Todays attendance.

[Cricko]

It has taken a fair few years to build our supporters strength up to the 8k mark,it is taking a fair few minutes for it to plummet. If the crowds keep dropping then those fans will be doing something else on a Saturday afternoon and will be very hard to entice back.To me it seems all such a waste these past few years when we were on such an upward spiral.

Some will say ok we start again from scratch with what we have now..I cannot argue with that but I still blame one man for the position we find ourselves in now..IMO we should not be in this division at all and would not be if his arrogance, ego and tunnel vision were not so much more important to him than, the players, the managers, the fans, the staff,fellow directors, The Trust, businesses, HMRC ad infinitum.

Spot on and I for one won't be making the 200 mile round trip for every home game this season. It normally costs me £75+ to attend a home game and after the way Tilson and our players were treated I won't be parting with a penny this season and I know plenty of other people who feel the same way.

Interesting how many of our ex-players were performing in the Championship yesterday plus Francis and McCormack playing for Charlton in Lge 1. If that doesn't vindicate Tilson I don't know what does, several different managers of much bigger clubs than us share his view on them obviously. He wasn't perfect but did a damn good job considering what he had to contend with last season, the nucleus of the side has been quality for many years but the inability to make any permanent signings last year was what killed us.

I think the pro RM people are in for a big shock, once you mess with HMRC they are all over you like a rash so in my opinion his every move will be scrutinised from now on and I for one am praying he slips up !

Totally agree the Blue Voice section even drops each week were struggling on numbers now and really need help!
Also like Cricko said it will take a long time to build fans back up again, this is what you get for league 2 football

 

[Smiffy]

Yesterday was the lowest attendance for a League game in 6 years.

Bad times...

It's all to do with the methods used to get to this current state, not the current state itself IMO

100% correct.

Totally agree with everything you say except that my journey would only be a fraction on yours living in Hadleigh, I will go to a few away games to visit new grounds but that is it. Thanks Ron

Thought you had a loyal fan base of almost 8,000 ????

Oh how I long for the day when Mr Cowling walks away and leaves you up s**t creek!
