To those fair weather supporters who called for the sacking of everyone from the club's owner to the club cat around Christmas. Where was your loyalty when the going got tough? Shouldn't we be having an apology - shouldn't you be tucking into a bit of humble -pie?
No. Given the emotions involved in supporting your team, negative reactions to our crapness at that time were understandable. We should rejoice in celebrating the team's magnificent achievements and forget the bad times. In the future, there'll be more bad times, and more good times. You can't blame people for getting down in the bad times, and you can't blame people for being on cloud nine in the good times. It's football. Just enjoy it.
After having our best season for 20 years, not position wise but what we have achieved shouldn't we all be as one and be having a brilliant summer break? We can start all the bitching once we're sh*t again in September.
Loyalty, LOYALTY,,,,, how on earth can we discuss loyalty on this BBS. Didn't we ban Thereev and Dr Zazlos. #oneofourown , well two actually.
Most of those wanting folks sacked were still attending games and not happy, so hardly fair weather supporters. Still you must have been right so I say we all have a minutes applause for you first home game of next season. i-0 to you on the points scoring front. WELL DONE that man.
Some of those fair weather supporters as you describe them are season ticket holders and don't miss many games. The reaction to the performances and results in November / December were emotional and as such were understandable and justifiable. The fact that many of us continued to go despite losing every week and producing sleep inducing performances shows that the loyalty never went away. Are you just going out of your way to be provocative or are you trying to claim the crown of being the best fan.
Bang on. Some of us during that disaster of a run still went to Coventry on a Tuesday night without a thought or even prayer of getting anything. I have openly stated I wasn't a PC fan over the years. I can only praise at the minute and have done. I just hope the momentum and good feeling can continue as we have a big summer ahead of us. Praying that we can keep most of the side together (or who hecky wants)
If we can't, as fans, enjoy the results, performances, the Wembley visits & victories and promotion from the past six months, without finding the need to point score against other supporters, then we never will. Personally, I'm still on a high and intend to enjoy it for as long as I possibly can.
Not sure loyalty comes into it, although there has been a noticeable lack of contrition in some circles.

Two good examples, but as I said earlier, that's football. I was as guilty as anyone else at that time, I thought we were garbage, and the results seemed to confirm that. We should just enjoy things at the moment and move on and see what happens next season.
