  1. I know, that’s why it’s ridiculous!
  2. Yes but there are 11 teams below us and 9 of them would need to make up that gap. I think we’ll be fine.
  3. Nah. I’ve been making similar arguments to this for a while but today was a turning point for me. It was simply unacceptable. He’s also incredibly uninspiring. He needs to go.
  4. Even so, loads of gaps all afternoon in a sold out stand. They’re the cheapest tickets in the stadium but rarely available, it’s annoying. (Aside from the fact that I wouldn’t actually want to pay anything right now)
  5. Give up the predictions. Manning is failing, but who predicted we’d beat Boro and Southampton and then lose three in a row to QPR, Wednesday and Cardiff? It just doesn’t ever go like we expect it to in the Championship.
  6. That announced attendance is an absolute joke.
  7. So what’s the excuse for this today then? Weekend fixture, fairly big game, loads of youth football cancelled so you’d think if the kids are ever going to come, it would be today. Is it just that we’re crap? Because we’ve been crap plenty of times before and not seen it that empty. Don’t get it.
  8. I’m a member not a STH. Absolutely zero motivation to part with my money at the moment.
  9. “The impressive cup run”. We got through one round.
  10. Without a doubt the anger should be mostly directed at the board. But they all need to go, Manning included.
  11. Yep. Shite. No point getting excited about the good wins because a crap defeat is only just around the corner. The good wins are starting to look like they happened despite Manning, not because of him. If you can’t get the team performing to a consistent standard, then you’re failing.
  12. Take away Tinnion’s time as a club legend on the pitch and you’re left with a thick sounding bloke with nothing interesting to say, no leadership skills whatsoever, and a terrible managerial record. He shouldn’t be anywhere near running the club.
  13. Correction. Tinnion and Jon Lansdown have. Manning has just helped a bit.
  14. Utter shite. How do we go from Southampton to three straight defeats against poor teams? I try to be pragmatic and say Manning needs time, but that’s inexcusable. He can go.
  15. Hang on, wait. I’ve been watching this for 40 years. Are you saying we’ve only got 3 more years left? BRILLIANT! I was wondering how much longer.
  16. Cheers. Not a fan of commentators using nicknames!
  17. I see we have already reached the stage where we are shoehorning in criticism of Manning into every discussion point. How long until Gaza is his fault?
  18. Robins TV calling Ng “N.G.”. Surely that’s not how you say it?!
  19. You might be right. I was only a teenager then so don’t particularly remember anything prior to the 2003 play off games, which certainly were big - but then any play off game would be. I was in the home end for the first leg! But certainly in more recent times, it doesn’t seem to match the hype. The games don’t sell out at either stadium. In reality, the Swansea game matters a lot more to them and a Rovers game would matter a lot more to us. If we were playing them today, the atmosphere would be a world apart from this.
  20. The amount of empty seats in the sold out South Stand today is just ridiculous. Cheapest seats in the ground, rarely available to members or infrequent attendees. Club need to do something about it.
  21. It’s always been overhyped as a derby I think. The fact that the fixture almost never sells out tells you how much it really matters.
  22. £160 is crazy, I had no idea it was that much. That feels like a bit of a piss take! Agree Fry’s pitches are lovely, my lad played there back in the autumn and they were like bowling greens. I also remember that day because I had a complete brain fart and absentmindedly walked across the middle of another pitch while there was a game in progress!
