i don't know too many people who watch footie week in week out , year in year out. it must be a minute percentage of the population who actually who actually do get down to the grounds. there's too many other distractions...

Enjoy your team
Are you sure? I don't have figures to hand but hundreds of thousands of folk do go regularly to watch footy week in week out which is hardly a small percentage. However all these reasons - footy on TV, bad weather on Saturday, Bank Holiday - apply just as much to other clubs as us and no one got such an awful gate as Stanley. Agree that price was probably a factor. After forking out for a game on Tuesday, perhaps some couldn't afford to go on Saturday. Problem is, the club is caught between a rock and a hard place - if they reduce the admission drastically, will they be rewarded with an increase in walk ons to make up the financial shortfall? Reckon they should try it for one match to see what happens.
