I don't think anybody who got a season ticket for this season could be considered a fickle fan likely to be put off by a bit of a slump, given we only won 2 games out of the last 14 last season. So I don't see it likely that many of them are going to be upset enough by whatever happens next this time around not to renew. OK, fickle fans who have been attracted by our good form so far this season (not that there seem to be that many anyway) who might have taken out a season ticket if we got promoted might not if we don't. But that isn't going to leave us any worse off than we were at the start of this season.
Anyway, what's got to improve? We've won 3 lost 3 of the last 6, and none of the 6 before that (won 4 drawn 2) - and only 4 of those 12 were at home. All the losses were away, and all to top-half teams, including the runaway leaders. And if we were to win all our games in hand (OK not easy given the fixture backlog) we'll be at worst 4th and well clear of 5th. Doesn't look too bad to me, really
