where have the...

[conners]

Our core fan base is probably 9000. Going by those that were chanting "you don't know what you're doing" the other day, about 3000 of those 9000 are of no use. Rest of the fans turn up when we show the slightest glimpse of being successful.

Despite all the negativity, this club is still very close to being a big name once again. I fear, however, that the fanbase will play a bit part in making that not happen.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop going on about high ticket prices. It is a useless argument. Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea fans all pay more to watch their teams. Our fans have the money but THEY decide not to spend it on THEIR team. End of.

It's an expensive time of year, especially during a recession.

You may find many fans had the option of going to a couple of games or giving the family a nice Christmas!
