The Leicester match was the complete pits with Leicester doing a fair imitation of a well organised pub team,a ref prepared to blow the whistle at the slightest contact and an inept Wolves without the whit to do anything about it.
It was summed up perfectly by ex season ticket holder Jo, there for her first match to see if she had made a mistake in not renewing. There was compete bored silence around the ground at the end when the tannoy announced "Today's attendancewas 24,726". Jo's voice rang out in the Billy Quiet load and clear " And everyone a sucker"

The attendance that was jeered by the Leicester fans, despite being higher than their highest gate this season.
Was this a rare moment of East Midlands irony?smileys/smiley2.gif
Poole,
I love correcting spelling and grammar errors! Whit is now known as Spring Bank Holiday and wit is what we lack. We are at our wit's end.
Edit. Damn, I made a spelling mistake. smileys/smiley36.gif Edited by: I.D.

I felt sorry for the 2 guys sitting behind me in the Steve Bull stand, they had driven from cumbria and set out at 8am to watch that. Oh well, at least they had a chance to have a sleep before their drive home!

Four of us traveled up from Essex for yesterdays game and although not having to leave as early as the chaps from Cumbria it is still a long day. I sadly feel afer yesterdays efforts there will be fewer of us travelling soon such was he general feeling of apathy after the game.

I have to admire all of the fans that travel so far for a home game. I only have to travel about 6 miles but after Tuesdays game I was seriously considering not going to yesterdays game, even though I have a season ticket. Ican't ever remember thinking that about going to watch Wolves before.

As a former member of Plymouth Wolves I know that the guys still come up for every home game, I lasted 10 years doing that journey, some have been doing it nearly double that...450 mile round trip and an 8am start, midweek games are a 'mare and early kick-offs just pants...not that supporters are ever considered when that happens.
The worst is after a result like that you have to drive home for 3 to 4 hours (when there are roadworks that can put a lot more on it) and all you want to do is get back and try to forget what you have witnessed.
I have known the 4 or 5 of us in the car not speak until Bristol because we have been so p*55ed off.
Now I do a mere 110 mile round trip (still takes me about one and a half hours each way)...when you have that much time to reflect it does make you wonder why you put in so much effort whilst those paid £10K a week cannot be bothered.
I love the club and that is why I go....I have no loyalty to the players unless they show some sort of commitment to the shirt (e.g. Bully and recently Ince to name a few)...same goes for the board, some are Wolves fans and are committed, others there for the money...why should I have any loyalty to them...paid employees to do a job, if they are not up to scratch then they should go.

GREAT POST DAVE
Supporters support because it is their choice, you cannot expect the heirachy at the club to feel that you are special, they just look at profit and loss.
The problem for them comes when they $$$$ you off so much that you wont come back, this is the fine line that they walk. At the moment i guess they are thrashing around like a fish on the riverbank.......maybe we will play the liquidator, or get woolfie to have a fight with foxie.
Passionate fans are the life blood of a club, you would expect that they would be considered, sadly passion is now spelt PA££ion
