This is a subject which requires a lot of live-and-let live. No side is right or wrong. There is no way that any fan who is supporting the club should be treated like some kind of scab in a strike situation. Supporting the club is after all what supporters do. But equally, those fans who continue to go have no right to talk down to those fans who are not going.
I'm leaning towards the latter group, because I believe in justice, and my power as a customer: the only way I can register my anger is by not going. And sure I'm just one man, it makes no difference, right?-but bear in mind that if you think that way, you don't have much faith in Democracy and just what people power can achieve! What I want those fans who are still going to remember is that the sacrifice for us to not go is a great one: it's a decision that isn't taken lightly, involves much soul-searching, and is a measure only taken in desperation. And because I'm hurt and angry at what has been done to the club I love-and the continuing disgraceful behaviour of owners without a moral or ethical bone in their bodies. That we make that sacrifice not to go doesn't in any way make us "better"-but neither does it make us any lesser as fans. It's our passion that drives us to take a stand, much as yours drives you to keep going regardless.
As for the "I've supported them longer than you, nah-nah-nah nah-nah" crap;-well that is just a pathetic exercise akin to comparing penis sizes.
