I sympathise with that statement. It cannot be easy to accept that the club you’ve invested however many years in is all but dead and the place you visited every fortnight is no longer in use. It’s not even like the club is on life support, it’s dead but I suppose it comes down to being able to accept that what you knew is gone.
It also cannot be easy to start supporting a Phoenix club because while it might look like your club and many of the faces you knew are there, while it’s playing away from it’s spiritual home, it must feel strange. I suppose you’re never going to get a 100% buy-in to anything. You see it with Supporters Trusts and I suppose Phoenix clubs will be the same. Some fans will fall by the wayside, others will be stubborn and refuse to acknowledge the new entity but many will get behind it.
That said, they’ve ruined it a bit with that last paragraph and final sentence.
