Sub 3,000 will be the norm if things do not change,
Then Fenty will act.

Shocking news then Pete
Not really...you'd expect the Lincoln games to exceed that figure. Prior to that it was Mansfield and before that it was games in the Football League....

While we are hovering round the play offs Pete I think fenty will sit tight regardless of gates but if mid table starts looming then I'd expect the axe to fall

I have been a loyal season ticket home fan for years. Today if I had not had a season ticket I would not have gone. I will not go to the Gateshead game , normally I would, but I will not pay any more to watch this team. We are garbage at home. Forest Green were a bit unlucky as well. We get dominated in midfield and create little. In short I am bored to tears watching Town and I certainly do not expect a lot. I bet I am not alone in this apathy but I expect a committed home team that can string 3 passes together. After 5 home defeats I have seen enough and only my season ticket keeps me going as this is rotten entertainment UTM

Sad to read but there it is - some primary evidence of how things look to committed fans.

This to a tee, I have refrained from posting for a while after the match thinking it might feel better, it does not and I have this feeling that JF was a little premature in his comments regarding backing his manager and pushing himself into a corner. I like others are expecting something to happen in the transfer market to enable us to stay at least in the playoffs, I thought Watson did OK by the way in his little cameo in a (Pearson excepted) sh1te team performance yesterday

I won't be going back to Blundell park in a hurry and I thought I'd never say that, I am sick of feeling let down, don't get me wrong I can take a Town losing but it's the in the manner they are losing, we seem to run out of ideas and have no plan B.
This season is just passing us by, if we did make the playoffs I think we would bottle it like seasons gone by.

Tbh Chris if things don't change, I can't see us even making the playoffs. We only just got into them last season with one game to spare. At the end of the day goals win games and we haven't got the strike force to do this on a regular basis. Take yesterday, one of LJL efforts on goal cleared the roof of the osmond stand, and that's the problem. I don't like LJL, but got to give him credit for his goals so far this season upto now but he still misses far to many chances imo

Budget is based on 3200/3300 average attendance.
We currently average 3578 but that is likely to reduce unless we really turn the corner, score lots of goals and win at BP
7100 Xmas day minus 800 Gimps equals 6300 minus 3500 New Years Day equals 2800 missing bums on seats 2800 times approx. average £15 equals £42000 or there abouts, the cost of an average loan players wages I would have thought Now that's the Hurt

It's amazing given our home form we are still in a play off position. Whether that is down to luck or not I don't know as I can't afford away fixtures but if we had performed like we have done at home we would be in the bottom half of the table. I only hope we can turn this around soon and at least beat Barnet at home just to prove we can beat the best in this god awful league. On the evidence thus far it don't look good. We need some heroes on the pitch at B.P. What we don't need is a egoistic chairman/director coming on here giving snide remark's "bit quite on here" and blaming fans for a lack of backing and apathy. Imho some of the players have also been guilty of that and that echo's what the crowd feel. Pearce is the only one at the back who looks in charge and bothered for instance.
