jonnyowl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Of course its a myth. If the team play well and give 100% fans will be happy. I dont remember being a toxic atmosphere under managers like Carlos' first two seasons or under Gray or Megson. Good mangers who could get the players playing to the best of their ability and players with a set of balls! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owler66 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 We've got a crap manager and team if they played in Concord park the results would be the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Christ on a bike, some people really have an issue with negativity. It has been a fact that players and manager have slated the crowd at home games. Anyone who says otherwise, probably has a monk fetish. Not being funny, but you can't have it both ways - you can't slate the fans when they are there for the issue then say it doesn't exist when such turd performances still exist when the fans aren't allowed in. THE PROBLEM IS MONK!!!! Edited October 24, 2020 by Salmonbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Wednesday fans are no worse than most fans of ‘big-ish’ clubs in terms of getting restless at poor performances. Teams who are punching above their weight will obviously have more patient fans as they’re happy to be on a generally upward trajectory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completly agree mate We're no worse than other clubs when it comes to turning on players. I would say our fans are very supportive considering what we have to put up with. There will always be scapegoats at every club and we're no different 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 One thing I've always noticed is how noisy the Hillsborough crowd is when we get a corner or even a throw in after a good move or break away run - people even stand up clapping and shouting 'come on' You don't see that often elsewhere. On the other hand, even though I think the SWFC crowd-base are an honest bunch who definitely wear their hearts on their sleeves and expect 100% and adore good players, this then becomes a problem when there's a general opinion about a player who they don't rate, like Morris in the 80s; Barry Horne in the 90s; Beswetherick in the 00s and now Pelupessy. The stadium announcer announcing their name to a collective sigh might not be right but it's understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jack Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 13 hours ago, IWEDFM said: Over the years ex players/managers and even our own fans have claimed the reason our home form is so poor is because there is a fear factor around Hillsborough when it isn't going our way and our fans are quick to jump on the players' backs instead of getting behind them Our four home matches so far in the league this season have yielded just 2 points and 2 goals in our favour So this myth of blaming the fanbase is a load of tosh and has firmly been put to bed. The fact is the manager and the majority of our squad aren't good enough and it has nothing to do with what goes on in the stands Who is blaming the fan base! Only the fans themselves. Home and Away without fans, means there is no longer an advantage to anyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
