In my supporting lifetime, which is about 30 odd years, we are in the best position we have ever been. I did once think I would never see us play top flight football again.
See for me, football isn't just about league position.
I couldn't care less about what league we are in as long as the fans are at the heart of the club. That brings me to our current situation: Mr Peace is treating the fans like mugs. The news today is following on from a season which has had PR gaffe after PR gaffe. Peace then realised a statement admitting to mistakes and a promise to improve for the new season. There was also an intention, or so we thought, to bring in an manager with experience at the highest level who could change our fortunes. Instead we get Alan Irvine.
I am incredibly disillusioned at the moment. I have been going down the Albion for 20 years, home and away, but today was the last straw. I will not be attending next season. Many may think that makes me a bad supporter, but those who know me know how much Albion mean to me and wouldn't dream of accusing me of that.
Irvine could go on to be a success - for me, that's not the point. The point is those in charge have chose to lie to the fans of this club.
