Hmmm, that would make you the proverbial 'Fair Weather fan'. Would you go if we continue our current form ?


Fairweather fans stop going when the going gets tough and the results don't come. Someone not going because of their dislike for McGhee and decidiing to not go until McGhee has gone is a form of protest with the idea being that, if a enough people do it, the club will have no choice but to dismiss him. It's very different and, whilst not a choice I would make for myself, is to be respected.

Disagree.What about a new season,fresh start for everyone?
Or you just carry on being stubbon and petty over it? To be honest there not real fans and won't be missed either.

People WILL be missed though due to the lost revenue.

Seven points out of nine is hardly like to get somebody sacked though, a bit of a hollow gesture.

About 15 I reckon, mostly aways. Cutting down this year, can't afford it anymore (actually that's a lie, I've NEVER been able to afford it, but I've only just figured that out).

That's a perfectly fair and jusifiable response. Cost is very much a factor but valid.

season ticket sales were down this year though weren't they?

I take it I'm also classed as a fair weather fan because I didn't renew my season ticket and I'm not going to many games this season even though I've been supporting us for 30 years home and away?

Strange logic some people have got.

I was very pissed off with McGhee last season but that is history.I love the club to much to not to go and so far enjoyed this early part of the season so far.Sitting at home when we have 7pts from 9 because of McGhee is a very poor excuse.Like what i said,not real fans

Not sure what you mean, didn't refer to you as a fair weather fan did I ? As it I think any relegated club will suffer a drop in season sales. I have paid to watch far worse managers than McGhee too and although its very early thus far I can't complain much about our form.

The not real fans argument is bollocks though isn't it?

Is someone who works on saturdays classed as not a real fan then because they didn't get out of working?

You say stubborn and petty, others would say making a point and standing by it. I don't see what gives you the standing to define who is and isn't a 'real' fan but I doubt anyone really cares.

At the end of the day, plenty of people have stopped going who have stood by and actively fought for the club through the dark years and for decades before. If they aren't your definition of a 'real fan' then fair enough but I wouldn't imagine they are bothered about your opinion one way or the other.
