We hear all the time that Martin won us the league last year; how Maeda, and to a lesser degree how Engels, got us over the line. I agree with all that. No one seems to mention the return of the missing fans however. If there is one single difference that actually coincides with our change in fortune last term, it is surely the return of the Green Brigade? You couldn’t arrange a better experimental demonstration of fan power if you tried.
Thank you, GB!

I agree that letting the fans back in was paramount to us winning the league.
The board crapped the bed and let the fans back in last season, when it became clear we were in real danger of losing the league, which would have led to mass unrest in the support.
I also thought they showed their true colours when they let the GB in when they needed them and then banned some of them right after the season was finished.

I'm sure Buzz done a post a while ago about the form with and without the GB in attendance and it wasn't pretty reading. Likely to have got much worse after last season too.

Did MON not win most of his matches without the GB in attendance? Now I'm sure the GB helped get us over the line. But let's now make out they are the end all and be all of the club and our winning depends on them. Let's not make out they are the 2nd coming.
I don't and will never agree with The GB or any fans group like them. They bring unwanted attention to the club, think they have god given rights and are thugs into the bargain. They are not the messiah.
