    40 games and 79 points since the horrible 4 game slump last season , is more than a couple months good form.
    That's champions form
    Just a shame its spread over two seasons

    You missed out the best bits, like the smell of dodgy burger stalls, thick cigarette smoke, the jostling at the turnstiles, trying to spot your mates on the terrace and squeezing through the crowd............ used to love night games.

    Mark Hughes certainly did not help with his tippy tappy football

    loved the smell of pipe tobbaco, could not beat the smell of a bit of rough shag.

    From a personal stance I have never advocated protests and boycotts because I think they do more harm than good but I suspect there are few people in the fanbase who protested out of pure sheep mentality and whom are now quiet and content with where we are.

    Ironically, prior to the summer of madness, Richmond had the club profitable season after season.

    I used to get the job as a nipper of roughing up and shredding grandads flaked pipe tobacco. Hands stunk for days!

    playoffs 2016 2017 2023 missed buy a couple of points last season , the later 2 failures down to Hughes partly and right in there this season.
    We have achieved nothing as yet, but not as black a picture as some would paint

    The simple thing is if a fan wants to attend then he/she will. No persuasion from fellow fans or current form will change their mind.

    Fit? Judging by the amount of posts in the 'Restaurant' thread, you should weigh in around 40 stone!

    If we’d have had Sarcevic and Patto fit all season I have no doubt we’d be top of the table now.

    Listen, we can all blow hot air about things and say we’re never going back until etc etc…..

    But the only person suffering here is what seems to be quite loyal long serving fan who is missing out on an unbelievable turn of form that could lead to a long awaited successful season?

    A little bit of stubbornness maybe?

    Not a Taurus by any chance are you? Lol

    I cannot understand in try ing to out the non attenders when we have done nothing ??,,..


    And if we actually do go up is suddenly the failures forgiven ??????
    Is it fook we should have been up seasons ago and the reason we aint is down to wank leadership.

    So in a nutshell i have continued to go but i aint gonna start pulling anyone up for not going .

    It's not a decision I arrived at easily or quickly. I'm quite at peace with it, it's all good. And I'm delighted to see the recent run of form. I hope everyone in that dressing has the single aim of not just winning promotion, but winning the league title.

    My guess is Rupp has spunked a few quid this season to get us promoted, thereby increasing or at least sustaining the value of and increasing the interest in his asset, Maybe he'll sell if and when we go up
