Cheers fellows, 'lurker' sounds a bit sinister bench, but i've been called worse!
Must have been reading everyones views for about 6 months, its a broad church innit?!
It was mainly because where i live, believe it or not bwfc is not the hot topic of conversation on a sat night out. Mainly L'pool & Utd (non praticising!) fans, so its good to get home from a match and see if others had seen the sort of game i had.
It seems to me having read quite a few posts that most whites are currently grappling with the dilemma of on the one hand, having the most consistently successful team in living memory (mine anyway) and on the other, not being royally entertained. I understand that season ticket numbers are down on last year.
It is a difficult one for Allardyce, when you take a step back everyone must acknowledge what he has done for the club and where he has taken us from his first game in charge (mid table 1st div v crewe if memory serves). Personally i feel that this is the summer when the board have to back him with serious money. I just think that a couple of big name signings are required to placate fans who are understandably reluctant to part with a lot of money, and for season ticket holders who have already renewed to see that the club has got the necessary ambition. We cant expect BSA to keep pulling signings like faye and TBH out of thin air, so without doing a leeds, its time to loosen the purse strings (apologises for cliche!)
Anyways thanks for being such a welcoming lot.
