Quote: exiled Warrior "Not to be personal , as I do not know your circumstances, but your description I wonder is it not a reflection on life priorities changing as well and that for a lot of people on here as they get older and other things in life take precedent then they will not go to as many games . I also wonder if the shortfall is not (as in previous generations) being made up by younger fans (with all the other options now available) and that is where the part of the diminishing attendances comes from?'"
In regards to myself you’re probably spot on. I’ve got a five year old child and time spent with her cuts back the time you spend with friends. That means that when opportunities come up to go out with friends, that clash with games that don’t mean a great deal, it’s a much tougher choice then it used to be.
In regards to the junior fans, I’d agree that’s a huge issue. There doesn’t seem to be half as many kids in the South Stand as there was five years back.
