Crowd yesterday and gates this season ?

Quoted from pen penfras

I'm not disputing that what was happening on the pitch was garbage. I just don't consider all the moaning that's been going on for most of the season to be "first class support". Support is getting behind the team, that didn't happen even when we were in a decent league position under Slade.

Look at how many marveled to away games this season whilst we where under Salde - That for me is getting behind the team. You buy a ticket you're entitled to an opinion in my view regardless of what that opinion is.  

What do you expect people to do applaud poor performance and defeats?

You're not Marley are you by any chance? You seem to be using his kind of language. i.e. patronising and telling people to 'shut up'.

Average home attendance under Slade: 4290
Average home attendance under Slade in 2018 (his last 5 games): 3633

Average home attendance under Jolley (5 games): 5979

The attendance for the games under Jolley was around 40% higher than the average up until then or 65% higher for his 5 games compared to Slade's final 5 games.

Weird that Macclesfield have won the National league at a canter and Stanley champions of League 2 on average crowds of 1600 & 1900 respectively

To be fair big following from both Chesterfield and Notts County helped but would still be over 5000 I believe without this so attendance wise pretty damn good given that only the Swindon and Notts County games have seen us play any quality football. Some of late have been tension ridden as we tried to stop the rot but the rest is best forgotten in what has been the worst L2 I can remember typified by Wycombe getting automatic promotion and Notts County in play offs neither particularly good sides and atrocious to watch.

And this comment underlines how the board and its supporters expects GTFC fans, "the ordinary people", to act, like brain dead lemmings, because that's how they portray them in their heads..

What you're forgetting Pen Penfas is, it wasn't entirely due to the garbage served upon the pitch by Slade. Bragate, the poor treatment of Kristine Green, Matt Dean and the Fan's Forum fiasco, condescending club statements, being called vile, bullies and being told to "shut up" had hell of a lot to do with the gates, atmosphere and patience too. Or have you airbrushed that lot from your memory?

All on top of fifteen years of the worst period in the club's history, broken promises regarding the new stadium and you still want to stick the boot into the fans.. it's a bit sickening to be honest..

The above post is precisely why it`s next Season`s gates that need to be the Club`s priority now.Yes the decision to release Season Tickets for sale now is a positive step BUT not nearly enough that announcement needed to go out with a statement and an apology for once again putting them through the mill due to terrible Manager decisions post PH.That`s done now what the Club MUST do is build bridges off the pitch. The fans want MJ signed up longer term and in my opinion he deserves that reward as do the handful of players we want to retain don`t faff about get them tied down.

Not weird at all.  Just shows how badly run the club is that we've had to endure a relegation scrap, (4th in the last 5 season in the Football League) despite the fact we have far greater resources available to us.
