During the Docherty, Robson or Todd eras I could have some sympathy to this kind of reaction.But for a team who’d started the season so well, who were these boo boys? For me, the positive aspects of offering cheap season tickets to fans far outweigh the negative aspects. BUT there are negative aspects. Just as our heady premiership days attracted the fair-weather fan to VP. The fan who looks for the results of Manchester United, Liverpool or dare I say it L**ds before checking to see how City have faired. So does the incentive of being able to attend your local team’s home games for next to nothing.Granted, leading up to half-time we were losing and playing poorly.

But this breed of football fan, fuelled by the ‘we want success, we want it now’ mentality of recent years, does not seem to have the patience to support a team when things aren’t going according to plan. Those fans brought up on a strict diet of Soccer AM and Pro evolution football aren’t attuned to the lulls in a 90 minute game, the scrappy periods, the bits when you can usually get off the sofa and grab yourself another beer or alcopop.

This is further compounded by perceived notion that all today’s players live the playboy lifestyle, even those in the old division 4. They don’t really care about the fans, as long as those bloated pay cheques rolling each month. We may be top of the league, but I won’t be surprised in the slightest to hear that smattering of boos against Bournemouth if ‘High-flying Bradford’ aren’t ahead come 3:50 next Saturday afternoon.
