Maybe they were fed up with the constant references to Bury on Sea which you still get everywhere. It was funny once but starting to wear now. No excuse though.
Hi, you seem to be asking for a âwhy is this happening?â. I was there today and saw it. I donât think that itâs your fault, or anything that you are doing. You are very welcome to come and join us as far as 99% of us are concerned. Our hearts go out to you, as we went through the trauma of nearly having it done to us and it was horrible enough even though we were pulled back from the brink. I may be wrong, but I think that the problem is with RL. Every manager we have previously had in my time following Argyle has been Our Manager, and some of us demand 100% loyalty from our manager. What some people may be feeling is that Our Manager loves another team more than us. He played in your fund raiser match which some may see as a distraction from the commitment to us. The timing for today was not good. RL gave an interview saying that the Exeter match was âJust another matchâ and then went and lost it 4-0, the biggest defeat against a team we really donât like since the 1920s. Some fans may think that is because he does not get us, he is not yet Our Manager; and the reason is, he is still your manger. Therefore, the quicker that you disappear off the scene the better (for that 1% who think that way). Think of it that you start a new relationship with a new partner, and he/she disappears off to see his/her ex-wife/husband and the step-kids every so often. Not a perfect analogy, but along those lines. Football is tribal and some fans have one club and one club only. Anyone coming in to that club must, for them, have the same commitment; and so far it appears that RL does not. Hence, some anti-feeling towards you. For what itâs worth, thatâs my take on what you experienced today. Sorry that it happened.desperateshaker":ewj5ud0f said:Could i ask what is the overall feeling of Bury fans visiting the odd game in the North West
We came to your first game of the season and your words support was overwhelmingly emotional
Today a few of us attended baring in mind we are football fans with no club, we don't watch moneyball on TV and thought we would once again show our support
Although the majority of your support made us welcome and stopped to speak, listened to what was now going on with Bury and offered their condolences we also experience alot of anamositiy towards us, and would like to know why the sudden change of heart
We had a support aggressively confront us outside the ground (fat bald green coat hello to you sir, such a delight)
telling us that he wouldnt follow ex Argyle players around the country, and we shouldn't be here,
maybe not but he hasn't had his team taken from him, he took exception when a member of Argyle staff hugged a Bury fan who he obviously knew outside of football, he seemed outraged that the Bury lad missed home, surely if he'd been made redundant and left to work miles from home, regardless of the hard work put in, surely he'd miss his family?
We had a Supporter tell a steward we shouldn't be in this end and a female fan abused at half time
The majority of your support have been and always are phenomenal but I'm just perplexed at why the census has seemed to change,
This isn't a post to cause problems but just to understand why some have such animosity at other football fans coming to watch a game,
To the fan that told me you shouldn't be here, you was with what seemed to be your son? I was with my father and uncle, out time as a family has been wripped apart, I hope your bond and hobby with your family Doesnt get taken away from you
Once again all the best for the season to such a wonderful set of supporters, I'm sure you will go up this season

What a load of nonsense. No point tyring to explain that behaviour.
So sorry to hear that, each side has their portion of morons and we clearly do. You are very welcome and all genuine Argyle fans wish you well for your re-birth.desperateshaker":24klhi66 said:Could i ask what is the overall feeling of Bury fans visiting the odd game in the North West
