I'm going to sound my age now but I preferred it when you payed on the day and stood where you wanted. If the game was rubbish the terraces often provided the entertainment and rubbishing the ref. The game in those days was more working class, now its more middle class,probably because so many working class cant afford the cost. The fans those days felt more in tune with the players,gone are the days of the Smiths,Jones etc now its often names you can hardly pronounce not alone sing. Saints at the Dell was a family now at St Marys(don't get me wrong its a better stadium)its still a family but all too often at odds with each other,crying out for success and not getting it. The Hardcore will always be there but these owners are really trying the patience of them.
At the end of the day,people are not going to spend their hard earned cash to watch the team lose week after week and in a lot cases getting thrashed i e by 5 goal thrashings at home.
What is concerning is so few players improve while playing for us. Of course we have bought some players not good enough but there is now too many not to be concerned that we have big problems with our training techniques and fitness. What’s happened to our academy,where’s our young prospects? We keep going on about players failings when we should be addressing our problems off the pitch.
I agree Kingsland, but waiting for Liverpool to win their umptieth Title,Man City to buy a 50 million player or seeing Bournemouth,Brighton and Fulham doing so well gets to you just a bit. The thought of playing Pompey next season with this lot in charge is enough to give you nightmares.
We know the manager has an impossible task but what credentials did he have to take the job? What had he done that the club were so keen to get him? Nothing personal against him but the owners need to take the blame for this fiasco with poor managers.
