Hear you and relate to this. I've never taken a conscious year out but have had to step back a bit sometimes. Some of what you're saying about the general match day vibe can make it hard. I remember around the Clotet era when Eales and Mapp had done a runner I stuck to the occasional away game and went to the Kassam only if I could get friends together for a decent chat and a few drinks away from the multiplex before or after. Supporting footy is so much about the social side and as a way to forget other worries and stresses for me. Amazing what a difference it makes when the game isn't everything. Also ridiculous what a difference a few good performances or positive steps by the club hierarchy can have. Hope you get that mojo back soon.I understand what you're saying.
Maybe me being negative is fuelled from a few things.
Hearing what is going on within the club from inside people and also the lack of communication from the club with regards to the new stadium.
The positive football and exciting football under Manning ( I realise he had a shaky start) but under Des it's so bloody dull especially up home.
I've been a season ticket holder for years and been following United for over 25 years. The atmosphere home and away isn't what is used to be, the matchday experience (entertainment) is awful, the Kassam and it's surroundings are in a right state of disrepair.
I understand we don't own anything but surely the club should be trying to improve things even if it at cost to them. We need to build momentum on and off the pitch to make the ground move successful.
I know a fanzone in the carpark was mentioned before but was dropped due to Kassam wanting to charge extra for it but the club should be doing all that can to maintain or attract more customers/fans.
Maybe I need to take a season out from all of it to rekindle my love for the club. Anyone ever done that and if so did it work?
