    Bang on. Starting with the summer recruitment of cripples, amoeba's and faint hearted players, followed closely by a CEO that has blatantly lied to boost season ticket sales and an owner who was last seen performing in Abba.

    2 deals that sum up the mentality and ambition of the club. The sale of Crankshaw, the signing of Robinson.

    Support should be just that, when the chips are down and you need that support to lift you as a team. Booing achieves little other than to vent your spleen and get your emotions off your chest. The frustrations are not at individual players as such, although a few offer very little at this moment, more of a 'we' ve seen this before'.
    We all know the main problem and the effect his lack of interest has on the rest of the organisation. Unfortunately that doesn't look like changing in the distant future.

    Don't boo. Just leave quietly or in recent times, early. Something I had only done on the odd occasion before Rahic and Rupp came along. But then I don't clap like a sea lion everytime we win a game at the end either or win a 50/50 ball, or a header et al.

    The first game l walked out early was the Coventry night game in 2018. I actually left after their fourth goal went in, so about twenty minutes early. I usually stay right to the end. Even then l didn’t Boo, just walked straight out.:skull:

    Didn’t boo on Saturday, like others have said I save the booing for exceptionally bad performances.
    I think the mood from the fans started even before kick off when the team was announced as the same that lost to Salford and the same team that hasn’t produced a win in 5 games.
    It’s the fans only way to communicate to the manager that it isn’t accepted.
    Any further stubbornness from Adams where he simply won’t change the system is likely to get him into the same territory as Bowyer.
    The reverse of the booing is some cretins clapping like seals at Salford after a 1-0 defeat. Maybe that tells Adams that it was ok and fine to stick with same team the week after. Be interesting to see the lineup for Crawley.

    Didnt boo but don't blame anyone that did we were fecking dire!

    If some booing hampered Vernam and his 1 on 1 chance then he's in the wrong profession sadly.

    They'll be booed no doubt. Which is harsh. They've tried, they're just shit

    Long term, I still have faith in DA, short term I think we need to take more pain before he solves it. Maybe next season rather than this.

    Like many I bought into the hype, over estimated the players signed, perhaps wrongly thinking they were all Adams doing when in reality it looks like he's accepted Turnbulls influence.

    Like many I'm already totally disinterested in this season and will continue to go out of habit more than desire.

    Adams will get it right, but I think we are in for more of the same in player turnover for the next two windows. Cant see many of this squad kicking off in August 22

    The more we hear about this announcement the more it transcends in something as monumental as Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech.

    Same I left so as not to hear booing

    Did those booing see Hartlepool's away record before tonight then did they see the support their fans gave

    Imagine that was us our fans would be.moping and booing and expecting us to win every game

    Our fans are embarrassing and our support really is whatever Hartlepool said it was

    And on a serious note, booing the team doesn't get to the heart of our club's problems. If the problem is a lack of direction within the club or a failure to invest in the squad or the wrong tactics deployed on the day or an individual's errors, booing the entire squad resolves none of those issues. It might articulate the sense of frustration of the fans but the current crop of players aren't the ones who have failed our club over many years.

    Same here. They behave well, do well in school, they get to go to the cinema or bowling. Misbehave, and they have to watch City games with me.

    Cannot remember any booing in the Bradford end but remember a few of the hired cushions thrown from the main stand at the end of some games,

    I can vouch for the cushions being thrown onto the pitch after a bad result my job was to recover them and take them back to the cushion hut at the back of the old stand, happy days.
