PS I maintain there's little reason to add "discuss" to a thread opening post as it is a discussion board.
Anyhow I agree with your sentiments.

Exactly, thanks Lamie. By using the words “knocking” and “pop at the club” I was getting at those who continually hijack and twist threads to rake up old, tired and personal issues. A number of the current threads are going round in circles, however the Philip Larkin one is refreshing, if not unusual for NSC.

Yeh, not sure why I put it ��
You were feeling "emotionally tired"?

The obvious thing to suggest to the OP is that if you want a saccharine sweet view of all things Albion, stick to the club media outlets - that should keep you happy. But it's not what NSC should be about (although the hand and influence of club PR is fairly apparent even on here in recent years).

I hate it when people say " discuss"
It's like a bloody teacher setting a project for the class.

Knocking the club is part and parcel of loving the team. I love BHAFC to bits. Went to The Goldstone, Gillingham and Withdean before The Amex. I’m fairly sure that I knocked the club a time or two when we were 92nd in the league. Was that wrong? The right to knock doesn’t simply evaporate with success. We moan. It’s what we do. It doesn’t diminish our love of the team. I’m sure most at the club are fairly thick skinned about the knocking, know when it can safely be ignored and when to take action.

Silly old bat
There are some posters who really need to change the record, as it's got stuck. We know the club faults and don't need to be reminded at least twice a day.
Having said that, it is easier to put people on ignore, than try to discuss anything with them.

This is of course all absolutely true. I do hope that the past gives us some small perspective and we don't end up like Arsenal fans moaning about being third/fourth/fifth in the Premier League (fat chance!), but there will always be relative to the context things that you think the club are doing well or badly.

For some of us the getting there has been a fair bit longer than many on here. For what it's worth, I agree with the sentiment. Dick Knight (remember him?) probably agrees too.

Don't be so f*cking precious. There's always been more or less the same level of praise and criticism of the club as far back as I can remember. It's NSC's role to provide invaluable direct feedback to the club, for good or ill. Overall I'd say the club welcomes and benefits from such direct feedback.

The Data Controller is the person responsible in any given organisation who is accountable for compliance to the Data Protection legislation. Should be one in every organisation that keeps records on individuals from HMRC to the local cricket club.
The Information Commissioner is the bod in charge of the Data Protection "overseers" and is the person that will sort out any naughty Data Controllers that are not complying with the legislation [can bring cases to court for persistent non-compliance].
Said the fat controller, grumiplly ....

Don't tell me...you voted for Brexit and now fully support the Tory view that everyone must be positive about the future otherwise you are unpatriotic and talking the country down must stop.
There should be nothing wrong about raising issues or concerns about the club.
Just look at the ticketing system which for an away game a few weeks ago fell over psrtly because of 4 home games going on sale at the same time.
Groans and moans all round and guess what the club have woken up and brought the Utd on sale date forward.
If we all sat here and said isnt tomorrow wonderful the same problems woukd just repeat.
We all love the club through both ups and downs but are opened eyed to see some issues.
