to bring the Morecambe game forward from mid February to last Saturday but in a lot of ways it has back-fired, not just as a stand alone defeat, but as a continuation of a hapless / hopeless spell

Anyway I will be there tomorrow with no great expectations, just high hopes of some positivity..... can someone wake me up about 5-00pm tomorrow if the game goes the same way as the last few have?

I play locally most Saturday afternoons but always check the results as soon as I’ve finished. I went last week and it was appalling. I haven’t got a game tomorrow and not sure I can muster up the will to go to BP

I choose to work overtime instead. Gaining money is much better than throwing it away, which is just how it feels at the moment. I always looked forward to going to the game with my mate and his lad. A pre-match beer/bovril and a bag of Haribo, and looking forward to seeing the lads hard at work. But just lately, the joy of going to BP has gone and I feel very sad and annoyed about it. I'm sure it will come back, but at the moment, it's work on a Saturday for the foreseeable future.

Wifey offered to buy me a ticket for tomorrow (probably just to get my miserable face out of the house when Town are playing) I turned her down flat. I ain't going back until AT LEAST Slade has gone. End of.
