Would never consider not staying after todays game. This season it's more important than ever that the fans show some solidarity to the club and to the players. We come on here in our 100's and whinge like fuck about how the media portrays our club but we seem quite content to give them all the necessary ammunition.
I reckon most of us will do so.Forums like this are good because we CAN come on here and have a whinge,get it off our chest then go to the game and get behind the team 100%.The attitude of a few players leaves a bad taste but most have been first class.This is to show we are behind the club,while players and managers come and go it is the club we stand behind,MCFC.
I agree with guvnors son to an extent.I remember us getting relegated when Varadi played for us and we gave the whole team a rousing send off,to such an extent you could actually see the suprise on the players faces and them thinking,''Jesus we have been relegated,they are celebrating like we won the league!!''
It is life and people's perceptions of life that have changed and not all for the good.The internet,everyone wanting things NOW and going ballistic when things take a little longer are a by product of modern life where people can click on and access everything almost worldwide.This has rubbed off on football.
As the older fans die off,me amongst them unfortunately,lol,i can see a future where everyone goes to games but nobody really feels passionately about the club they are watching,it will all be about who offers the best ''Matchday experiance'' and we will see scenes like the derby when rag Rooney scored and slid towards City fans in the CITY end and excited tourists were laughing and taking pictures.Thankfully when that becomes the norm i will be long gone!<br /><br />-- Sun May 19, 2013 11:04 am --<br /><br />

I posted this thought on the pre-match thread as well, but I think it'd be a nice gesture to give Mark Halsey a decent send-off today?
We all remember him from the playoff and I can't think of many bad decisions he's made when reffing our games (that's not a prompt for examples!)
Seems a decent bloke to me.
+10!! A few rousing renditions of ''Mark Halsey is a blue,he helped us beat Gillingham''.......when we are safe and not at 0-0 mind,lol!!
