Two of us were going and were staying over; hotel cancelled.

We booked months ago.

Can't face it.

I'm going because I'm GTFC.

Plus I might be able to say I was at the last game Russell Slade managed at GTFC.

I've pre booked cheap trains and hotel which aren't refundable.
I look at it this way, it's a weekend away probably spoiled by the football.
If I end up leaving at half time so be it.

You're going because you've always gone and it's really the only thing going on in your life. You'll buy season tickets and go to away days with the rest of the fan club like every season. There are people who really don't have much left but the football; many of them elderly and that makes it sadder what's happening.

I guess it's more the social aspect, getting out on a day trip and having a few pints that's the real appeal. Watching a team with no morale, run by people who don't care because they lost their passion for football ages ago sure isn't.

No more than 200 Town fans I reckon. If Slade was in charge and playing half decent football I could see around 400 going. If Slade had been sacked I'd see 600 odd. If we was flying high and Slade was gone well over 1,000. Sad really. Just incase they're reading, it's not just about the success on the pitch (although winning obviously helps!) it's the way we portray ourselves on and off the pitch and lack of footballing effort and keeping the ball down.

From what I’ve seen it’s not the mythical hoof ball from slade that’s putting me off . It’s the fact that he signed a load of W.ank and between him and fenty continually try to bullish..it the fans with p.iss poor spin and when they fook that up they completely embarrass the club . This has rubbed off on the players who look like they are totally down spirited that then leads to a losing run like they’re on now .

Chairmen, owners, managers and players come and go but the club will always be in my heart and I cannot accept that anyone who calls him/herself a supporter can hope his team loses.

What change do people want before they will support their club? Change of manager? Winning run?

For me it is in the hands of the manager. Just want him to send his teams out to win & entertain. I don't believe we play hoofball at all but what we do play is cautious and boring with players who are devoid of confidence and belief.

Nice 2-0 away win tomorrow coming up
