Those of you who know me away from this blog will know one of my passions in life is football, and particularly Stockport County f.c. A team with a great history (ok not that great!) and a passionate bunch of fans.
One of those fans is my friend, my right hand man, my son! As passionate as older, more seasoned fans, in his young years, 15 now of which this is his sixth season as a season ticket holder.
But that day has come, for the first time i can remember, he has chosen to spend Saturday afternoon visiting family instead of joining me in the lower tier of the Cheadle end, with the even more heart wrenching words of
"Im not gonna go stockport, {removed for privacy}... plus we'll lose anyway, whats the point?"
He has been through the lows of relegation twice in recent times, plus a relegation battle last year, and after Wednesdays performance, he can't take any more, giving his enthusiasm for a team heading into the abyss.
I won't point fingers at the players, we do have some good ones and it's a young team. Nor will i blame the manager. I just hope that someone in the club will read this post and relay it to the team, to make them realise how much hurt they are causing to those with passion for a club we are regularly ridiculed for following.
Rant over, bring on Saturday and those 3 points i know we will get!
