How are we feeling about it this year? On the one hand, the players haven’t been able to do one for the last two seasons given Covid, so it’s a chance for them and us to give each other a send off, but on the other, this season’s been such a let down, I personally won’t be hanging around for it.

Been a shambles of a season, personally think they should scrap the idea and let us get away quickly so we can enjoy our summer.
(chuckles)
It's the least they can do after this grim season.
I agree with AFKA, if there is the usual fart arseing about with families and stuff that takes ages to get going there will be nobody left. Certainly not me anyway.
At the final whistle the whole squad should appear with a big thank you sign, applaud the loyal fans, then bugger off and prepare for Ipswich.
I would rather clap Mick Everett and the departing head groundsman.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, maybe it's just that this squad is so unlikeable, but this season I've really noticed that I'm finding the hero worship of players just a bit weird.
But they are my team and they are part of my Life and, if they were not there, my Life would be poorer.
Good or bad, I clap them for that.
I've noticed over the past few years our fanbase is very quick to hero worship/ instantly elevate to hero status whether it be managers, players, owners etc. before they have actually proved their worth or done anything of real merit to warrant such plaudits.
Happened with Southall and Sandgaard and players like Elliot Lee. I sit near the corner flag where the players warm up and remember when Aiden McGeady warmed up ahead of his first appearance for us and the covered end started chanting "One Aiden McGeady".
He looked bemused and laughed and muttered to himself "I haven't done anything yet".
Think we are very desperate for someone/ people to come in and stop the rot and turn the misfortunes of the past decade plus around that we're very quick to elevate people to some sort of hero status in the hope they will be so.
I imagine many other clubs do it too.
In this scenarios our fanbase reminds me of that poor woman you get in the local who has had a series of wrong un relationships and is therefore overly receptive and welcome of any attention and potential promise of something better and gives herself away to cheaply. Tragic.
Need a bit more self respect in this sense and stop the cosy cosy nature that exists within our club. Players can come in an earn hero status and plaudits by putting in performances and running through walls in the shirt as the Kinsella's, Hales, Browns, Robinsons and Jacksons and plethora of other heroes over the years have done rather than instant mawkish recognition because of a few platitudes they might pump out on twitter.
If I could turn back time, Cher
Sorry seems to be the hardest word, Elton
Please forgive me, Bryan Adams
Winner takes it all (losers have to fall) Abba
Don't look back in Anger, Oasis.
So for that reason, I’m out.
If they have half a conscience instead of a ready propensity to gurn into a camera in training for publishing on soschial meedya, they will slink off back down the tunnel, hand the sacred jersey back and fuck off!
