"I really hope you are not thinking about going supporting that club on Saturday. They made a mess of the club, a mess of the business, took the fans for granted, the players aren't bothered, the ones who are left are kids, why would you even want to fund that business after how things have gone? If you want to watch football and support a team why does it have to be that one? Go watch a local team who actually want to play".
I didn't really have a good answer as to why I would still go and pay £24 to watch Bolton, other than some vague (and admittedly, misguided) idea about team loyalty.
Anyone have their own thoughts on this?
Is it a good point to question our blind loyalty to a team? Is the very idea of loyalty outdated? It's a business now, and that's all it is. What more do they have to do to show us that they really don't give two hoots about the fans other than as cattle who pay to get in?
