Agree entirely. Many of my local friends, and fans from other clubs that I meet on the trains on Saturday, find it difficult to understand that we can produce such good football from a seemingly shambolic background over the last few years.

Disagree entirely. We simply cannot go on blaming the proximity of other teams for our abysmal attendances.

How can Stockport County manage an average attendance of over 3000 when the Etihad and Old Trafford are only about 7 miles away?

And let's remember that the average attendance at Ewood Park fell from 25,000 in 2010 to under 15,000 in 2012. That's 10,000 disillusioned football fans. Surely some of them could/should have been attracted to the Crown Ground or whatever name it had during those years.
