I virtually never post on this forum, but observe and take in what in the main is reasonable and objective comments
about our beloved football club.
Today has been remarkable in the reaction from supporters and has led me to post this observation.
I accept fully that people who take timeout to spend their money and support the Stags at the ground have the right to objective criticism.
But over the last few weeks that objectiveness has literally disappeared and been replaced by outright abuse.
Within 2 minutes of today's game (2 minutes!) the so called fans around me were at it, jumping up and down abusing both the
Manager and the players, incredible. By half-time the ABUSE and that is the only way to describe it had reached fever pitch.
Surely we are there to SUPPORT the team, aren't we? I certainly am. I know this season has been frustrating and at times worse than that,
but to hear Stags' fans loudly BOO a win, a win for God sake! Some of you are wondering why our home form is so poor, seriously!
For me surely we have to get behind the team, there were fans there today, who I'm pretty sure wanted the team to get beat.
In my local after the game with a bunch of friends who had been to the game, I freely admitted we were poor and need to do better.
But to shout out the sort of ABUSE we witnessed today and indeed in previous home games is NOT SUPPORT, it is negative and bound to have an effect
on the players.
If you can't see that I seriously don't know what to say, apart from Come on You Stags!!!!
