I'm not sure there's an answer to this question, but why does being a fan (of any sport) mean you have to suffer and put up with bad times? I completely accept supporting a team and having colours on a mast, but I go because I enjoy rugby league. It would be fine if I could just enjoy the opposition but I'm in a Broncos shirt, and frankly even the Leeds play wasn't that good, Broncos were just that bad.
If I'm not enjoying going and being at the ground, why should I part with any money to do so? I said in the 'what do you want to see in the 2012 season' thread before the season started that as long as they play well I'm happy - it's more important to hold your head up than to win I think.
That hasn't happened, and if the tickets go up in price next season or it looks again like there are going to be matches at random grounds, a whole heap of different times and general messing around I will have to think very seriously about whether I get another season ticket.
Oh and a new coach who seems passionate and engaged. Someone who looks angry when players play badly and openly relishes the chance to get his team up against the top clubs in the game and have a go at them.
