hmm. in this city, fans are fickle.
get a lot thinking "ooh premier league football" and they will get hooked

Lots did first time, some stayed, some have tried it and don't bother anymore
Do you think there are several thousand that didn't think "ooh premier league" then or this season, but might in the future?
Maybe the younger ones who can't afford to go now might give it a go when they get jobs I suppose

I dont have the answers man.
but if ppl think that the gates will fall just cos they boycott the game are sadly mistaken.
they will get replaced by others and wont be missed.

If you are referring to the Southend game, no one on here. I have though aimed that barb at a self-opinionated type on CI who used to post about his City supporting credentials whilst disparaging others but was at Wembley for his first and last rugby league match. I know people who used to go to both and were torn between the two.Some went,some didn't. The biggest rows were where they had paid for trips at work months in advance for acWembleybday out with no thought of who would be there or what an important game if would be for City that weekend and the wives wanted their weekend in Londom.

Who was said CI poster out of interest?
 
maybe they have fallen in the short term, but should we survive in the top flight, I can see the gates increasing.

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.

The problem? You see people staying away on principle as "the problem"? That's ludicrous.

One of the problems on this thread (and others) is people with limited comprehension skills who don't read what's written.

Regardless of the Allams or anbody else, some responsibility needs to be accepted by the fanbase (or at least those supporters who have stopped going).

Less sulking/boycotting, more supporting.

That's you not seeing people staying away as a problem is it?

People who have stopped going is a problem.
People who use a 'boycott' as their reason (when it's something else) are part of the problem.
People who put two and two together to make five are a problem.

I don't get what you mean
What type of reason do you think people who are saying they are boycotting have actually got?

I think some people who can no longer be arsed to attend claim they are 'boycotting'.
Some are genuinely boycotting, but not all of those who claim they are.
I know a few who are 'boycotting' and that virtue-signalling suits them nicely, better than seeming a part-timer etc
Their reasons? Ask them, they're all different, the 'boycott' is an umbrella term for them. Apathy, other interests, new bird etc
Not every 'boycotter' is a principled passionate disenfranchised fan.

Well you'll find out if the As ever actually go I suppose
But the bigger question would be what has caused people to not be arsed to go?
Either they have become disenfranchised with City, or with football in general or both

So what do you think they should do if they're 'the problem'?
Keep coming to keep you happy?
There will always be people who stop coming for all sorts of reasons

What the club should be doing is figuring out how to get them interested again...either that or figuring out how to bring young fans in to replace them

However the club appears to be doing neither, in fact they seem to be actively discouraging young people from starting to come independently
