The Voice of the Thorpe Area

1 thing I just don't understand...

Recommended Posts

Is how players and managers can think that we must go to games and sing and cheer all the time. It is beyond me completely. When you have a team such as Norwich, with so many good players, a team that should be so much higher in the table, and we end up below teams such as Luton and Coventry (no disrespect intended), when some of the performances have been as bad as they have, and the whole cub expects fans to keep paying for the tickets, for the travel expences, and to keep singing for 90 minutes.

On the subject of booing the team, I don''t see any reason why not. Some people say it won''t help the players, well us singing our hearts out for 90 minutes obviously doesn''t work, perhaps a few boos will put a rocket up their backsides.

Some of you may disagree with what I''ve said, quite frankly I don''t care, that''s my opinion, and if after 60 or 70 minutes or playing really bad and not winning, I will make my feelings known, as I hope alot of other fans will as well.

Good effort, I would have more patience with a lot of the ''club'' reasoning if it were some months ago when we started being a bit rubbish, not now though when we have developed this to an almost expected performance.

Confidence is a difficult thing but it works both ways, the players can give us more to sing about and we could do likewise, however it isn''t as though we boo or show dissaproval from the start of the game. We get behind our team from the off (BRIGHTON ASIDE) and it is when the performance remains low on the pitch that fans vent their anger and rightly so.

This is an entertainment sport and we all sign up for it with our eyes wide open.

I agree "voice of the Thorpe area" Booing is a good way of expressing dissapointment in the teams sickening performance ! Maybe one of us needs to up it and go for the mad approach of that middlesborough fan - when he chucked his season ticket at steve mclaren !

I totally agree, i don''t see a problem with booing a team, at the end of the day, we pay to be entertained and see effort, and if they are payed good money, they should expect some stick if they dont perform, i will happily swap places with them if they dont like it!

I dont like booing the team but at the moment it looks like the only way to get the message thru...  Im sure some hardcore nutters will boo so i don''t have too.

In the end When worthy was blackpool boss he needed a police escort from the ground during the last month of his tenure so he won''t go easily...

This does seem to be a recurring theme amongst the hardcore WO crew.Many seem to have essentially a commercial/contractual relationship with the club: I pay my money, entertain me. If I don''t like what I see I''ll complain.Of course this is an entirely appropriate relationship with a circus, or a theatre, or a cinema, but it''s not the way I feel about my football club.Maybe I''m just not demanding enough, but I would much prefer it if these people would simply withold their custom entirely, rather than acting in ways that damages the enjoyment and support of others (e.g. booing).

i dont have a season ticket as im 16 and live in london but i would be willing to throw anyones season ticket at nigel worthington and then get it back after wards. 
or maybe the ticket should be burned in front of him as that would have more affect.
