I’m bored by the negativity here, you know that negativity breeds negativity, yet another thread moaning is not going to change anything, this is how Putin persuaded the gullible to vote Brexit
I’ve had a season ticket for 30 years, am an Ambassador, and had shares which Trevor Hemmings forced me to sell him for a pittance . I’ve only missed single figures of home games in those 30 years and go to most away matches. After Wednesday night’s performance I decided to give Hull a miss and went to watch Accrington Stanley instead. I enjoyed being close to the action and the match. No sideways passing or possession based tactics but forward thinking action. Couldn’t help keep looking at my phone to check on Pne though. That’s the trouble- it’s in my blood! Pne.
Hard not to notice Stanley have an exciting skilful right wing back, Rosaire Longelo aged 23. Do we never scout these lower local teams ? Former Stanley players include;Jordan Clark who was mom for Luton on Wednesday night.

Small point, but "2" is not "more than 2".
Goal return has been shocking, not helped by our hopeless striker recruitment for years, but I increasingly think Lowe has no ability to coach effective attacking play at Championship level (the "tramlines" being a dead giveaway there).
His emphasis on superstition and blaming our lack of goals solely on luck or confidence or over-thinking is another indicator. All stinks of a lower-league striker who could do but can't teach.
OP
Ah yes its the fans fault isn't it?
The fans once again yesterday got right behind the team until half way through the first half everyone in the stadium was quiet and frankly bored.
When we had a ten minute spell of actually attacking the fans responded but things soon related to type and the game drifted away.
There is nothing I say on here that I wouldn't say to the leadership teams faces.
I will also be at Deepdale once again this week on flag duty at some point.
This forum has done more than anyone to try and spread positively to support the team this season.
Sadly your mates alongside the owners don't share that enthusiasm, like you say eventually negativity spreads and creates more negativity.
That has come from them.
Not the fans.

John, in my time around the forum, you've never shown less than 200% dedication and commitment to this football club. In all honesty and sincerity, maybe now is a good time to take a couple of steps back and away from the circus that Deepdale has become? Do more of the stuff that you like doing away from the club? Right now we're in a phase of 'diminishing returns' - frustrating (and boring) as hell with no end in immediate sight.
I’m in exactly the same place. I could cry watching us turn into another Bury scenario. I just refuse to make the Hemmings family losses any smaller. I know it’s only two season tickets but it’s all I can do. Ridsdale has made himself very wealthy whilst destroying us with the Hemmings full knowledge and acceptance. I hope karma bites the lot of them very hard.
Maybe this forum isn't for you then?
If the club didn't have such a negative outlook and the manager playing negative football, people wouldn't have a cause to moan.
Negativity breeds negativity but the source is the club.

I’m not saying all is rosey, after watching this club for over 50 years of course I want us to be successful and play attractive football, I’m no fan of PR and can’t watch another RL interview, I think it’s criminal that we don’t have an attacking right back or right wing back at the club, I just fail to see why the subject needs yet another thread.
I’ve been bored countless times over the years. There were times during the latter stages of Alex Neil’s tenure in particular when I felt like I was losing the will to live. But back then the boredom with our style of play was always accompanied by a sense of either anger, hope or misplaced patience. There was always a sense that maybe if we could just get to transfer deadline day, maybe if we could just get to the end of the season, maybe if we could just ignite our season with a special performance, that brighter times might be around the corner. How naïve. The difference now is that I have no hope. We’re stuck in a situation where survival in the division is all we strive for. We have no special players. We have no style of football. There will be no further investment. It’s a recipe for apathy and although I’ll still stupidly rock up to every game it’s always with a sense now that there are things I’d rather be doing.

Bore off you sycophantic tool.
Having a go at @JK for being negative is the most ridiculous take I've ever read on here.
The fact that he even still attends matches given the way Hemmings/ Ridsdale treated him over Ingol and the more recent police involvement is a credit in itself.
If your mate Ridsdale left the club a cloud would lift over night.
It’s probably frustration, hoping somebody will finally understand just how much they’ve had enough.
PR and RL have to go. It’s as simple as that.
I can’t think of one positive thing at the club. Not one player we own, anything we offer on a matchday from corporate through to catering or fanzone, a stadium needing maintenance, a manager out of his depth. I could go on.
Hopefully, soon, somebody within PNE will have listen.
I also feel the same. I have been one of our hard core supporters. I was one of the 900 crowd during the afternoon game when the floodlights were condemned but as I wrote on another thread the other night, I find myself looking for a reason not to go. I have hardly missed a home game in 50 odd years but last Wed I just couldn't muster any enthusiasm to go. And the worst thing about it is I was not sorry on Thursday morning"
So, everyone keeps clapping and no one says anything that isn’t totally positive, can you explain what that will change please. I voted leave without Putin or even Russia even being a slight consideration.
Over and above the valid points made by these posts, I think the club have underestimated how long it will take to turn things around. Especially the deterioration in the relationship and lack of connection between the club and the fans. It's gone too far for another pre-season rallying call from PR and a ST Deal to "fix things". In fact, it feels like nothing less than a root and branch change, triggered by a change of ownership is going to turn things around. On that point, for God's sake just make a clear statement that the club is for sale and at what sensible price.
