Often after results like this I’m on social media venting my frustration. Sadly it’s becoming the norm and like many others I just can’t be bothered. I have a season ticket so I will be there Saturday but if I hadn’t I might join the 500 fans that have drifted away. Some people say look at the league we are in a good position but let’s face it I think the quality I’ve seen from away teams has been the worst for several years.
Apathy has crept in, it’s obvious that we are so light squad wise and especially in attacking options.
I too are fed up with the constant drivil from the management team, we are losing to teams that I have to search on google to see where they are from, bloody rubbish Boston.
The club would do well to listen to these kind of posts, I only attend away games on a very infrequent basis but I hear it all the time from lifelong supporters of the club who have just about had enough of the constant mediocrity served up post covid/post ground move. I know of around a dozen regular York Street attendees who were long term 25+ seasons supporters who now either don't attend or only attend when it suits them, not as a matter of course.
It was a frequently touted phrase that The JCS would be a game changer but all I've seen is division in the support and a general apathy about the direction of the club, which can't have gone un-noticed in the board room. The lack of information coming out of the club smacks of the bad old days of the 90's before E*ans arrived when a club communication with the fans was about as common as a visit from Halleys Comet.....it begs the question what has happened to warrant this change in approach?
Well part of the problem is that however nice the new ground is, or could be, it still isn't york street. Even York street in decline was still full of memories and, give it its due, it was for a couple of decades a ground to be proud of at non-league level. I mean, would anybody have swapped it for, say fylde, Scunthorpe or Walsall.
There are a number of things that put people off going:-
1. Team becomes shit
2. Move to a ground that isn't miles better than the old one
3. Turnover of players so that the connection between the team and the supporters is lost. "I don't know who any of these players are" syndrome.
4. Detestable owner or manager - glazers, evans, fat Mike Ashley, and not in that order.
When you get two of the four it's bad, three is a serious problem.
