    In order to raise spirits:

    1. We should hand a copy of the club's bank statement out at the turnstiles showing just how solvent we are.
    2. We should hand out a written copy of the league table too, showing how well we are doing on less funding.
    3. We should hand out copies of the reports regarding Glasgow Rangers, Portsmouth, Coventry, Port Vale, etc etc.

    In this way, we can make sure people don't care about the quality of the players, or the football on offer. We can pretend that it's as good as Danny Wilson's team, or the Banks, Glavin, McCarthy, Aylott team of the early 80's. It doesn't matter that our crowds will be down to 6-7,000 a game, because the ones that do go will be TRUE FANS. Who needs the others?

    Lost interest in going, old boy. Will never lose interest in the Reds' fortunes.

    It was close, just looked on google and average was 9,045, in fact thats the lowest average attendance we've had since promotion to premiership

    your one of the reasons then, so why keep asking where fans gone.answer = fickle. and they''ll make whatever excuse to justify.
    in reality they'll be thousands of fans from other clubs just loving to be in our position.

    A thousand is a fair drop, although I will admit I did think it was a bit less after just browsing the attendances. Our crowds are shrinking in the Championship so would no doubt be even lower in L1 this time around. We aren't going down anyway so no point thinking about it.

    "That ain't necessarily so". In League One we might win more matches; winning matches brings in the crowds. It's a big "might" though, just look recently relegated Scnuthorpe.

    Yeh, just like The Pigs, The Blunts, Huddersfield etc. - not as simple as crowd size alone.

    And that was swelled significantly towards the end of the season when it looked like we might get promoted and the realisation dawned that ticket stubs would come in handy for ST applications for the premiership year we did have gates of bgetwen 7000 and 8000 for a lot of the games
