Quote ="Dan Stains woz God"With all due respect Gutters, <snip>Oh, glad you managed to get another dig at the attendances in.... some of us are more interested watching the game than head-counting.

1. I listen to the games, read match reports and watch highlights. Yes, I am not there, but 7-1 is not a good start to the season, regardless and the "positives" you speak of involve the team scoring on average 1.33 more points and home than they concede.....which by the way is an average of 27 points per game. Spin what you like, but 27 points against at home is dire, regardless of whatever individual psitives you wish to glean from the opening 3 games.
2. Enjoy watching the game, but unless DH finds someone to invest or the numbers of fans goes up, do you really expect the club to survive on sub 2k gates? Digs about gates are my signature....believe me, I'd rather they weren't, but sub 2k gates will be the death of this club. 2 last year...with another 4 that were sub 3k and not one over 5k. Do you reckon that the club will get 5k for the next 2 home games COMBINED?
Depending on who you believe, it's about 30k a game in rent for the stoop.........3,200 fans through the door pays for that.....and I reckon that in the next 7 days the club will gain 0 points on the pitch and lose about 60 grand....but you carry on watching the game......whilst you can
Quote ="The Penguin"I honestly don't think you can make an objective judgement without having seen these games in the flesh. It's all very well listening to the radio commentary or the match reports, but my assessment is very different.

I take on board what you and DSWG et al say about individual highlights and positives, but the fact remains the club are on a 1 from 7 run and the coach has 20% ratio over 35 games.
