Are we a club of moaners?

[The Grockle]

Right before anyone slags me off or claims I’m fishing, this whole naylorgate/moaning moan has got me thinking…. are we a club known for having more than our fair share of moaners or are we just like any club that has a small element of moaners?

I have to admit I’m beginning to think that PERHAPS we do have a little problem with moaners and unjust negativity. Am I being a little harsh on our fan base?

Poll to follow....

 

[MrShaun15]

yes we are, but so is every club....

This. Anyone who thinks otherwise has their head in the sand. NSC is a small representative cross section of the Seagulls supporters base.

We're nothing compared to Spurs whose fans would win the Champions League when it comes to moaning

 

[c0lz]

No more than any other club

Whinging Spurs, Villa and West Ham fans have dominated phone ins over the last 15 years. Wait for a solitary home defeat, or a couple of losses, and tune in.
The Spurs calls lessened during the Redknapp honeymoon phase, but resumed after no purchases in the January 2011 transfer window.
Makes amusing listening.

The Poyet era seems to have isolated or silenced the Albion miseries, for now.

I think the internetters are a very vocal minority

There was always going to be an anti-climax for some miserable gits! personally I don't understand what people have got to moan about!

Its not a moan, but can posters please stop using the word "THIS" unless it forms part of the first sentence of your post/reply. Where did the use of this come from and why the need to use it. Classic example is ClippedGulls post earlier on this thread. (no offence to you by the way ClippedGull)

Justified moaning: My season ticket seat no longer exists in the north stand.
Un-justified moaning: No f###ing clock; teething problems on the first match.

I was a bit shocked at the level of moaning after the first match, but I NSC is just the vehicle, not the problem.

The support is full of them and always has been, the worlds full of them, the doom and gloom merchants,nothings ever right. We have all had one stand or sit next to us at matches , home and away. The game is lost before kick off types. They will never change and will always be with us, thank God we do not have to actually be their partner, sadly some poor person has to at their residence.

We are probably no worse than many other sets of supporters.

It is my guess that the club are probably interested in what we have to say otherwise it is difficult to imagine that Insider (thanks for your many answers) would bother.

The one thing I would say is that, rather than descibing something as disastrous or a disgrace, we should always remember what we have had in recent years and perhaps leave it at a suggestion "something could be done to improve -----whatever. Must remember that the new stadium is a big learning curve for the club, it's direct and franchised employees.

Let's be totally thankful for what we have as we are truly fortunate.

God, I dunno, if I read one more thread about this, I'll spit. Dear God, this forum is rubbish, posts about Naylor, posts about NSC forumites, thread after thread about the Argus and their articles about us. Why oh why oh why oh why do I come on here, I'm wasting my time, bloody serial whiners, I dunno.... etc....etc....

 

[Curly5194]

I have answered "no more than other clubs" but then I read stupid comments about "Loyalty Points" on here yet again (ffs) that I'm starting to wonder.

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

We ONCE had a reason or two to moan....we don't now

 

[mikeyjh]

No - Quite the opposite, I've said this before but I think you lot are generally more positive in than most fans. Even to the extent that some do seem to want to put their head in the sand over important issues such as travel to the stadium....

 

[magoo]

People only feel motivated to write anything if it's a complaint or a moan thus making it appear an unbalanced view on the whole. Also NSC is inhabited primarily by very much a minority of fans.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Sometimes the complaints are entirely justified - fluffy and dusty season tickets for one.

I do think we have more moaners than other clubs, definitely. But I suppose I wouldn't really know as this is the only club I support. But it does seem like we do have a lot of moaners.

But there is a difference between moaning about waiting half an hour for a pie (a valid moan, and if nobody mentions it then how are the club going to know it is an issue) and moaning that the game was boring because we were 4-0 up and just passed the ball around the back rather than getting it forwards.
