You all know what I am about to say don't you? Well you are wrong 
Bit of a long story, but here we go.
In the late 70's...think it was early 78......just before I was 10, I went to a game at HR. It was against Liverpool. I was surrounded by Liverpool fans in a Cov end. Felt a bit strange when the game kicked off. The commentator must have forgotten to turn his mic on :thinking about: Was used to seeing the Liverpool players winning in Europe. We won 1-0. I was hooked.
As I got a bit older I went to a few more games. When I was 14 I started seeing a bird who lived opposite HR. This was good for the games. Then a couple of years later I noticed the violence. I was 16 and a bit of an idiot. Was going to away games by now. Some of them were a bit dodgy. You had to fight your way to the ground, half watching all around you for flying objects coming at you and then fight your way out again. At least it seemed like fun. And all done in the honour of your City I did over 5 seasons only missing 3 games. This included 87....and we all knew what happened then. My favourite away day ever was the QF. Then kids and shiftwork got in the way. But I have always tried to get to as many games as I can.
Then we started spending money we didn't have, but had some good players. Expected better things but was usually still in the usual relegation battles. If they had painted the Titanic sky blue it would never have sunk.......then we got relegated.
Then SISU come to save us. I felt so happy........and here we are. Division 3 to us older fans. Admin nearly every year. Playing 34 miles from our City. It is so sad. This season was going to be the one where my 3 year old started going to games. I would only do this at home games. We don't have home games now.
This has caused division with our fans I never thought would happen. We have always been a happy bunch. Looked after each other on our travels. Kept singing when getting hammered. Now we can't even agree on what is the best thing to do. Scabs go in Shitfields to watch us. Mongs stand on the hill. People that don't do either don't give a shite. Wow.........never known us to be anything like this. Our club has been divided from the City where it should play. Now the fans have been divided.
The best thing we can do is kiss and make up. We would be much stronger if we were as one. Can't see it happening though. There is too much ill feeling at the moment. All we seem to do now is insult each other and try point scoring. Someone starts it all off with lies. Next person thinks it is the truth and states it as a fact. Then people believe it as it is a fact although there is no evidence. Then the insults start. My apologies are for anyone I have insulted. My frustrations have been coming out lately. This place here is my main link to our club. I hold no grudges to anyone that have said anything to me. We are all in a bad place now.
So now it is NOPM. Not One Post More. Will be loitering on here, but have had enough. I will still see what is going on. Was desperate to make a few comments earlier....bit like a drug to me. I have noticed some posters I have met up with don't post on here anymore. I don't think I am the only one feeling like this. I am not going to any more games now until they have gone. Will use the weekends and money on my family.
So remember NOPM NOPM :wave:
