Yeah...I'll disagree...................it was a F*****G disgrace





Edit: In fact....after watching the programme on-line I can confirm he called the crowd PATHETIC and not a disgrace.....personally, I'd call it a PATHETIC DISGRACE but apparently me saying stuff like that is driving people away from this forum

All about meeeeeeeeeeeeee

Give jaybs a shout he can share some of his persecution complex meds with you.

Who rattled your cage?

Mythbusters for me!

Heartbeat

Any minute now someone will come up with Embarrassing Bodies!





Think the word "disgrace" is a bit strong when you are talking about a minority sports crowd figures. Think hacks like Irvine should be a bit more careful than using emotive words like that.



Gutters - you do make me laugh. You of all people keep having a go at crowds...by your own admission, you were hardly a die-hard when you lived in London.



The word for our crowds is "disappointing" or "annoying" (or "small"icon_wink.gif

How can anyone say that crowd wasn't a disgrace? It was a total disgrace and an embarrassment.

he didn't say it was a disgrace, he called it PATHETIC.



DSWG......you make a valid point, I attended maybe 10 games a year at best. I am exactly the type of fan the club should have been targetting with encouragement to become a ST holder.......I never, ever got any such encouragement. I was on a mailing list that was used a couple of times at GP.

I can ..I just did.





Seriously, "disgrace" could be applied to the idiot Salford louts that were a complete embarrassment to the human race but imo, it's a bit strong in the context of an RL game.



I respect your opinion Dave that that's how you and others may call it.



BTW, I doubt there were even 1500 in the ground by the second half. That terrible first half saw people walking out (including some die-hards that I know).



Problems remain, how do you get people to come and watch a losing team?

I almost walked out at halftime too - glad I didn't. However the atmosphere was the best it's been all season where we were sitting (which was near the halfway line in the west stand) during [size=150=#FF0000THAT[/size 2nd half. Personally I've given up noticing how small the crown is this year and if I wasn't a ST holder I certainly wouldn't have been to every home game this season - and I travel a long way to home games.

Gutters I take the point about targetting people like you (though one of you is probably enough

) but it wasn't beyond your capabilties to ring the club and order a ST if you wanted to support the club. Why do you think the rest of London should turn up to watch this shower?



We know Gutters thoughts on marketing but I wonder if there is any budget left for it. After all, St Dave has had to spend money he was not expecting to, i.e the removal of a coach and appointment of another one and additional staff.



All in all, it's been a right crock of poo. Sooner we get this season over with the better!
