Lock, Stock and both smoking barrels BOOM Grendel he got you good this time:laugh:You are mistaken as usual. We were a Prem side until 2001. We are now Division 3. Or did we drop two divisions in one go and ignore the other relegation?

Yes it seems you are mistaken.
In the last 15 years we have had two relegations
We have won no competition that we have competed in.
A semi final in the JPT been the closest to success.
Culminating in last season in which we finished in our lowest league position over the 15 years.
We have suffered points deductions
A move 35 miles away.
Maybe I'm the one whose mistaken and the last 15 years have actually been a steady progression?
I will make it easier for you
Name any club who have had consistent stagnation and decline for 10 years and their crowds increased or stayed the same.

Isn't that the same as three weeks?
Or name one club who have been at the top of their division had a good Cup run or promoted who's attendances never increased?
We had a good cup run in the JPT but attendances didn't particularly increase in the league.

From a revenue perspective attendance at away games is not relevant. 90% of fans don't go to away games. 90% of our fans just do not go to games.
Woe is me, let me reach for the razor blades right now.

Of course it won't all City fans are shit in their eyes, really makes me mad that they believe this is only a CCFC thing they need to open their eyes and see the truth not what they want to see.The woe is me is the people moaning about attendances
I am just pointing out it is perfectly normal. I actually think we have a good turn out from the hardcore.
If the product improves the Ricoh could be packed.

They also believe that £22.00 or £24.00 on the day is good value for what we saw on Saturday.
By the sound of it I would have felt robbed if I would have been let into the Preston game for free.
Our crowds are still crap. And some of that decline has been because of the lack of fans and therefore lack of funding going into the club. It's a 2 way street, club on decline = less fans = less revenue = less money to spend = lower quality squad = worse performances = less fans = less revenue = etc.
Us as fans have to take a portion of the blame. And I don't give 2 hoots about the decline 27k to 10k in 2 weeks is a disgrace.

I used to go to the match with a group of about 21-22 lads. We used to fill a mini-bus to away games. Now we're lucky if four of us meet up in the pub before a home game. For a lot of home games now I just drive down on my own!
But the club don't give a fuck. They don't care about losing mates of mine and family members who've fallen away in recent years and they won't care when I fall away too.
The whole experience of attending football has changed in many ways but for most of us it's mainly down to getting older. Those mates of old have drifted away, found other interests, moved away with work, became bogged down with partners and children, can't justify spending on football etc.
The worrying trend is the apparent lack of interest from many of the younger generations but then these youngsters have so much else to do in life compared to say the 70's or 80's or even 90's.
Believe me, when your family home had no central heating, no home phone, 1 small TV in the corner dominated by your father with 4 channels on it, no computer, no computer games etc you couldn't wait to go out and see your mates and do other stuff. These days { my kids included} have a life of luxury by comparison and through various pieces of technology they don't have to leave their cosy bedrooms to hook up with friends !
Yes, I agree with you Otis, we already do this to a degree as a family. Our visits to the Ricoh invariably include a bit of prematch social which usually involves a meal and a few beers with friends. Trouble is this whole experience then pushes the price of the day right up. Have to say though on many occasions we have come away from the football and said we 'Should have stayed in the pub and missed the game'.
My son is 19 and ironically has just started uni in Northampton. He is interested in football and other sports, the lure of a live event can still be compelling, but without some kind of hook there is nothing to draw him back. I have lots of good memories. The best I can think of during his time are the last game at Highfield Road and the first game at the Ricoh
