That is your right. I disagree, but it's your money.

Snipe... I thought you had heard who might be coming.

It's not about the money, it's about me deciding I no longer wish to invest my time there. It's sad, but ultimately it's only sport

Re: I'm out
You are right, Non, it is only sport and, by definition, sport is meaningless. But music is only sounds and flags are only designs on bits of cloth - also meaningless. We choose to give meaning to these things. Funny old Province we live in.nonplussed wrote:It's not about the money, it's about me deciding I no longer wish to invest my time there.

Re: I'm out
Being a fan is about sticking it out through thick and thin laddie. We've had a couple of super seasons recently albeit with some massive lows come the business end. At around 200 notes I thought a season ticket on the terraces was pretty good value and Friday nights are a great way to finish a tough week at work but of course everyone has different priorities. I preferred to go to the games than have sky tv for example.
Climb up onto the top of your house and start screaming: 'stand up for the Ulstermen, stand.......'

Re: I'm out
Maybe this is a bit nieve, and certainly I hate all the recent UR flannel, but I still enjoy friday nights. Even when the rugby stinks it's still about having a shout and a gurn and a bit of banter.
I can see if anyone has lost that how it might not be much fun, but you still might have to put a bit of effort in sometimes?

Never wrestle with a pig. You end up covered in muck and the pig loves it.

Effort can only go for so long, as I said before I may still go to the occasional game but my calendar will no longer have every game etched in it. Life's to short to partake in something you no longer enjoy
My need for a rugby fix is more satisfied by coaching kids an involvement at my local club

Re: I'm out
I get the impression it is not the lack of success that is turning people off; but the lack of application combined with the increasingly sterile atmosphere at the game.
Re: I'm out
we've been gash in the past but then expectation was low and we were underfunded, having to do with garbage signings, now we've high expectations, loads of money supposedly and still making do with garbage signings, will renew but i'll hold off till the last minute but like many for the first time I'm not enjoying the whole experience though if the on field offerings were as good as Leicester at home I would put up with the off field rubbish.BR wrote:I get the impression it is not the lack of success that is turning people off; but the lack of application combined with the increasingly sterile atmosphere at the game.

On the up-side, and I know one swally does not a summer make, the stout may have improved.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
