Alienation of traditional fan base.

"I hate that it's made the tense relationship between MyFC and local supporters even more strained."

 

It has. Big step back yesterday. Some of the more reasoned members of both sides made a big contribution yesterday. But the fact that a minor incident divided people on 'tribal' lines is worrying.

The people that are making the most noise about this weren't there.

I was there - the guy behaved like a dickhead.

 

No manner of apologies, however contrite they seem, will erase the fact that it happened.

 

The relationship between old fans and myfc is balanced on a knife edge at the best of times and it only takes one incident or gormless comment to kick it off again.

 

Most worrying is that people seemingly with power on the myfc forum find it amusing that someone entered the field of play.

 

At least this incident has brought a welcome change with a discussion of vaguely relevant topics as opposed to the recent tripe we have had to endure.

Oh come on now Jimmy. We all know you love tripe.

RS - knew there was a logical explanation - didn't seem your style . No worries .

Unc - sorry to have won gold at your expense , compadre - we don't need no stinking badges ! Man flu gives you more time at the screen , n'est pas ? Courage , mon brave !
