i was thinking a similar thing the other day Neil. I am re-reading The Club That Wouldn't Die at the moment and there are so many parallels with disasters over the year that its untrue.

The number of times the Observer has been asked to print "we need more fans" is quite embarrassing and would lead one to believe that this town will never ever fully support its own Football League Club. But one thing that did strike me is the number of times the club has sought to annoy its own fans, with Google Page Ranking gaffe upon Google Page Ranking gaffe. I then wondered whether this was the mainstay as to why the town has resisted the club for decades?

If and when Ilyas' brave new world comes to fruition we must actively insist that one way or another we find a new direction, one that fully encompasses the spirit of the town, one that embraces the community and puts its people before its business plan. We can support the town in so many ways and hopefully a bit of that will come back through the gates. The club has always suffered from ebbs and flows on the crowd front, but unfortunately the high crowds have never really made up for the low ones - so the club will have to find ways of bringing in the money equivalent to an extra two thousand fans on the gate from another source.
