That's pretty much how I feel. It's not the continual defeats as much as the poverty and limitation of our attacking play, especially last week when we were all over Salford for more than half the game and should have been at least twenty points clear by half time. (Or might have been had we shown a bit more imagination than continually attempting to run straight through tackles from 5-10 yards out to score right under the posts.) Even the last few wins I've seen have felt uninspiring: Bradford away, Wakefield and Crusaders at home last season. I've got a season ticket but I just can't find the enthusiasm to turn up and watch more of that right now.
I'm a relative latecomer to rugby league having got hooked in my mid-thirties. I've watched football and cricket for much longer, but when fixtures clash I take each one as it comes and often prefer to watch Quins. I missed one home game in our last three years at Brentford and have continued to do around 75% of home games since we moved to The Stoop and began playing Saturdays. Last year I missed just one home game and for the last four years I've done around 40% of the away games too. I like to make a weekend of it when we're away and take in NL games as a neutral. I'm not likely to see Quins again for two months now as all our forthcoming matches are either evening kick offs away from home, or on days when I can find something else I'd like to do. If that makes me a fairwether fan so be it, but I'm not going to keep turning up to watch boring rubbish when I'm simply not enjoying it and I can find something more enjoyable to do instead.
