I feel the same way Bigdog. Slowly but surely, season on season, i feel less and less attachment to the club. I'm rapidly approaching 60 and other hobbies and interests are starting to look more appealing to me on a Saturday afternoon.

I saw on old footballing team mate of mine at half time on Saturday. He was at the game to have a look at the new squad and was a bit perplexed at the style of play, and couldn't believe we were winning the game, as FGR were clearly better than us. He was also bemoaning the fact that he couldn't get a pie or a pint because the scant facilities were overrun. We were at the back of the Main Stand and he said, "look at this stand, it hasn't changed since i was a young lad, it's depressing". I very much doubt he will be back for the second game of the season at BP. I know loads of people who have stopped going regularly for the same reasons. They keep dipping their toes in, then quickly decide that nothing has changed, and drift off again.


I would love to know what hobbies are better than football on a Saturday afternoon for a post 60 year old (even after Saturday) Ginny as I would seriously start considering it!

Considering you posted the words 'utter garbage' on social media on Saturday afternoon......


can you please back this up with some evidence.

I look forward to seeing this as it is simply a lie

Walking and hiking in my case. If Town have no game, we can set off Friday night to the Moors, Dales, Peaks etc, and have a full day doing stuff i enjoy. A game on a Saturday means you can't do that, but has always taken priority over other pursuits. There was many a game last season when i sat looking out  over the Humber and thinking i would rather be somewhere else.

2 days before the transfer window shuts and still no striker or wingback options we crave.

I was impressed with the midfield we bought in pre season but the lack of wingbacks and striking options we have struggled to get over the line have been dissapointing to say the least.

Take your pick.....cycling, golf, stuff with the kids, whatever.

Personally I go for hill walking/mountain climbing or just generally visiting beautiful countryside (usually Dales, Lakes or Moors) with or without the kids.
I doubt I'll be back at BP in the next few weeks but then money and travel (150 mile round trip) are factors, along with the aspects outlined by Ginny and Bigdog.

I have to say that I agree that it is demoralising to see how little things have changed at BP (in every respect) in a long, long time and that there is little if any sign of any real investment, ambition or imagination. Shame because the market is there. The place was buzzing pre-kick off on Saturday.
