I can say categorically that i would love to go to evry home game, but i cant i have been to 3 games this year thx to competition wins, friends and actually paid once.



I pay into the Lottery every month, have this years shirt and will be attending the grand final regardless of the team (because i have planned and budgetted accordingly)



I take umbridge at one brush tarnsihing everyone (which is how Mick started the thread) how do you know the guy in the station wasnt in a similar predicament..



Simple answer is stop fussing and just tell the person the score..



Fact is i would love to take my son to the game everyweek but i cant and once the blues and yellows decide whats good for them probably get worse ....

All clubs get this im afraid, when we got back to Wigan after our game at Widnes I couldnt tell you how many people asked me that question. It does make me laugh when their reply is something along the lines of 'WE smashed them' or 'aren't WE doing well'. Unfortunately these are the same people who will be lining up for tickets should we get to a final.

We better not be playing in purple.

I agree with if there are good reasons fair enough, but 6 of my friends who used to have season tickets stopped going in 2007 cos they were losing

And as I said, those people do not deserve to call themselves supporters. I know a few of the same.

as do I. and most of those use macca as an excuse. strange how at the same time the attendances first at leeds and more recently at hudds have risen. probably a touch of glory supporters there ( and strangely enough 1 of the ones I know is now a season ticket holder at hudds). Theres always going to be an element of the crowd who go to the club thats doing well and theres not a lot we can do to stop that bar improving performances on the pitch.

Likewise theres probably a large number who either dont attend at all or pick and choose their matches due to current economic climate and I think thats perfectly understandable. Again not a lot club can do about it unless they do cheap ticket deals / freebies etc but theres a break even point beyond which it becomes unsustainable for club to do this without losing too much money.

All we can do realistically is put as good a product out on the pitch as possible and hope it makes people want to attend again.

Mmm, well we have before.....along with lime green and yellow, IIRC. What's worse is that it might still be in my cupboard!

Priorities?

Ha. to think I nearly missed that. It amuses me how much I can annoy you without actually doing anything.

So just for the sake of argument when was the last game you went to?

all clubs are the same though. I remember talking about Leeds rl in the office in the late 90's and no one was bothered, then alot of the same people started pretending they had been going for years, and have again stopped going again because we aint winning as much this season.

But equally the games have got more expensive, and in the countries current state people have to prioritise, and you cant fault people for that. My first season ticket cost £5!

Obsessed much?



If memory serves, you stopped going because you had some sort of pathetic little crying episode about the coach leaving and how it should have been Mr. Davies instead. So I'm not entirely sure how you think my post referred to you in any way?



It's quite ironic that you think I am still obsessed, while showing it is apparently the other way around.





My apologies though, as yes, I should have included people in your category of non-supporters, although I'm not sure how to classify it.
