Yet again I am disappointed by the supporters club notes this week. Time after time, this article has come across with a condescening undertone, a holier than thou attitude towards the work they do aswell as unnecessary drivel dressed up by limited knowledge of football.. If it represents the the views of the 'official' supporters club, what does that make everyone else, unnoffical supporters?
Now Im not for one minute belittling the work the supporters club do, but they are not the only ones who contribute to the club, who go to games, buy lotto tickets, and generally just support the club.
This week the writer of the piece highlighted the pity we do not have genuine supporters to travel to every away game, this I felt suggested because people are not able to travel up to Balleybofey on a saturday night, they were not 'genuine' supporters..I for one was not able to make the journey, and im sure there were others in a similiar situation, but I would consider myself a genuine supporter, who would follow the team wherever and whenever possible. In the past, the writer has hit out at section O and some of the efforts that were made (both successful and unsuccessful) at increasing support and bettering the general atmosphere at games which at the time was slightly disheartening. We were mimicked by those 'official' supporters who have done little in terms of creating a decent and prolonged atmosphere at games in recent seasons.
I dont mean to offend, but its something which I felt had to be said.
