I've always had a believe that the tigers fans were the best in the league.
Lets have a little review of where we currently are, last week the chairman posted this on the facebook page.
Alan Gould
Just had the displeasure of reading through the posts from tonights game and once again, the arguments and personal insults appear.
So off we go to Manchester, where they take the opportunity to allow a young netminder to get some ice time, i'd guess that was a special occasion for him.
He was greeted by a mixture of.
You only play when your winning.
Two shots one goals, two shots one goal,
Tea bag, tea bag.
So we have a set of fans loud and proud that support their team and we have always had great support from the opposing teams fans. So where are we now and what are those fans saying ?
Here's two post from the Manchester site.

Right up to their goal I would agree about the telford fans it was nice to see them still behind their team but I personally didn't like the chanting aimed at a young netminder seemed a bit below the belt. At the end of the day he played over 1/6 of the match last night and only let in 1 goal. Mind you he shut them up himself by making a couple of good saves so maybe no halm came from in. I just personally lost a lot of respect for those Telford fans that where chanting last night."

It was only the usual netminder chants, personally it just felt wrong aimed at a young reserve.
At the end of the day its up to the fans what they want to sing, i'd just thought i'd highlight this to enable people to have a think about how the support is being viewed, and what that may do to the goodwill we currently enjoy from the other teams?
