the arrogance of this organization to perform so pathetically and then put on an autograph signing session?! u gotta be kidding. Start showing some effort on the field, start winning, and maybe then people will want ur autograph.

By that logic lots of teams would not have any support at all.

Gladly we are not one of those teams :D

I think you misunderstand me slightly. I'm not talking about withdrawing support for the team because they don't win. I just don't think players should be walking around shaking hands and kisssing babies until they've done something to warrant the praise. Start showing some heart and effort, and some of us will start to give a shit about showing up to ur autograph sessions...

Fair enough, but I think from a supporters standpoint it doesnt really change much. Do you think the first one, Torsten Frings and Joao Plata, haven't shown heart?

I also like the idea that they are out in the community and interacting with people both with practices and then on that PR front.

Just my personal 2 cents on that, to each their own.
