Because not everyone who goes to football is a member of the message board.
The wider community will hear soon.

I reckon we lost a few, not thousands though.
But we have a very fickle fan base so if Tan hasn't have rebranded and instead cut cost dramatically then I think we would have a lot lower attendances if struggling in the league.

Because people can't afford to go everyweek anymore. Nobody wants red but it's not so bad that it keeps people away the people that do stay away over a colour need to get over themselves it's still the same sport in the same place with the same people.

It is so bad that it keeps people away.
If we don't get promotion this season and remain in red, I imagine a MASSIVE drop in attendances. Premiership may well sway them to stay. Like it or not, that's what will happen in my mind.

A few thousand? Very unlikely.
Probably looking in the hundreds rather than the thousands.

Key word here being IMAGINE and the phrase "in my mind".I have to agree with you there,as in,thats the only place they will happen.Your a very clever man but people will rumble you in the end.Barry Chuckle wrote:kingdong wrote:Because people can't afford to go everyweek anymore.

Yeah thats righ Luke Tan was going to cut costs drastically, specially as he had already ploughed £40 million into the club.
If Tan wants to see any of that back he needs premiership football and there is only one way that was going to happen.
This not investing was just scare tactics.

It isn't "very few" in reality. How you seen how empty the stadium is, despite the attendances being still relatively high. (Ie. fans with STs just not turning up)
I personally believe that fine go up, most fans will stay - the lire of the premiership is too much for a lot)
If we stay down, in my view, there will be a big drop in STs and attendances. That's when we will feel the real blow of this rebrand.
Club very lucky that majority of STs (if not all) were bought before the rebrand was announced.
That's just my opinion

It's a pointless argument unless people can get the exact figures of people who stay away because of the red.
Everybody's just guessing
