Cant argue with the logic of that but the way to success lies in bringing the owner and the fans together. The fans need to understand the problems and financial challenges faced by the owner and the owner needs to understand that if he ignores the fans or takes them for granted he will find himself with fewer of them, which will only compound his difficulties.

The club has lost 1000's of paying customers since pearson took over and even more before he did. people have voted with their feet and unless there is a big change at the club it will continue. I expect sub 8k crowds next season

Correct.

Spot on. If we miss out on the 8, as seems possible/likely, and survive in SL, his attachment to Radford beyond this season would spell disaster from a season pass perspective.

i wish some folk would make their mind up

It does make you wonder if something else is going on we're not aware of

Such as?

It rains every time we play

radders has blamed the fans for not supporting the team, yet look at what I have posted above about attending fc fans. where did I say I cant support the club? I have done so far 20 years, home and away, spending more money each year trying to do may bit, like many many others. AP asked us to rally round this season, and, like every other season, the masses have done so, and for what? entertainment - no. winning team - no. a coach who knows what he is doing - no. to help line his pockets/decrease the debts for himself - yes.

I go to the matches, get behind the team, come home with a very huskey voice from chanting shouting.

p.s - when I leave the KC, the stadium staff etc turn lights out and close the doors, so I don't need to, maybe stay at games longer and you'd know that

im not outraged that you refuse to match my dismay at how our club is being run into the ground, im just sad that you don't want to see our club run proper, and upset that you seem to be happy with what we serve up on a weekly basis.

my "outrageonometer" isn't close to full capacity, not quite yet, but will let you know when it is, just so you know

ATEOTD, we all support the team. We wouldn't post on here otherwise (obviously there are one or two exceptions - hi Rovers fans!). I'm sure that most people on here still attend matches, still buy shirts, merchandise etc. FC is in our blood and they always will be.

But do we have to be happy with the way things are? Is a happy fan the only "true" supporter? No, of course not. People need to accept that some fans aren't happy with the way things are run and will air their opinions accordingly. Doesn't mean they aren't behind the team, it just means that they care. Likewise, people also need to accept that some people are happy or indifferent to how things are and don't have to get on a soapbox to scream and shout to the world.

Just because people have different attitudes doesn't make anyone more or less of a supporter than the person at the opposite end of their personal spectrum. As I said at the beginning: we all support the team.

And the rest.
