The article shows them up for the clowns they are. Hopefully it reaches a national level to embarrass them; they'd hate that!

It is a two way thing and the club have never been tuned into this even when we were flying high. We should have a solid 18,000 fan base now every home game. ( obviously when we could go to games)

Two way thing? First of all most people want to go see a winning team so good performance on the pitch draws in support. There will always be a hard core who will put up with anything and keep on going, for some clubs it's in the tens of thousands and for others it can be down to a few 10's.
Building up a hard core can take years, losing it not so long. The club wether it was the Allams or its workers have in the past been tuned into this, they have done stuff for the fans it's just that since the Allams turned into petty, vindictive, ****s it's all gone downhill.
Now it's all in there hands, they are the only ones who can stop the rot. You know I think that even if the fans had another bucket collection of money to buy a player they would find a way to **** it up.

Not very hard core if they stop going the minute we start losing.

The 'hard core' fans at the Club are blokes who stood on the terraces at Boothferry and watched the Club freefall into oblivion,the terraces may have crumbled but their support didn't.It's true that it's nice to see us winning and playing good football but many have stood firm when that wasn't even remotely possible .The Premiership was a dream that many never thought achievable and of course crowd's were boosted by the opportunity to see some of the world's finest competing on our turf,relegation saw that drop off,and further off field activity has seen it drop again. I also see young Allam as vindictive and I truly hope that the Club will be sold soon before attendances drop to embarrassing levels but we have to retain some faith that someone will take a punt and realise our potential.I always look at what happened at Glasgow Rangers as an example of unbelievable support for the cause,tossed down to the bowels of the Scottish Leagues but 40,000 season ticket holders!!!I worked with blokes that went the extra mile and bought, even though they wouldn't go most weeks.We can probably get it back up to 15k a week if we survive and find an investor...Make that 3-4k if we drop!!! I genuinely hope we survive,because if we don't we could well end up in liquidation!!!
 
It would be a change to hear something positive about the club's chances instead of everyone sticking the boot in.
I firmly believe that Colin would keep this squad up regardless of other **** happening. I also firmly believe that unless McCann changes tactics, we haven't got a hope in hell!
