[StannyCFCJET]

Nice subnote too.

Ive done that for close to 10 years and for what. Their not putting in effort why should I? This whole turn up each week no matter what is something I used agree with, these days I dont even know whats the point.

[Roundball Enthusiast]

Actions speak louder than words, my actions will be not using my season membership for the rest of the season.

When they have 3-4k at home games, something will change.

Until then it will be the same old shit.

Everyone should vote with their feet for our last home game.

I don't think you are alone in feeling that way, mate..
Its very easy to go "fvck it" and not care or not show up or to ignore it.. But in reality, its times like this when we are at our lowest that the fans are needed most..
I'll piss and moan on here all day, but in the end, I'm still going to rock up.. I've just lost any element of hope or any expectations so that I can no longer be disappointed..
I'm a shell of a husk of a bloke..

*edit* Actually, I've realised I'm just a masochist.. Looking to get treated like shit and hurt me more.. haha

You've been coming to game since you were 5? That's dedication. Love you Stanny.

I just cant watch anymore. Its bad enough watching the players **** up but when you see certain squad selections and subs/tactics etc. Your just sitting there all game thinking why am I here?. Also if we turn up with no expectations like we expect to lose and just accept the inevitable thats even more on the depression scale. I cant even watch the grandfinal dvd anymore makes me depressed knowing we may never get those feelings or players with that passion again

Sometimes i can sneak past security if they don't check my feet for hair. I can even get onto the field at the end of the game for a run-around.
