Dear all the point I was trying to make in my post about Peter Smith’s reporting of Fridays match and the fans deserving better was not so much that we do deserve better - we have had it pretty good. If I was a fan of the London team with ground changes, changes of name, losing all our better players over the years I might feel that I deserved better (although I would be quite happy at the moment) – the point is that his report suggests a growing level of frustration and exasperation with things. The fact that its like ground hog day hints of better things then seemingly no carry through and progress. Local sports reporters don’t tend to go out on a limb – invite criticism and pressure from readers that could jeopardise sales. I think the points he makes reflect a growing general loss of belief in things getting better.
