ONLY FANS CAN HELP OUR CLUB

Fri Aug 26, 2016 3:48 pm

It looks like - we as the fans have a big part to play if we want out club to stabilise and succeed.

( we've always known it, even when the club didn't)

We need to turn up and support - buy merchandise and tickets as it is very important
To have fans when you don't have TV money.

If you want the best for the club, you should turn up

Shouldn't you?

The problem is that the hard core have always stood by the Club through thick and thin but the rebrand has had a devastating effect on the heart and soul of our Club and it's about time the Club looked at the actual attendances of 10000 and did something to entice back the thousands lost who by now have probably moved on to do other things on a Saturday. Unfortunately it is no longer the buzz that it was watching The City at home. Our Stadium is only about a third full and that speaks volumes. Teza

Spot on
Modern stadiums, over zealous stewards, not like the good old days on the bob bank terrace.

The biggest problem is the lack of transperancy
From the club
Choo stated that the aim is play offs this season
Nothing was mentioned about selling the best players off cheap
If the club had either got a decent manager with good experience in and signed one decent striker
We could believe the club meant business
Our crowds are down to about 10,000 now at home games and will probably get less
The club should make a statement of what their intentions are and why
If they were honest with us then maybe we wouldn't complain so much
Whilst Tam is here as owner I'm afraid that this is how it's going to be
Remember he wanted us in red
Since we have been back in blue all the investment in the club has stopped
We now shop in pound land and sell all decent assets
It won't stop me from renewing my season ticket and it won't stop me from having a shout about the poor way the club is run either

a major factor is the football is boring to watch , it's not entertaining and tbh hasn't been for a while the hardcore will always go but the floaters want entertaining football until we start playing entertaining football again then the crowds will stay away

Absolutely bang on. We either carry on surviving on 10 to 15000 crowds in a very poor atmosphere with dull unentertaining football or our Club wakes up to the fact that it needs to provide a better matchday for it's loyal supporters. Starting with explaining and outlining their hopes and aspirations THEN we at least would all be on the same page and singing the same song! Personally I think the hierarchy are happy with being a mid table Championship Club but the danger is we may end up sailing close to relegation without some further investment. Hopefully another investor will see the potential and take us to another level because this current regime appears to have had it's day. Teza .
