Most liked posts in thread: Booing City

I didn't boo but surely the highlighted part would suggest just why many were booing ?.

 

Normal

 

Hartlepool has a population of 90,000.
Bradford is the 10th biggest city in England with a population of ~600,000

Hartlepool has spent the last 4 years in the non leagues and has never played at a higher level than the 3rd tier.
They're also above us in the league.

So you're comparing apples and oranges. A better hypothetical, would be City in the top half of the championship despite a poor away record, still getting a great following. Which is exactly what we would get, if ever that scenario comes back around.

The one contingent who deserve nothing but praise, is our supporter base. In fact, we haven't been touch enough with the shit show we've endured over recent years.

 

Never in a million years and us old farts have seen some right dross .

 

Why not?

Would you just praise them no matter how shit they were? It's healthy to show moderate disapproval so they're aware we're not happy, and it ought to motivate them more to improve.

If we just clapped and said well done after every 1-3 loss do you think they'd be as motivated to put it right?

If I was a player, and the people paying my wage were unhappy at the job I was doing, it would certainly motivate me to try harder next time, but if they were happy then it's easy for players to think they're putting in an acceptable showing.

 

Bereft!

 

Well I agree with a lot of this to be honest but booing long term failure doesn't make sense because these players and this manager aren't to blame for the fact that we are underachieving year on year and when we're booing draws I really do despair a little bit

But you do make a good case and you're right about a lot of it I'm just not a fan of the attitude of our support this season it's very disappointing

 

Couldn't agree more

 

I rarely if ever have booed but is booing any worse than singing were fecking shit as quite a few in the atmosphere section did on Tuesday night?

Though I have chanted your not fit to wear the shirt a few times over the years. Always out of pure frustration though.

The recent years of shite on the pitch is now beginning to manifest itself as genuine discontent from the stands.

We were told its promotion this season and so far our form is more of a mid/lower table team. That's what is beginning to grate on a few, me included.

It's like buying a ticket to see the latest James Bond film but ending up seeing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

 

that implies that they don't care if they win or lose either way, or at least booing/showing displeasure is required to do well.

the season behind closed doors should have been 46 losses then.

are Sunderland a bunch of happy clappers? are Newcastle a bunch of happy clappers? I think not.

 

Aww, you did that just for me? I won't pretend to understand it, but thanks anyway!

Spot on Sir.
If it achieves anything it’s DEMOTIVATION?

 

I don’t boo and thought it was crazy when Evans was booed coming on against Rochdale, that said Tuesday night if anyone bothered to stay to full time then I can’t blame them to much as long as it’s aimed at everyone not just an individual.
That said I’ve never booed as like on Tuesday when it’s that bad I’m well out of the door by full time, think I left after 70 again Bristol City under Parky. Earliest ironically I’ve left was a 4-0 win against Walsall when we had that freezing rain which I’d never seen before, left at half time after watching the first half on the concourse and warmed up at North Parade.

 

I’ve left Blackpool at half time on 2 occasions.
Can’t remember the year but we were 4-0 down at half time and we were sat in the temporary stand.
The other time was when we lost 5-0 under Grayson.

 

Can anyone imagine anyone booing in the Bradford End and the end result?

That’s why it hardly ever happened from memory and when it did it was cut short rather quickly!

 

You pay your hard earned money, you're allowed to show discontent if that's how you feel about their performance - simple.
