I keep seeing calls for us to get behind the club from other fans , directors etc. I see people blaming the fans for being negative or having knee jerk reactions..
We had 7000 at Grimsby !! Total support, we took 700 to Barnet in midweek and 400 to Altringham. The problem is not the fans, the fans are getting behind the club. The issue with some fans (me included) is solely a social media revolt. It feels like people at the club just want to stop fans asking questions and pushing for change.
I think the club should value the fans a lot more as the support is out of this world.

If we go 1-0 down to Telford do you think the fans will have a positive or negative impact on the team?

The only thing I would say, large numbers do not always mean large SUPPORT. The other fans saying this have seen teams like ours many times over implode in this league, so I would give them at least some thought. Saying that we have fantastic supporters and the club could maybe do a little more for the traveling lads and lasses, how about a discount for home games if you prove you went away the game before ?

The team should be not going 1-0 down against Telford, instead of needing the crowd to help get them back in the game. I mean seriously, look at your sentence, and then imagine yourself 4 years ago thinking about writing that 4 years in the future, and how bizarre that would feel. I'm getting tired of the fans getting the blame for the sh** team, sh** management, and sh** board. I would never personally say anything negative at all at a game, but can you really look at someone who took all the time and expense to travel to Altrincham to watch that cack, and then turn round and blame them for it? Like they nodded on the hopeless ball for the first goal, or mis kicked their clearance 4 times and then poked in a sh**ty own goal. If we go 1-0 down to Telford and then one of our players scores an own goal do you think that will have a positive or negative impact on the team? Which impact do you think would be more emphatic?

But it is the fans fault.
I totally remember certain posters specifically blaming tinters.
Fans out.

What I find the most unusual excuse/reason is DC saying the team were nervous. It is now HIS team and his tactics so no excuses about not having time not input. He should be motivating HIS team & put in a player who is capable of the captains role as it is obvious our current capt is not the man for that role. We really need a leader who is volubly expressive and who the others look up to. A good captain is worth a good few points. Right now I don't see a team capable of fight. They capitulate. Really needs some redressing. This is not Salisbury where the players coukd call DC Dazza. Time to step up.

we have a lot of great fans but were more like city fans these days,,booing the team,singing your not fit to wear the shirt,making up a rhyme with the name brunt,,making wan*** signals to our own players,, i dont like all that stuff,we were all over the place v altrincham but the players were clearly trying,, no point in saying were great supporters if we abuse the team every time we lose,,at altrincham some of it started 10 minutes into the game
bristols a much bigger place than portsmouth but both city and rovers gates put together only just edge in front of theres so were not that well supported are we?

Definitely. Great shout mate He is so vocal. It clearly means a lot to him and his head doesn't drop if he makes a mistake or the team are heaving a mare.

I think Mildenhall should probably be captain but goalkeepers should be leaders anyway and I don't really believe making one captain.
The worrying thing is I don't know who I would make captain. Maybe Lee Brown but not totally convinced he's that great a player. Also, is he as genuine as he makes out he is? I don't know?

DC specifically said he was building a team with mental strength because of the weight of expectation. He would interview players and ensure they were tough. Now he is saying we are struggling because the players are not mentally strong enough.

Now he is saying we are struggling because the players are not mentally strong enough. It depends which players he is referring to. If it's his own signings then can't really defend the bloke but if it's players like Parkes, Macca etc then fair enough.

If we go 1-0 down to Telford do you think the fans will have a positive or negative impact on the team? But that happens at most teams. Not a dig but a genuine question, when comes the point that us as fans say enough is enough ? When comes the positive action? How far do we have to drop? Conference south? Southern league? Do we just turn up and cheer them On indefinitely ? Im sure im not alone in feeling two contrasting emotions of deep sense of desire to support my club but a deep anger at the terrible way it is being run. Its very very hard to bridge that gap in emotions. Right now i totally put my hands up and say im feeling a genuine panic at what is taking place.

If we go 1-0 down to Telford do you think the fans will have a positive or negative impact on the team? The simple solution to that is don't go 1-0 down. If you make basic errors and fail to string 2 or 3 passes together and keep giving the ball away by punting the ball aimlessly the supporters will become disgruntled. I actually thought the majority of supporters on Saturday were incredibly tolerant, given the shambles unfolding in front of us.

Who's blaming the fan's for being negative? plus, even if they are, are those people not entitled to their opinion as you are yours?

Wtf !!! Hahaha !!!
you, Chris jelf in his statement geoff Dunford in his statemt, Brian on twitter. The fans are backing the club in big numbers. The directors just want to create a no questions asked blind following. Very subtle comments.
The status quo is killing the club not the fans who are behind the club in huge numbers.
