I'm not saying you can't have an opinion, of course you can. I'm saying that you don't seem to care about the team unless they finish 1st. IMO that isn't right, you should support them no matter where they finish in the league and no matter how many wins or losses they have in a season. . Are you saying that to be a supporter and to care about your club you should follow it blindly, defend every decision it makes no matter how poor, be happy with losing and delighted at failing to retain your title? No, I'm saying look at the positive side. Ok they might not win the league, but they may very well finish 2nd, which IMO is a lot better than any place below 2nd. It sounds to me that a true fan to you is a happy clapper and you look down on others fans with disdain becuase you feel that you are a superior fan? Perhaps your £15 is a better £15 than mine? Jeser Petus  Of course I don't think that! I just don't think fans should expect the same result every single season when all teams in the league are completey different from the previous season. Perhaps you should respect the fact that people feel differently about certain things and respect their right to do so. I'm sure you wouldn't be overly happy if I started to tell you how to feel!? I do respect that other people have their own opinions (as I've already stated in this thread) You have a right to voice your opinion, and I have a right to reply to that with my own opinion. I'm not trying to tell you how to feel. I think that considering the team we have (and the players that left after last season), Blaze have done very well this season, and IMO I would think a lot of fans would be happy with that (certainly a lot happier than if we finished 10th)  Whatever, this is a pointless argument and I can't be bothered. I'm happy with finishing in the top 4th, you're not happy with anything other 1st. And I've got more important things to worry about. |

I have to agree with both of you! We are currently 3rd in the league and the have the capability of being second by the end of the season, if not top (mathematically possible). This is our second season following the blaze and we love it. We should be cheering the guys on every week and your right, something brings us back week after week! We have to be positive, believe the guys will do the best they can and stop this OH THE SEASON IS RUBBISH IF WE DON'T GET ANY TROPHIES! ITS CRAP! There are many other teams in the league that would give their right arms to be in our position right now! We have an excellent fan base (give or take a few moaners who only see the bad in the team!) poor Hull, bless um! when we went there a few weeks ago they were lucky if there was a few hundred fans in there rink! We have more season ticket holders than that!!!! Big up the guys, get behind them to the end of the season!!!! see what happens!!!  |

Someone made a point a few posts back about the league effectively being a league of 4, which I must agree with. You can't really compare any of the bottom 6 teams as it isn't a level playing field. so in a minute selection you have to aim for top and be disappointed finishing anywhere else. losing mentalities are notoriously difficult to get rid of.
