Used to be full of energy and good vibes even when we were shit.

What's happened to you all?

We have always stuck together, we all now nobody likes us but that's what made us unique!

Barrow ruke the third..

90 fa trophy winners

2010 fa trophy winners

En mass to Middlesbrough and Sunderland and sung for 90minutes

From bottom to playoff winners

Promotion season barrocelona

Football isn't a given, turning up is not a right to three points..

The negativity here this last couple of seasons dragging us all down.

Cmon folks, wake up! What happened to "fortress" holder st?
What happend to being loud n proud No Matter What?

Do we continue to live with fear or can we change that to make teams fear once more?

That ain't down to just the team on the pitch, that's our duty and our commitment to the cause surely?

Maybe due to winning only a couple of home games in the past year or so people are fed up not getting any value in entertainment as thats all it is a form of entertainment something to pass the time

So do we carry on twinning about it or do we get behind the team?

Was a better atmosphere when we had 500-700 than what we have now..

Time for change? Time to Stand tall?

This forum just breeds negativity. I know im joining in just by typing this but after we beat Sutton the match thread was dead inside 48 hours. Everytime we get beat its never ending doom and gloom and multiple negative threads. We all need to get our shit together and start pulling in the same direction

This is all really great but this side has lost half its games and only won 1 from 8 attempts. In terms of keeping things positive this isn’t the route to take

Its this fickle, rose tinted, happy clapping attitude that allowed the club to sleepwalk into relegation last season and unless reality hits it might see the club sleepwalk down into the league below.

Last season was shite, this season has also been shite. Nothing has broken the ennui of following this club.

The truth needs to be said. Its wretched on the pitch and off it, it’s not much better

I get it Nige that we are unhappy with results but witch-hunts and negativity which is a constant of late brings nothing but misery.

Just trying to raise the positivity a tad..

If you can't see even the slightest of improvements then you really must be desperate to see the club fail..

There is improvement, it's not massive as the points don't show that but there is definately improvement.

We can all focus on the doom and gloom continuously or we can change our outlook and all start to focus on what we are improving on.

On effort, we should be tip if the league.

The pretty stuff can wait for now, it's all about getting points in the board and reality is, it's a long season and yes, 8 games in but still a long long way to go! If by end of November we are still struggling, then yeh. I might be worried as you but now, the progress is clear and compared to the quitters last season, this lot are a breath of fresh air

At least they are giving it a go!

Wins and performances are what raise positivity of which we have had very little of in the last 18 months and this season has seen a continuation,
Fans opinions on Forums always reflect how good or bad a team is doing that’s the nature of forums
