Whilst I have absolutely NO sympathy for the club at all, I really feel so sorry for the majority of their supporters. I have two family members, fairly long- standing Bombers members, who are definitely not "#stand by hird"-ers and who, in fact, who are disgusted and disillusioned by the whole saga and the lack of responsibility taken by the club.
They have suspended their memberships as they have no interest in going to the footy this season...or probably for the foreseeable future.
I'm trying my hardest to add a little white to their black and red but at the moment they are pretty demoralized. So whilst many people are rejoicing at the fact Essendon is going to be on its knees for years to come, don't forget the thousands of their fair-minded supporters who are also suffering.
