What Happens to the Fan Base??

[Patstastic]

It's been nearly two decades since the Pats had a losing season. Realistically, do they have enough goodwill to sellout the stadium regardless of performance for the next few years? Or, will the Waiting List and attendance shrink dramatically?

Boston isn't Atlanta or Miami. I'd like to think we are more diehard. What you say?

Thanks. You are only 8 hours, one thread and two **** Vitale jokes late. Well done.

Mods, please start getting rid of these duplicate threads. I beg of your.

No relation.

Dan is Vi-tally and **** is Vy-tell.

I changed the thread title and content. Didn't see a thread was already made.

I don’t know as time goes on I listen to some fans give their take and I start to wonder if our fanbase is dumber than the average.

Doubt anything will change unless the Pats absolutely suck and stay that way for a while.

We don't know that though. This is the first time in some people's lives the Pats are expected to stink.

Yeah the pink hats are gone for sure but I don’t think there’s enough of them to change things.

Thank god. Nothing worse than a fairweather fan. If you can't accept things at their worst, you don't deserve to experience the best.

I imagine the ones who do/did exist weren't posting here very much either.

I had season tickets when they went 0-16...I won't be a fan of that again. Bill would never let that happen anyway. All bets are off when he is no longer coach.

Yeah... me too.

Are you invoking a Marilyn Monroe quote?

I have been a fan since 1969, when I realized the AFL was real and viable, and have never wavered even when there were really crappy teams, crappy HC's and crappy owners..

Have learned to take the really great with many less so, no need to change my passion for this team..

If you have read the board during the last 20 years, you may have notice some Pats loyalist are only loyal to winning. A single loss is a tragic rejection of all their hopes and dreams. A blowout usually calls for a Mystic River dive. So I would assume the same critics that think a blowout is the only good game will be leaving in droves for greener pastures. But they will make the forum a living hell before they go.

Myself, well I am looking forward to seeing what the future brings, I can not see the next season any more than I can see any point in speculating about wasted draft picks of 5 years ago.

As a positive note, we won 11 games with Cassel.

Wow. It is a Marilyn Monroe quote too. Had no idea:

Life don't get no better than bickering and arguing about football when the team is losing.

Especially when you have a forum divided over the QB. The Bledsoe years were pure gold.

Did this forum even exist back then?
