I think forgetting about Swansea is eminently sensible for the time being.
Hopefully we can soon forget about Welling and Dartford too.

As the o p, I find it only fair to bring back the the point of the thread to original title.(no offence to anyone else posting on this thread, and much respect)
Again, I was only trying to induce positive responses to THE TEAM / SQUAD on the day, not an indictment on current encumbrance of financial investors.
Countygroundhotel.....as lovely as you are, you fail to answer questions posed to you! Why?
Boring boring boring, but where are you, coastalgas?
In this secular question.....how can any GasHead demand better in the last 3games??? Just asking, because I like your positive prediction of 4-0...

I agree with everyone who suggests we should savour the moment and enjoy the team's current success but are we using this as an excuse to retreat into our comfort zone and hide from reality ? I find all this talk of current 'success' laughable to be honest.
If we had won every game this season 55-0 taking the maximum points tally it would still constitute our worst ever season. I don't call lining up to face the likes of Altringham, Dartford and Woking week after week any sort of success, more an embarrassment.
Lets hope we can knick top spot, look back with some satisfaction on a job well done and never think of this shaming episode ever again. Some people seem to be revelling in being big fish in an even smaller pond.

so do you cheer the team on? celebrate goals? sing the songs? whats your approach on match days ? are you grim faced waiting for us to be 7th in league 1? No, I don't jump around in faux delirium when a goal is scored. To be honest, I find watching people doing that quite embarrasing and rather ridiculous. I agree with Mr Gasgroin. Leaping about as if your trousers are on fire, simply because a goal has been scored, is childish and puerile. Still, there`s nothing I can do about it.

This has got to be one of the worst threads I've read in a while, and I've had my share of them
First of all: people are free to behave as they want to in a stadium, whether it be quietly watching the game or singing any number of songs or anywhere in between. They have paid for the tickets with their own money and as such should be free of judgment as to how they behave as long as they are behaving within law and common sense rules. This, however, is not valid grounds to classify other people's behaviour as "ridiculous" or "incorrect", nor to start telling people to go support C*ty. No one is or should be like yourself.
Second: the team's success is not and should not be overshadowed by outside events, former league standings or history itself. If we are playing Conference football, then we should be proportionally happy that we're top dogs on said Conference and focus our thoughts on getting out of there by any means, then proceed on hoping for whatever is the next goal. One step at a time.
Third: this on-pitch success does not, however, give people the right to act high and mighty and start name-calling towards anyone who have expressed coherent disbelief in the team's performances OR the board's actions. It's neither your team nor the other persons', it's BRFC, and you both are part of the same fanbase. Instead of jumping on bandwagons, walk in your own f***ing shoes.
Fourth: people f***ing err. I've had my share of wrong opinions and as such I don't go around pointing fingers when things go the way I predicted, and most of you shouldn't either because it only helps on briefly satisfying your ego and does not help the club or this forum at all.
That's all.

Where to start with that. Over reaction and mock hysteria. The problem is that it's not spontanious, it's fabricated and almost required, at that point it becomes a bit silly. You are talking yourself around in circles, of course come away from today's match very pleased with yet another 3 points and only 1 point off of Barnet, also worth noting that the goal difference is down to only 5 in Barnet's favour, a few weeks ago it was so big that it was worth a point in itself. But anyone who rounds on people for questioning what the plan for sustainability is, is, I'm afraid, in total denial of the events that took us down from L1 with a whimper and left us unable to compete with Accrington Stanley on our way out of the League. Sorry - missed this 1)what is wrong with being a bit silly? (ie. why is this generally a bad thing that justifies universal disapproval rather than just something you don't like?) and 2)how on earth can you be the arbiter of where spontaneity lies and how it is expressed? You can't get inside someone's head and without that I'd have thought basic respect would assume that a reaction was genuine. I'm not criticising your right to question the club; I specifically stated I agreed with you. I am calling you on devaluing people's expressions though because I think dismissing somebody's emotional reactions as false is a pretty offensive and mean spirited thing to do. I just don't think a forum can function if people put their perspectives on a pedestal like that. So instead of it being 'I think this or this is my opinion' a personal opinion is passed off as a general good that everyone must accept as a truth or they're perspective is invalid. It's a crafty way of trying to close down argument by implying that something is a rationally accepted truth when it isn't - it's just another opinion. While obviously you don't have to give equal weight to all opinions on a forum we are ultimately all in the gutter here, there's no higher perspective to take. It's perfectly fair to say 'I don't like this and I don't understand why people react like this', 'it annoys me' etc but I think it's pretty out of order to imply this is a superior perspective and that anyone not thinking the same is irrational or false. EB used to do this on the old forum and that drove me mad too - 'my position is this and I have reached it via rational consideration so anyone that disagrees is not just wrong but their perspective must also be inferior to mine and therefore invalid'. As well as that being an arrogant overestimation of a single person's ability to rationalise, and at the same time a huge judgement on anyone else's capacity to do the same, you just can't enter into a fair discussion on those terms. It's relevant too because with RAFC people this seems to manifest itself in blaming the fans; 'damn you you bunch of apathetic b'stards this is your fault for not recognising our genius' which is ironic because it's the exact other side of the coin from the rather strange people who occasionally post on here defending the club who also lay into the fans. In both cases it's seems to me like a politician who blames the electorate for the fact people don't agree with them.

To wade in, everyone gets upset following poor performances. It's natural. We are emotional, passionate beings.
What isn't natural is what has started to become commonplace at the mem - becoming s*** heads.
Symptoms of s*** head syndrome:
- "I pay good money every week to see a load of rubbish. Winning should come as part of the ticket price"
- booing at drawing at half time, "because it's against welling/Dartford/any team we beat by 17 fans in home attendance averages"
- putting all your ills and maladjusted hatred to the current manager.
- if you lose playing long ball, we should pass more. If we pass and lose, we should be more direct. If we defend we need 5 up top. Like "we need 2 up top at home" with Ward, then " DC would have kept us up by sticking to one up top". s*** head syndrome makes you greater than Ferguson, but only with hindsight.
- picking on players, pref under 20 finding feet in game - ESPECIALLY if they try something Clever which doesn't come off. Stick to sliding tackles.
- moan and gasp in frustration at mistakes.
I am well pissed off with what has happened to some fans. Some are poisonous evil who derail any potential positivity.
We used to be die hard supporters. We are becoming the fickle fans we used to hate, just like the old city fans 80s 90s.
So, the moral imperative is on positive supporters to show the red card to moaners.
We all have opinions, as stated rightly above. However, its not all relative. There is right, and there is wrong in this world and if you don't feel strongly enough to take a side and dig in your heels for your beliefs, then this makes for one bland world.
Positivity is a good thing for football supporters. Targeting manageners etc with leaflets and moaning is a bad thing for football supporters. It isn't all relative, one is right, one is wrong.

Erm....shall we demand more, than five goals at home, over 8000 Gas, 3points and top the league, coastalgas?
All constructed from the evil mind of DC (?)
......and it's all gone quiet (again) over there..

He's nearly back home in Weston. The supporters club coach returning from Oldham is just pulling off the motorway.

Can we not stop goading one another ? Lets be honest, during this season marks the best result, and I would be interested in coastalgas comments. It's not goading, it's a forum. It's a platform for opinion. As I'm the o p of the thread (no offence and total respect to you, Bridge) I think it's a fair question: What's your opinion of Gas v Chester on Good Friday, coastalgas?
