Is it wrong to hate your own fans? : Mon Mar 09, 2009 11:41 am  

A question asked by one of us today due to being surrounded by around ten Trinity 'fans' who did nothing but moan and complain about most players especially Scully and Blaymire and about our tactics and just about anything else. Am used to that at home games but thought it was those who actually enjoyed going to the game that went away. Given the injuries we already had and the loss of two more players by the first minute anyone who had anything but admiration for the team yesterday should be refused entry to any game ever again and don't tell me we need every fan we can get cos folk like that are a waste of time.

You could also add to this group those who go intent on argueing with the Stewards..... We know its a shitehole, we know they don't let the players come right to the fans, we know they tell us to sit down its been the same for 3 times now and I dare say it will be the same next year - you dont like it, dont go.

Its really annoying isn't it. Some old guy behind us constantly said " They dont look interested..." and "It's just one up rugby". How can he question workrate and what does he expect with no halves!!

Matty had a poor game by his standards this year - but I don't doubt that he will know that and want to make amends for it.

As for hating your own fans - maybe, but being embarassed by and despising them - yes!

The 'ragging' of stewards is way beyond a joke and does my head in!

It's really simple isn't it. You pay for entry into the ground under the condition that when you enter, you agree to comply by the rules and regulations of the ground. You are told to sit, you sit. You don't like it, don't go.

Why is this so hard to understand?

It's bad enough the parents at Belle Vue who whinge when they are told that kids have to keep their legs off the barriers, away from the playing area. Don't like it? Pay for a seat!

You're not alone in having some moronic fans, every club is affected. Some people, no matter how hard you may try, are just un-reasonable. It's just annoying that these idiots are the ones which stand out even though they're always the minority.
Chin up. I struggle to see how anyone, Wakey fan or not, can be overly critical of your team based on the cards you've been dealt so far this season.
