Which stayaways? Our gates have never dropped back below the pre premier league average of over 20 years ago. http://european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/league/bars.htm 12-13,000 average gates are as healthy as we've had in some time. It's not up to the fans to come out of the woodwork and plough money in if the owners aren't going to invest it well. It's up to the owners to put something on the pitch to whet the fans appetite. I'd love to see Oakwell full every home game, but it's not going to happen under these circumstances. If anything the crowds will fall away.
You’re bang on there mate. You can find absolutely nothing on Chien Lee or his apparent wealth. New Capital website is vague and that’s putting it lightly. Reading back through that statement relating to the debacle at nice and the £22 million loan taken out against the club is worrying and makes me believe just how little these guys are going to invest. The biggest complaint of the nice fans was that the board lacked ambition. Similarities are starting to appear.
