People moan about our numbers these days but from what I've seen this season, our youth are going in big numbers. The future is bright.

When these tables came out showing our away support as like the 3rd worst in the division a few of us on here have been fighting the corner for ages saying exactly what you have, its not a like for like comparison and never has been. For me I think we should be looking to take 1,000 everywhere minimum on a Saturday and 500 for midweeks, for me I would like to see the Club help with that, they do it elsewhere so why not us. Could have topped 1,000 tomorrow with some sort of incentive, not even free travel, could have subsidized the tickets by £10, I mean if we sold 1000 would have cost the club £10,000, its f**k all realy is it, only once or twice a season they need to to it, the likes of Sunderland, Norwich, Ipswich those sorts of games, people love a bargain and if they thought, oh my Sunderland tickets only going to cost me £15 I reckon people would go for it, its shows the Club care for us like we care for them.

i dont agree...different if we had prem tv money but at moment it sounds like Warnock is out with a begging bowl looking for flights to long distance away games for our players...personally i think this is a priority..

As it is, we all want to be there in blue and we believe in the best manager we've had since Burrows.
Our crowds home and away stand up, considering distances.
