    I meant due to age. Nothing else.

    Either way our fan base needs to change.

    That's just as offensive. I hope you look forward to the day when you are deemed too old to be allowed into Valley Parade.

    Due to age doesn't make your comment any less demeaning. They are still fans of this club regardless of their mobility or lack of.

    Yep, we need to get shot of the Liverpool and Man United fans who pollute VP because the tickets are cheap.

    Nah we need to vastly increase prices. Get fans that really want to go instead on doing things in habit and making excuses to get out of the house.

    The hole you dug yourself over this issue keeps getting deeper.

    After watching for 89 years my dad has had to concede defeat and stop going this season mainly due to mobility issues. He still has more passion for this club than you will ever have.

    Doesn’t sing and make noise at the ground though does he?

    The atmosphere for 18k fans is poor.

    Did make me laugh walking past a group of fans as i was going toward the kop and one of them had a Man United scarf on.

    You really are a piece of work sometiimes. If you'd made that comment about my father i'd wipe the smile clean off your face. Learn some manners.

    Never had a fellow poster on ignore but he amazes me with some of his comments, the latest aren't even debatable.

    Couldn’t agree more.
    Normally just ignore his inane club bashing drivel but this is too far.To single out a group of fans who just happen to be older than the rest of us is just downright offensive.
    My old man was going to city right up until he physically couldn’t go any more and was the reason I went to my first game all those years ago.
    He nearly ended up with frostbite at the Walsall home game a few seasons ago because he ignored
    our pleas to stay at home due to the predicted weather that night.
    I suspect the majority of elderly fans who read his comments will be rightly offended and I applaud the mods for taking action.

    At the match on Saturday I saw an elderly old boy with what I presume was his son helping take an age to get down a couple of steps to his seat

    I thought bloody good on him to go out in the pissing rain to what will probably be the highlight of his week, and a reason to leave the house

    We're not set up to play on the front foot
    Completely agree with this. We’re lulled into the pretence of being a possession based side but its without urgency and purpose. We’re not set up to play on the front foot, so at home we flounder. I’m all for keeping the ball and sometimes a backwards or square pass is the right thing to keep the ball and enable you to move forward. But far too often our midfielders receive the ball from the defenders with decent time and space but rather than turn and look to play forward, they go backwards or sideways. Case in point, the first goal yesterday.
