I for one will be walking out on the 55th minute today. I have seen a lot of the sentiment of "entitlement", "what will it achieve", etc.

The people saying this obviously aren't aware of why fans are so important in the modern game. We aren't supposed to just be spectators, we are stakeholders in the club.

I understand most the older gents on here saying about the 70s and early 80s etc, but I would go and see the attendances of that time and also ticket prices.

Most fans can take not winning the league if they can see a through line to progress, like with gerrard and of course gio's run to Seville. But let's all be honest here, this squad are on course to finish high twenty odd points behind our nearest rivals, that can not be allowed to happen with the amount of expenditure we still put in.

I would also say to those fans who are quick to judge the ones walking out, look at teams like Dortmund, man united, ac Milan. Being historic and previously successful does not mean it's going to happen again, in the past 10 years, those 3 clubs and rangers have managed a total of 2 league titles out a possible 40.

If you are happy with a few cups every now and then, and maybe a league every 6/ 7 years, more power to you.

Your post tells me you are a supporter is of an age that is post-sourness so you were lucky enough to be around when we were throwing money we didn't have at success. that cause dis to become bankrupt and if we kept throwing money at this again then the same thing would happen. therefore we need to be sustainable and that will take a little longer to achieve but I feel that whoever is the manager it will lead to a consistently competitive team. Those clubs you mention have achieved little recently as all they have done is try to throw more money at it and regularly change their manager so you are in fact arguing for the process we are going through.
but your choice and make sure to give me a wave on the way out as I will stay and support the team to the last minute as especially now they need the support to help instil that lost confidence.

why turn up to just leave half way thru makes no sense at all.

12 Jan 2025 12:21:22
I'll be joining you davo, fans have sat back and voiced concerns and they have came to nothing, not just this season but seasons gone by we are sick and tired and being treated like cash cows while the pathetic money grabbing board milk is out of pound and penny. Time for action is now.

12 Jan 2025 12:24:43
Poor take. There's blatant improvement in the squad. There's just no depth and still and abundance of wage thieves from previous regimes. We're 2nd so clearly we're better than these teams we struggle against.

You guys just don't get it, unless we're bought there's no money, we have to make our own money now, that infrastructure is being laid, it will not be instant. Hopefully we're competing with them better after these 2 windows.

There is no instant path to success, the board undoubtedly fumbled after 55 however they also spent well beyond our means to get there. Like it or not we were going to end up bust again hurling money into a black hole.

This is the only way. Steps are clearly being taken. Trust the process.

Me to davo.

How is walking out today going to stop us finishing 20+ points behind? If it’s tight today when people leave, do you think that will help or hinder the team to avoid dropping points? Very confused justification for walking out.

12 Jan 2025 13:00:00
Rabbi you lost me in your 1st sentence "there's blatant improvement" just one question mate, where?

12 Jan 2025 13:01:21
Will you be wearing all black fake clothing and waving wee sparklers to copy the fuds in the Copland as well?

12 Jan 2025 13:02:33
Davo do what you like, but today those criticising the walkout don't understand the importance of fans is very naïve. Of course they do and that is why they are choosing to stay and support the team.

Try reading the words above of the great Bill Struth and see if it means anything to you. Those are the principals our great club are built on and we will be back.

walking out is not the answer hit them were it hurts stop buying merchandise.

12 Jan 2025 13:15:01
Perfectly entitled to walk out if you don`t like the football or disagree with the way the club is being run but stakeholders, don`t make me laugh.
These guys you want out have invested a fortune of their own money to rescue the club and keep it afloat . From what I understand Bennett alone is owed about £20 million and that is just to give us the bits of success we have had.

They have done this while the stakeholders you talk about moan about the ticket prices going up and moan if the strip prices go up, that's maybe an extra tenner but expect the board to invest their own millions. Where do you think the money comes from . You have a choice not to buy, do they have a choice now? If there are rich millionaires out there who want to buy the club they should sell up but at the moment there aren`t as far as I am aware.

Everyone has the right to do what they want but answer me this for the guys that choose to walk out, what do you think it will achieve ? Just don't bother going i'd think if you feel that way ?.

12 Jan 2025 13:39:59
Cheers??.

12 Jan 2025 14:09:51
I respect any fans decision to stay or walk out the amount of bs getting posted by both sides is unbelievable. Doesn't make anyone less or more of a supporter.

King and Ulster. Home form is much improved from last season 2.8PPG rather than just over 2.5PPG. European results the same at 1.83PPG but the opposition are of a higher quality. so there is the improvement and with a team where we have got rid of a lot of our experienced high earners and replaced them with younger players on less wages. the downside is that away form is worse and the confidence and mentality in the younger team without the experience to drag us through isn't there. If we can get a few results away from home whilst keeping home form at same level then we won't be having this conversation.

UB are indefensible, pyro, fighting, club fined, asked to refrain from pyro/ dodgy songs at the request of the board, ignored, hope the board ignore them the way they ignored various requests to be responsible. Not bs if its true.
