I appreciate this comment is likely said with humour intended and it was the Flyers fan who brought up the issue (and has made provocative posts), but I'm not sure this is the place for discussion of this topic. I know you like to wind people up on here Finny, but in this instance I feel it is...
That's been the model for years though. Squeeze as much as you can out of the rump fan base and neglect investment in marketing to increase the customer base. It's certainly not exclusive to the current ownership sadly :(
It would be sensible for the club to announce a couple of signings for season tickets I would have thought, but I'm not too worried about the eventual team we put out.
Obviously it would be good to keep Richardson, but when you look at the team make up it's potentially not so bad.

I certainly couldn't be convinced that...
It's difficult to quantify exact reasons for the lower attendance, but given our abysmal start to the season and resulting league position I'd say that was actually not a particularly worrying drop.
The live stream has to be taken into account as well of course, particularly with away fans...
Hey, pretty much as you've said and there's also been a digger on site presumably doing some preparatory work. The encouraging thing is so far it's exactly as stated by Pooneil :)
I'm not sure who this is aimed at, but to clarify that's not what I'm doing and sounds like it's not what James is doing. (perhaps it's happening on twitter?)
I'm merely reporting what I was told by friends I trust, who of course I'm going to believe over people i've never met (as we all would)...
