Tbh it depends WHEN they fk off .. the way its going there aint no sign of them doing it anytime soon. Like many posters have already mentioned .. since our personally imposed exiles many have found other things to occupy their time on matchdays. For me .. every matchday i find myself huddled round the radio hanging on the commentary .. frightening the cats when we score .. turning the air blue when the opposition scores .. the missus never knew i possessed such a potty mouth ! Providing I'm still alive and kicking I'll be back .. perhaps not every game .. afraid these days grandkids tend to take a fair amount of time and having 3 grand daughters and a grand son situated all over the country .. there will be times when i cant go .. but i do miss the matchday experience.

Sadly i cant see that day happening anytime soon though.

first match after the Allams, we'll see a big jump, first match after the Allams and concessions back and i'd imagine we'd see 18-20k

The problem facing any new owners is that the Allams have messed so much up, it's impossible to rectify overnight so anticipate that crowds will return, but inevitably it will be over a period of time. The length of the period of time will depend also on what the owners don't just say what they are going to do, what their ambitions are, but also walk the walk!

Personally I'll be making a point of being at the first game post them gone even if I have to fly half way round the world to get there!

I would absolutely make the trip from Manchester for the first game, even if its a Tuesday night. Until that happens...i'll remain fairly disenfranchised with the whole thing.

Even if it was Tuesday night, 11.30pm kick off and on TV, I'd be there! I'd also drag half my family out of bed to go with me

I am increasingly more of the opinion that we never see them leave. No one is going to pay their asking price until they drop it by rather a lot. The worry then is that the new owners don't have the cash to invest in new players after all our best have been let go or sold. They are planning to be a lower half Championship team and we would need an inspirational Manager to lift us beyond the mid table point. But, I would be back. I can't be doing with listening on the radio any more and can't get it at all when they broadcast on Digital...Although I do enjoy the commentary at times...The other night had a gem when we were playing Millwall...a player went down and it was difficult to see who it was so they went through the standing city players to work out who it was....and accounted for all the team before they realised it was a Millwall player down...clowns!

I suppose those who don't go.can always call humberside after the game to say how **** the team is, but they fancy one of those pies
 
Like a few others have said, the Allams have made a lot of us change our habits, so I reckon it will be difficult to get the kind of crowds we were getting. With Sky putting midweek games on the red button, I don't feel I'm missing out so much if I don't go now, also Murdoch doesn't own SKY any more so you don't feel you are funding an evil empire. That said, I will be back when they go. It will take time to repair the damage they have caused, and the worse thing is they are still there!

As stewey said what If you and others don't like the next owners?
Or the next.
There's every chance.
Apart from concessions I don't think too much will change.

I’ve already decided I won’t like them
All owners are weirdos


EDIT - It’s highly likely that I’ll dislike them less than these ones mind you

It’s hard to say as a lot of damage has been done but for what it’s worth my guest would innitially see an increase of around 50 - 60 % the day the Allams leave and most would probably stick with the team as a sign of solidarity,certainly for a while at least but after years of relative success including a Cup final,two play off wins and promotions it’s had to judge how many more would stick around beyond May should we lose more quality players.
