Wont be less than 10k announced unless the club are about to take some action on the agar front

Think it will be sub 10k, hopefully as low as possible, 8500 would really send a message that the club won't carry on turning over what it has done unless the board place more emphasis on the performance of the team.

11,000 tonight IMO

I'll go for 10,400 but I really hope that it is much lower than that !

AGAR OUT !! please

Not this again. I'd guess that he's wishing for a short term drop in gates to focus the board's mind, so that a longer term drop in gates doesn't become a reality. It's perfectly obvious where he's coming from, and he's no less of a fan because of it.

I'm not suggesting anyone is a lesser/better fan, it was a question to a supporter and I wanted a reply.

A bigger crowd, IMO, can really spur on the team to win a game. This is why I would want a big crowd. Instead of worrying about Agar/The Board, how about the players on the pitch who can do something about it?

There are people, myself included, who feel that we will never reach our true potential whilst Agar is in charge. They see a situation where we'll drift along indefinitely in mid-table mediocrity, playing poor rugby, and without ever having a realistic chance of winning anything. In that scenario, there's a good chance that we could lose fans permanently as they drift away and find other interests.

If a significant short-term drop in gates helps to spped up the removal of Agar (and the appointment of a suitable replacement), this is, to some people, preferable to a larger gate meaning that we register a win against the Crusaders, but still don't stand a chance of competing with the top teams in the longer term.

^^ Its unreal the way some people think isnt it!

As if it would think that not going would make the board even consider Agar's position...

I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but I am more interested in supporting my team for a win then not going to a match just becuase I want the coach out. That's just my way of thinking, anyway.

A lot of people are like that. they just think about today and tomorrow will take care of itself. Do you find yourself looking forward to each payday after you've blown each month's salary in about 3 days?

What a patronising comment! It's my opinion to support my team, it's not wrong or I am not doing anything bad! I get my pass, every year, to support my team. End of.

And that's up to you. But there does seem to be a tendency for some posters to look down their noses at those who think differently. They don't state it explicitly, but the inference is clear: how can you call yourself a fan and want the gates to drop (or the team to lose)?

The fact is, some people believe (whether rightly or wrongly - this will only become clear in time) that a drop in income for the club or a string of poor results will speed up Agar's departure meaning that the long term detriment to the club is less great than if he were allowed to continue to the end of his contract. This doesn't mean they love the club any less, just that they have a different idea about how the long term success of the club might best be secured.
