The relationship between players & fans is at all time low in my opinion. The majority of them, they just don't mean anything to me right now. I used to kinda look upto them, even as an adult that's mildly ridiculous I know, but there was something about them, sure I know that in the modern era of footballers, that these guys are just average joes in comparison, but to me they weren't, these were the people that played for my team, ran out to represent the club that means so much to you like, they'd let you down sometimes, make you happy at others, make you nervous, make you shout, whatever. But when all said and done you'd make your hands raw clapping them to the hilt, and you felt that when they clapped back, however half hearted, they loved you too.
Somewhere, down the line, this has gone, and the present lot look & act like it's a chore to even bother playing for their wages. I know we poke fun on here at times, but folk like Monaghan & Gleeson have looked pretty miserable during their whole tenure. Somewhere down the line, the buzz of playing for Warrington, and what it means to the people of Warrington has been lost in translation.
