Despite all of this City still got 30,000 each home game. The football they played was some of the worst in the clubs history but rather than not going to games and damaging a club that was at that time in serious financial trouble, they all turned up for the Macc game but decided to turn their backs on the game to show their feelings. Sounds childish but it made them feel better and in their view they were not making the problem even worse.

That's exactly my point, where would Man City have been now if them fans had not turned & supported their club finacially when they probably needed it most?

We need numbers back through the turnstiles now. If people had turned their backs on the club under Wilson we wouldn't have seen the success we had just around the corner from the Wison era.

I'm glad you took my point in the way it was meant SB & not a personal attack on your end of post view.

That said he made two good saves in the first half and was not to blame for the defeat.

The linesman near our end was about twelve and had possibly he worst game I have ever seen an official have. Even the Boston fans sitting behind him were in fits at the decisions he gave for them. Duran Reynolds was easily MOTM with Eddy, [SwearFilter] Davies, Burns and Johnson also having decent games and Allen did well when he came on. Williams was, as has been said, truly dreadful with Arnison not far behind.

I cannot believe that we were segregated in the corner of the ground when there were only just over 30 of us but clearly Boston have lost all grip on reality. All their steward could tell me when I questioned him about it was that they used to have 70 stewards when they were in the football league. Well hate to tell you this but you ain't any more and on the evidence of today you are no more likely than us to be back there this century.

Despite the result, a good day out as always with the Exiles and at least some signs of improvement performance wise. Biggest positive was we made subs early and tried to get back into the game but we need to learn how to shoot rather than the powderpuff efforts we had today.

In the football league seasons the away fans were given the town end but then again the football league teams brought alot more fans. Stockport will be given the town end as they are likely to bring a fair few. But a few seasons a go we gave gainsborough the town end on boxing day as we hoped they would bring a good following. Yet instead they brought a measely 26. That is one reason why you get the corner. It will be the same at stockport, it will be segregated and it seems the same for clubs which have dropped from out of the league.

The board and manager treat the group of people I stand with at games with contempt.

I don't like some board members and I have no respect whatsoever for the manager. I was coming to games hoping we lost to hasten Bayliss' exit.

Once I realised that the man is virtually unsackable I lost hope.

You wouldn't go into a bar where the landlord hated you but needed your money to stay in business and your beer was served by a barman that was a violent liar.

You would probably drink somewhere else and think '[SwearFilter] them, I hope they get what's coming'.

That's pretty much where I'm at right now.

I understand it probably not nessesary for the whole segregation but its the clubs rules. Us fans used to switch ends yet there was still segregagtion but we had some issues with some fans "trying to fight north ferriby fans in the play off game. There is a highlights video for the match at http://youtu.be/rgXwl6WqUYo. Not sure you can say 3 players were down injured when we scored.
