Men don't boo. Pathetic behaviour, that really baffles me. If you against all reason need to boo, then reserve it for Leeds, Bradford and the occasional player you love to hate, not your own team ffs

If fans had booed in the Cowshed, they would have got filled in. We dont need them, and i would rather have 7,000 fans who get behind the team, than these mostly part timers.

What about booing at the end?
I agree with you about singling players out etc. but I feel that it's acceptable to boo the team off at the end of the game if the performance has been lacklustre.

I agree - booing the performance at the end is acceptable if it is dire, but not singling out one person during or afterwards! |

If we lose having put 100% in and have had a genuine go, then fair enough, booing is uncalled for. Performances like yesterday, Tranmere and Darlington deserved to be booed. |

I don't boo myself but when they ask us to support the team and they respond by playing C**P football what do you expect, they deserved to be booe'd yesterday no excuse. How else are you going to protest, not turn up for a game they won't care because if you are a season ticket holder they have your money already but if your not then they won't loose out anyway

So here's the question.... how can we change the booing culture  Club campaign Supporters groups giving a positive message let's have some proactive ideas.... (btw: playing decent football is not an option under current circumstances) |

That IMO is at least understandable, and while I didnt do it myself on Sat, neither did I give them a clap at the end. And it was the type of TEAM performance which could be argued deserved the booing. However, the booing of individual players during the match, or even simply as their name is announced, is another matter. Other than the philosophical right to free speech and expression issue, this is the most idiotic, emotionally stunted, brainless, spineless, thoughtless nonsense that can be imagined. Just fail to comprehend the morons that engage in this activity. |

It's nuts isn't it? Why some fans concentrate their efforts on making it unpleasant for their own team is bizzare. We should be making it an unpleasant place to play for th OTHER team.

Some fans seem to think that without their pointless booing input the empty headed players won't realise they haven't had such a great game.
Booing for a draw is a new one though. As is calling for the manager's head when you've just gained points in 4 of the last 5 league games, with the one you didn't being top of the league.

As is calling for the manager's head when you've just gained points in 4 of the last 5 league games, with the one you didn't being top of the league. It was a draw we didn't deserve. As I said above, I'd applaud the team off if we played with 100% effort, had a decent game, but we still ended up losing. Fact is, not all of the side played with any great enthusiasm and we only had one shot on target, which was a well converted goal but wasn't a clear cut chance by any means, the only decent chance we created was that header from Jones in the first half. I still think Ternent needs time so I don't want to defend the second point, but saying we took points in 4 out of 5 games glosses over it only being 8 points from 15. That's not particularly great on its own, and isn't anything to shout about when it contributes to us having taken 13 points from a possible 33. |

All the 'loyal fans' want is commitment and passion. There isn't and should never be anything that stops fans expressing their opinion, something that the majority of this country don't do. If you think someone isn't good enough, let them know. Don't be part of the 'meek', say it how it is.
If your Wife/Husband does something wrong or something you don't agree with you don't praise them, you tell them straight, the players don't listen to individual fans so booing is the only way 'disgust' is expressed.

If your wife doesn't cook your sausages to your liking do you stand in the kitchen and boo her? Didn't think so, my bet is that most husbands would find themselves wearing the frying pan if that was the case  Maybe all of those that aren't satisfied should queue up after a game and have a quiet word with the players and break it to them gently that you're disappointed with their performance. Booing at the end of a game is perfectly legitimate. Maybe it gives a harsh impression, but it's the only way to register your disapproval. |

But your wife burning your sausages and a player not performing isn't really on the same scale is it, even in comparative terms. |

Frenchie of Durham speaking;-
What a bunch of namby pamby, wishy washy, "Town are the greatest and I'll love 'em forever" wimps you are!! As far as I'm concerned, if I make the effort to go to a game and they make no effort to please me, I'll boo them. After a performance like Saturday and that debacle at Darlington I think anyone who stands and applauds them off needs brain surgery.
If they don't like being booed, they know what to do. Here's hoping for a boo free evening at Hartlepool.
Cheers!
