Quote: King Street Cat "New people and casual fans want to follow a team who are at least in with a shout of competing in the play-offs or getting to Wembley. It's become a yearly certainty reading about us being the relegation favourites in pre-season predictions. Nobody is going to read that and say, "I can't wait to give watching Wakey a go this season. I might even convince a few more to come along".
The improvement in facilities may increase footfall, it may not. What will really increase footfall is consistent, solid home performances, following up good away wins with home wins, and a string of seasons when we're not trying to survive in the last few games. It's telling that even mid-table mediocrity looks appealing right now.
Michael Carter was in a predicament. He wanted to balance the books but this left no money for investment in the team. The only way he could invest in the team was by getting attendances up. The only way to get attendances up was by investing in the team. And round and round in "relegation favourites" circles we go.'"
I think that sums us up perfectly. We attracted some good players under Kear/Chester, Kear left and then one by one, so did the players.
I think fans got fed up of hearing the same very season........we need more through the gates. You will not get more through the gates with a budget team.
At some point you have to take a risk......and as far as I'm aware........that never came.
Good luck to MC however. Thankless task and his health will be better for it away from the club.
