I am not ungrateful and I have previously recognised their significant contribution but, as I have previously posted, you can't dine out on this for ever.  Let's not forget they bought the club cheaply and on the back of certain promises.  We are going backwards and downwards under the current ownership on and off the pitch.  My 4 major criticisms stand up to the test.  What worries me is just how complacent many supporters seem to be about the situation.

Not necessarily complacency, just an understanding and acceptance of the many times that we have been through this scenario before over the decades.
The majority of us have (probably) become immune to any genuine expression of shock and/or emotional outpouring that is normally expected if and when we are eventually relegated from this division.
If we were involved in the next level of relegation (to the conference) I believe that the perceived complacency would be totally different.

I am going tomorrow, but it will be no worse that the years stood on the Spion Kop/Hotel End at the County Ground throughout the majority of the seventies when we used to go through habit or because there was nothing better to do.  It was never in anticipation of anything positive, just hopeful that we were successfully re-elected each season and/or that there may be something special and we didn't really want to miss it (Bournemouth 6-0 etc...).
