Thanks for those attendance figures Macca. As I suspected, the presence or absence of the Ultras has no bearing on the overall figures.

I think we can discount (for now) the grand schemes of developing corporate facilities. They may be fine in years to come but design + the planning process + construction means they would be a long time coming - even assuming that we could afford them.

I think Macca is correct in saying that we should make a much bigger effort to keep those who do come. I may be wrong - and someone will correct me if I am - but I would have thought that simple development behind the Clayton End and Coppice End would be relatively straightforward. What we urgently need for home and away fans, especially families, is somewhere warm and dry to go before the game, at half time and maybe even after the game. That is where the catering outlets and toilets should be. Let's be honest - what we have now is primitive in the extreme.

Time to introduce some f words : Focus on Families and Facilities.
