I don't disagree with you entirely but I think people do get a little bit over sensitive about these things. You are kidding yourself if you don't think its a product.Your nostalgic memories of football (I have many too) count for very little at a board meeting I can asure you.You are right about it killing something but its not the game.Its the emotional attachment that suffers.This emotional attachment isn't as good a thing as you might think and it is over egged.Look how enraged people get on a forum about what they already know is a struggling 4th rate football club.Mortally wounded some of ya as soon as any new idea surfaces.I wish football was like when I was a kid,****** all to get in,players smoking fags at half time and the crowd all kicking shit out of each other on the way out.Great days but really was it that great ? er.....NO ! Nothing but poor football is killing our club.The knock on is that a lot of us find it a chore to turn up when we are on such a crappy streak and therefore nothing will change until things get better.3 or 4 wins on the trot we'll all be happy again.Fickle I think they call it. Little clubs wanting to be bigger ones have to adapt to the surroundings that means becoming a brand and losing the dinosaurs and old fashioned mentality(Little club syndrome).Our problem is we're losing the new fans we tried so hard to caopture and trying to appease the dinosaurs which to a degree I probably am as well.Dagger Steve wrote:
Although no one can really question your commitment, the "football is a product" stuff is bollocks and the type of talk that is killing the game. Ever since Sky came on the scene the whole thing has just become about business and money.
It's not like any other form of entertainment and can't be compared to it. It's unique. You go to see a shit film you forget about it an hour later. Whereas most football fans have a long emotional attachment to their teams, and don't see it as a "product" but a culture, part of their life. Somethimes a small part, sometimes a big part.
I'm not disagreeing that a change needs to happen at our club, it's currently dire at the moment. Just that maybe I feel I have to much much emotional investment in it, unlike trying a different type of baked beans one weekend because the product has become poor.

Not that I want to spoil DS92 and Woodford's fun, but their posts are so obviously dripping in irony.
I've been enjoying them anyway.

You don't to a college for this. You have to learn it on the terraces.matt_drfc wrote:Woodford keeps messing up the quote tweets, don't they teach you this in casual college?
Would love to sit down and discuss this, think we could strike up a deal.Dagger Steve wrote:The Inter Dagenham Firm have never, and will never, be imaginary.
