Re: Expectations
This is typical of most seasons, we have fans who start with high hopes and think we will be promotion candidates and others who would be glad to still be in the league. I tend to be more the latter. The reality is that we have little money and few fans and short of a miracle that won't change. Kids are more likely to follow European teams or premiership teams on tv rather than pay to watch us at one of the worst grounds in the league. We can complain about how we should be doing more to attract the younger generation but the truth is that tv on a vast scale and the number of other big clubs nearby makes it a hard task. We have to balance income against attracting more spectators because otherwise we could fo out of business again.
What is the solution? I don't know but given what the club has I think we are doing a decent job. There are a few things I could grumble about such as I'm sitting in a bar in Croatia wearing an old accy shirt because Dave sold the last one in my size minutes after we were talkingabout it but that's life. Like others Dave does the best he can with what he has and for that I am grateful. That is all I ask from those at the club.
Now, it's hot here so back to the beer and back to accy for the Exeter game followed by my first trip to crawley.
