Heroes
Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2023 5:14 pm
All football clubs rely on having a hero or two, that have a strong bond with the fans. A player that we would all pay good money just to see. The likes of Briggsy, Aldridge (either one!), Beano, Joey. The star that shone above the rest.
Arguably, Matty Taylor was that player for OUFC in recent seasons. Maybe it will become GO'D, but I'm very unconvinced he is quite the player, or will even become the player, that we all hope for.
With so many squad changes over the last few seasons, does OUFC even have such heroes anymore? I don't feel much affinity to the players as I used to. In fact I have to concentrate hard to even recognise (name) some of the players, such has been the turnover.
Even my adoration of the club has a few hairline cracks nowadays.
As a long term fan, I feel hard done by. Poorly treated by the club. Huge hikes in the cost of my ST. Sizeable reductions in the benefit of my ST. It feels like I'm no longer an involved member of a club, but more a sales and marketing statistic.
I wonder if others have a similar impression.
