Windsock ‘supporters’

Sun Nov 08, 2026 8:30 am

I work in aviation and a windsock is a piece of equipment, that shows which direction the wind is from. It changes depending on said wind direction.

This reminds me of a lot of our ‘supporters.’ Losing and the knives are being sharpened, the BBM and regime insults and digs start coming. Changes with the wind. Ergo, windsock supporters. My mate left at 3-1 yesterday. I said no chance I’m leaving we are still in this creating loads of chances.

Please get behind this young team with a relatively young but certainly inexperienced and progressive manager who is doing what we have been wanting for years. If we don’t you can bet another set of fans will.

Be a stiff northerly wind or an aircraft carrier. Always point ahead.

You only need to read yesterdays match day thread, knives out and then a knighthood within 30 minutes.

Had a look through the match thread this morning. My issue is with the people who were being critical when we were losing but then disappeared after we'd come back and won the match. It's often the same people who make loads of posts when we lose games but are nowhere to be seen after good results. If it was a one off then you could accept that they have other things to do, but with some it's consistent.

Ta Sven and Davids.

Yeah it’s pretty widespread when we are losing.

I saw BBM gonna be under pressure or something similar. It’s obvious that the players are playing for him.

A very good analogy and perhaps the underlying reason that makes some so fickle.

I disappeared after the match for a bit as I needed a lay down after that game. :old:
