Fair enough. I assumed less seeing how you always seem to have comments on the 'match thread'.
You don't think the amount of games someones been to should partly determine how relevant their opinion is?

You only have to go to Withdean once to realise we are gash.

Rightio.
Do you only need to go once before coming to an established opinion on a players ability?

For me, it depends on how they frame their opinion.
If they make it clear that their opinion is based on listening on the radio/player, reading the match report in the argus, highlights, report from a friend who wet, reports on here from people who went, then their opinion should be as relevant as anyone who went to see the game.
On the other hand, why should going make an opinion more valid? What if the person who went has no idea about football and the guy who sat at home listening on the radio has the nous to read between the lines, to listen to how the game is played and see through the commentary clichés to get a great picture of the game in his head and use his football knowledge to analyse the game?
Does that mean all the fans from Australia have meaningless opinions?
I understand where you're coming from, and yeah, you probably have a better grasp of who's been playing well and who's been playing badly etc.
But paying £70 odd quid for the privilege of spending 3 hours on the train then sit there in the freezing cold for 2 hours watching a terrible game in a terrible atmosphere where 90% of the players don't give a shit every other week doesn't appeal that much to me.
Maybe it could be viewed that my opinion doesn't matter as much as yours then, but ultimately i want the best for my club, and i'll say what i think, regardless of what the people who go week in week out think about it.

Dennis Wise at the game today, with a collegue I didn't recognise, rumours spreading around today of offers from a Spanish club For Poyet, big transfer funds apparently being offered to Gus. I think we are possibly at a start of a silly season.

Fair points and I agree with you on both counts. As you say there is a lot of contextual dependence.

If that club is Real Zaragoza as has been stated previously then they are actually 80million+ in debt & suffering boardroom & fan discontent. There is no more money either. Gus was a hero there & probably still is but he has already said he wants to stay (if the chairman wants him ) & see the job through.

The transfer window is where Poyet really needs to pull at least two (and maybe up to four) real impact signings to make us competetive for the rest of the season. The players are out there, after all Murray and McNulty were signe in Jan transfer windows.

I reckon we need a keeper, right back, left back, two centre backs, right mid, left mid, two centre mid's, and two strikers.
Get quality players in each of these positions and we're laughing!

I think there's 3 at Yeovil.
Hope rumour is true- we're 3 hungry, talented, young players away from turning things around, whatever people would like to think.

Perhaps he should pop along the coast for some coaching from Avram!
