Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

I think we called in our hours on the Friday and if it wasn't done by 130 then you weren't popular. Quite a few boys did nothing on Fridays, it was quite remarkable compared to how hard I had to work with previous employers.

Can I send you a copy of my cv?

By all means, I could use a laugh.

I was recently reading the thread about how many grounds you have visited.

I'm annoyed by the fact that adults who have been following their team for years have only been to a handful of grounds. Even for a team who has been in the same division for years must have played at 20+ grounds. Why would you never go away games? It just seems mental

I find that strange. I don't go away to as many games as I used to, and avoid going to Inverness and Dingwall due to the travel and Celtic park for obvious reasons. However I have been at all three on numberous occasions. Nonetheless over a 20 year period most supporters would surely have visited all grounds in their own division(s) and a fair few outwith due to cup games.

However football fans are strange. I have a ST for Tannadice and there's a three generation set (grandfather, father, son) sit near me who are the least enthusiastic supporters imaginable. I can't work out why they go to the games.

I probably fall into the 'least enthusiastic' category. I go because I feel compelled to go because I have to. I go because there's the odd moment of joy amongst the absolute pish.

I often leave if it's a poor game or if we're losing heavily. I left during the first half against Stranraer.

I presume you wouldnt leave early if its an away game?

Under John Coughlin we played 100+ games and only ever conceded the first goal but came from behind to win once. That was away a Albion Rovers. I left after 35 minutes, about 5 mins after they scored.

I've left away games before half time on a few occasions, sometimes I've been on the supporters bus and so gone for a walk or a pint, sometimes I've just driven home if I have the car. I know we play at a fairly low level but the games are often entertaining in their own way. When I'm simply not getting any enjoyment (have stayed til the end in 5,6,7- nil defeats) I just leave.

What's the point in staying? Is there a belief it makes you a better fan?

I'm not bothered how I'm perceived. Most Stenny fans around me know I sometimes leave early and I'm not too fussed what they think. I'll continue to buy a season ticket to give the club money despite the fact it isn't value for money for me to do so.

I think part of it comes from us just being awful. Most fans see the odd league win in amongst the rubbish. We've not won a league title in our history and our best finish in the last 15 years is 3rd out of 10 teams.
