Those priced out by withdrawal of concessions or by circumstances beyond their control are not the problem. I don't believe all the missing fans belong to the above categories. Just think that collectively as a city and as a fanbase, too many people have used the Allams as an excuse to stop attending. It is OUR club not his.
Me too. Completely talentless musically. I bought a piano years ago and took lessons. No lie she gave me my money back as i was wasting her time.
I am not going the moment and don't know if I will be going that much in the future for reasons not wholly connected to football or the Allams but not going is made easier by the remaining presence of the likes of Ehab. However one difference nowadays is that previously, even when down to crowds of 3,000 with crooks and charlatans running things and no thought of any future success,those of us who kept going thought that no matter what "this is our club". That is no longer the case and I can think of a few who were at BP for the Southend game whilst the sort of people who make up too much of a KC crowd were at Wembley who have walked away at the time of our greatest success. God help us if we slip down the leagues again, the new type fans will soon disappear and the old type ones will have found there are other ways of spending Saturdays.
Is that all the Allams or is it the gentrification, seats, sanitised atmospher as well? If/when the Allams do go and we get new owners will that feeling come back? Not sure it will.
I should have mentioned the general gentrification of football in my grammar mistake ridden diatribe as well actually
Oh and seat evictions Can't forget seat evictions or I'll have Dutch on my back...and I haven't got time to go to physio!
hate to say it but all your boycotting, wont count for ****. you will be replaced by other fans that arent quite as bothered about AA as you. <shrug> principles eh?
It is, as you suggest, a mixture of these things. Though for many the Allams were the straw that broke the camel's back* . If I find at age 65 feel that the "match day" experience is a subdued, soulless one with all the excitement and atmosphere of an evening at the theatre reverentially watching a rather serious play then heavenmkjiws what younger ones make if it. It has been mentioned often before, but would have those who got hooked on the game in the 1960s and 1970s because of the atmosphere, the singing and swaying on the terraces, become as hooked if their first experience of a game being a typical Saturday afternoon nowadays. That is apart from the fact it is no longer possible in most cases to take a spur of the moment decision to go to a game,,especially an away one. *Hoary old cliche alert.
