Out sell our season tickets 3 to 1 almost.
This is Egg City for all our bull shit.

Weak fickle support.

Does anyone remember when we had 35k at home for Hereford in Division 3 on a Tuesday?
We played Swindon at home on the Saturday there was 18k there.
A 50% drop in 4 days.
Let’s not delude ourselves that we are or will ever be a big club.
Yes I’ll protest with you.
But I believe or support is so fickle that 60% of the protesters will not even be season ticketholders.
I’ve hardly missed a game since 1961.Have you?

I think the point you make is well documented, we are a big time Charlie club, & five decades of non first division/premiership football has not helped, no wonder we have so many plastic & part time fans in our catchment area.

we need to act like a mid table championship club ..which based on our corwds over the years is what we are

if we get taken over unless we get someone with a pot of gold , then the new owners need to run the club in this way

instead of spending silly money on new pressofficers when we are 30 million in debt

exactly Sludge budget as a mid table club and not gamble on future incomes streams like promotion that may or may not come off, quite basic thinking it would seem, yet one particular man seems to have a habit on gambling on the future, did it with Leeds and well who knows what may or may not happen to us.

so what you are saying is unless you have never missed a game, and unless you are a season ticket holder you are not a fan!
ive got news for you mate, some people work shift work and weekends, some people cant afford a ticket for every game, some people cant afford a season ticket, this doesnt mean they are not fans, or as passionate as you!!
and yes for your info i am a season ticket holder.

I'm such a fickle supporter I'm a member of the supporter's trust. Thanks for clearing that up for me :ayatollah:

Just because I don't have a season ticket and can't get a ticket for every game doesn't mean so. I'm a student, which means no money. Go figure that one out.
