The Prem clubs are going to vote on it. When are clubs like Coventry, and us, going to get a vote on having to encounter VAR on some of our matches? Nothing stopping us or anyone else tabling a motion like Wolves have, but dont let that stop you playing the victim as usual - embarrassing the chip some have on their shoulder

I was under the impression that if you posted rumours of this nature your posts would be deleted, people who asked where they’d gone would also get their posts deleted, and you’d be harassed relentlessly by someone who posts 750 times a day.

I renewed with a great deal of reticence. Will continue to support the Town but reserve the right to be as critical as I like. A shame to see loyal fans like Floreat and Venceremos (and there will be others) not renewing but completely understandable, hopefully we see a change soon that tempts you back. what does 'loyal' actually mean ?

Whilst technically not in the ground, the best place to get a beer is in Smithy's, still makes me laugh seeing people in a massive queue in a cold concourse when they can just walk around the corner and have a drink in an actual bar. I tried to do this. But the stewards closed access from south stand to west stand. Shame. Had to queue haha The main gates are open in the south stand at half time, you can go where you like 👍

Good question. A Labrador is supposed to be a loyal dog, but if anyone shows up with biscuits that loyalty is straight out of the window. From a footballing point of view I would imagine that being loyal would mean supporting your team through thick and thin. Loyalty doesn't mean you don't have the right to be critical though. Wanting the best for what you're loyal to is more important IMO.

Given the choice of happy clapper supporters who back the club 100% regardless of what they are doing, or fans who criticise, question and challenge the club because they want to see progress, well I'd take the latter every time.

( as in loyal supporter ) 😝 Someone who gives their support to a person or organisation either financially, physically or morally. I know you're only trying to get a rise out of people, but no-one is getting wound up this time. Have you ever been in any way critical of any player, manager, decision of the board or any other aspect of the club? Did that mean that you were being disloyal or lacking in support? Or were you doing so because you care about the club and want it to succeed?

I think a change of ownership would reignite a great deal of excitement among the fans. Lettuce get on with if it's going to happen.

For goodness sake. A decent thread has yet again descended into point scoring trivia. Honestly there are far more important issues in life.
I would say it’s a shame longstanding (or sitting!) supporters haven’t renewed which in my mind are supporters who have been going for years and years.
People can disagree with me or not I really don’t care.

I asked a simple question. "what is a loyal supporter"
touchy subject apparently , ( emergency cobra meeting was called) ;-)
what are happy clappers ? what are cheerleaders ?
are they not loyal supporters ? surely they easily fit into that category
I consider myself a loyal supporter, but instead get labelled a happy clapper or a cheerleader
I often wonder how I can become more loyal supporter, maybe if I attended more away games ?
then again maybe if I started to slag the club off and stopped going, that would gain me the title 'loyal supporter'

No-one is getting pi**y with anyone except you.
No-one is asking anyone else to slag off the club or stop going.
Nearly everyone on here and thousands more besides have been going to see Shrewsbury Town for years or in many cases decades. None of them is disloyal for slagging off a particular player occasionally, just as none are disloyal for questioning the future of the club. Many if not most of us on here still turn up, either once or twice a season, 100% home and away or somewhere in between. None are more or less loyal than any other, as we all have commitments we need to work around and finances we need to keep under control.
Most of us on here want the same thing, a successful football club to support. How that is achieved over the coming years is up for debate. Some will see one way forward, others will see a different route. None of us has any say on what happens in regards to that, so why not just agree to differ and get on with supporting the club we all love.

Youve helped me make my point , no one is more or less loyal than anyone else , which is why I led someone into the debate knowing they would mention those words happy clapper and cheerleader , maybe they get my point now 👍

All those ‘we don’t need fans like you’, ‘go and support another team’, and heaven forbid ‘anti-town fan’ must've all been figments of my imagination then…
At least we know now it was all b******s.
