Where has the fight, the passion and the drive gone?
Not that long ago the ground would have been pretty hostile towards to the directors box (and before / after the game) in a much better situation than this.
Now it is pure apathy, which is incredibly sad.

Like most on here i'm an old b*stard so have been through the mill of it and to be honest i'd say part of the issue with fans now is that we're just completely ground down.
Back in the Branfoot and even Lowe days we felt we could make a difference. The gap between rich and poor clubs wasn't the size of a country, and teams could survive or even do well by having a handful of high quality home grown players, and those players would stay for more than a season (or half a season in worse case scenario).
These days protesting doesn't really do anything, we might get rid of Ankersen but then what? Football itself is just completely f*cking rotten from top to bottom and it's basically p*ssing in the wind trying to go against what's happened.
Even if the club got it's act together - and lets be honest we're talking about post going down and maybe coming back up - and we managed to stay up and maybe even solidify in the league, you know we'd just get raided again and then the downward cycle would start again.
So it's kind of understandable why fans don't have the stomach to protest, it's pointless, and really the protest shouldn't be focussed at Saints anyway.
If we want change, and want improvements we should be going after the whole damn structure of football. The clubs, the leagues, the owners, the tv companies.
Football needs to break to ever get it back, I can't see that happening so instead it's dying a slow death in this country, with the fans being replaced by passive consumers and "content creators" who don't really give a sh*t in the same way |
Agree with you.
Sadly, you only need to watch football on Sky to see WHY it is completely sh*t, they're lapping it up and propagating it.
I loved what Postecoglou said yesterdat about it going to sh*t (or similar words) as well. He said that the fans are allowing it to happen and saying nothing.
He cited the ref speaking to the crowd and said something like "did anyone enjoy that, did they want that?"
I was watching the match on Sky sports, the commentary team were loving that bit, quote "oh wow this is brilliant, we can hear the ref, just like the NFL, maybe we'll get Taylow Swift" ... I actually turned it off then. But to read what Postecoglou said this morning cheered me up, we need more like him please.
Absolutely sick of what has happened with the sport we all love and it's NOT just Saints, although our team is horrible, that's another issue. But you watch the games, the crowds are sh*t and dead, completely dead, like zombies staring at mobile devices and posing.
Still Sky (and the BBC and ITV) will continue to marvel at how amazing one rendition of you'll never fking walk alone is, which is once in a match while the stadiums are dead the rest of the match.
They'll continue to talk about Taylow Swift and refs with mics.
They'll continue to completely over-analyse fking EVERYTHING.
The fanbase is rubbish across football, but the lame media have fuelled it. |  |
