The club is a million miles ahead of that day and you're moaning. Stop going if it's so depressing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trueblue1987 148 Posted November 16, 2017 I get what you mean. We play better teams, we have better players, we spend millions but for me, personally, football isn't about that it's that sense of belonging and being with your mates and family. I'm 30 and I've had a season ticket without fail for 26 of those years with my dad and grandpa. My mates came to join us, as did their friends. This last year people have dropped away because of prices going up and enjoyment satisfaction going down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markowl 9,961 Posted November 16, 2017 As I said those back to back play offs have sucked all the enjoyment out of it for me too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More often than not, the reason for moving to new stadia is to increase capacity...our ground would be fit for purpose with a new west stand and the corners filled in for many years to come. many clubs had to relocate to build New stadia to improve Their truly dilapidated grounds...which we also had before the 66 World Cup. Grounds like Filbert Street, vetchfield, Baseball Ground, Ayresome Park, Roker Park, Boothferry Park, Burnden Park & The Dell were still essentially unchanged from the 1920's.. We just need to alter and extend certain parts of the ground and facilities within, not build an entirely new one and pay for the land to do so. IMO it would just add to the way that football clubs are becoming detached from ordinary folk by becoming a park and ride venue In an industrial estate off a roundabout off the M1...or worse still some kind of Ricoh Arena...

rickygoo 6,026 Posted November 17, 2017 I can see why people want to but it would be a wrench too far I think. Too many memories wrapped up in the place for me. Each to their own though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lees Tom Cat 5,097 Posted November 17, 2017 After brexit loads of clubs will move abroad and join a European/ world super league. National football will finish. We will probably be based in Thailand. They just waiting for this generation of fans to die off coz next generation won't be bothered anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
