I wonder if Disney Fc owners are getting fed up

Not sure, nothing historically to suggest they are

 

yes - really hoping they finish outside the top 2 and fail in the playoffs so their spending gamble doesn’t pay off.

 

This is where football has got silly. We’re talking about 2 small clubs that have spent most of their years in the third tier with respective all time average gates of 6100 & 7400, and guessing which is going to be the ‘biggest’ due to their owners vanity.

I had to chuckle when I heard Wrexham fans boo after their penalty shoot out defeat and draw with Bolton. Suppose they’ll be ‘bigger’ as long as things keep going their way, but glory fans are the least dependable, so if the fan base is made up mainly of that kind of fan, like Wrexhams is, that’s a lot of fans to jump ship.

 

Agree. If you watch the Wrexham series, you’ll know this advert is just part of their humour.

 

Except Bournemouth has over 1/2 million people in it's borough. Wrexham about a quarter of that.

 

I was basing that opinion on Wrexham being a Welsh/ north Wales thing, if you ignore the draw of Manchester and Liverpool clubs.
Bournemouth has quite a few efl clubs for competition. Plus they are planning on having a new stadium with a capacity of 18500 which is small by Premier League standards. The owners must know their expected attendance. Brentford is 17k+, plenty of competition for bums on seats.

 

That's where I think we're under sold. We site Leeds, Sheffield clubs as a reason that we don't break 20,000 but in actual fact if we were ran better we'd have more fans turning up.

Granted fans came to Oakwell in the eighties because both the Sheffield clubs and Leeds were crap but never it capitalised on that.

Even to this day with how 5hit Rotherham and Doncaster are we should be tapping into that market. We don't.

Maybe we're honourable neighbours rather than raucous ones?

I wouldn't mind ditching this understated tag and having a Wrexham type vibe going off. Before my time but nearest thing we've had was probably Alan Clarke in the late seventies/ early eighties.

That yielded a twenty year upward curve.

Maybe I'm unrealistic and greedy but can't see where the clubs headed in it's current guise. (Like a cracked record now).
