Well I've spoke to various people who went the game on Satdee and although I feel I can't comment on that game, as I did not go.. I have been to plenty of previous games I feel to make an opinion.
I'll be honest for the first time since watching Alty I ended up doing 'Something else' on Satdee. It was my Nephews 3rd Birthday and even though it was a 'family' thing my mum, dad and even sister were shocked I turned up and didn't watch Alty. YES some may now say "You are not a fan" or "Stick by the team" but too be honest when it costs me around £60 to get to a home game and I am being served up with rubbish I just didn;t fancy an away game at Stevenage so I took the route of actually spending time with my family who I do not see very often.
I'll be their on Satdee and will continue to go to as many games as I can get to but the sad thing for me was that for the first time ever I found something else to do other than watch Alty... That just isn't like me at all as Ecky and co will tell you. And too be honest got me thinking A LOT, What worried me is if I felt like this then there must be others ?? Then I made a few phonecalls and found out there was !
I am not judging on 'just one game' but I am really hoping for a BIG improvement on Saturday and if there is not then I am going to be totally disheartened with it all.
I don't expect a win every week, people know I am much more realistic than that but what I do expect is a team that puts in effort and COMPETES. If we had lost 3-0 on Satdee but 'gave it a go' then I would not have minded.
It's sad to say but I have the same feelings as you about this.
Stevenage on Saturday was the first time I have left the game early (10mins). I too should have been somewhere else and decided I could get there quicker if I got out the car park early and away from that sh*t town and that sh*t performance.
I'm afraid to say watching Alty seems to be 100% about the journey, the people and the booze! Football seems to be getting in the way and that seems like a shame to me!
I'm not asking for a Man Utd attitude where we are hacked off if we don't win everygame but a pair of balls and the odd surprise would be a start.
